Compelling and easy to read, if relatively faithful to the typical post-apocalyptic distopian YA. I enjoyed it, read the whole thing in two days, and am looking forward to starting the next one tonight. This will definitely be a series I'll be sad to see end, and I'll be shocked if it isn't a movie sometime soon.

Matched trilogy, book one.

Not sure what it is about me and YA dystopian fiction lately - but I'm liking this one so far. Let's see how the series goes.

When will people learn that homogenization of a society never works?!
Isabelle is loving this series.
Wow. Feels like Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 done modern. Writing is only good but the story and characters are humdinger.

This was a creative book, but the characters didn't pull me in as much as other books like this-such as Uglies by Scott Westerfield and Hunger Games. I will keep reading the series to find out what happens though.

Another very well written dystopian YA series. The world has been well thought and created so that it doesn't feel one dimensional at all.
