jennifer divergent for my vote! ;)


April 1) Divergent
2) Hunger Games
3) Matched.

So my first pick is Divergent


jennifer i really HATED matched. just thought I'd put that out there. its last on my list of the 3.


jennifer all of these books are actually pretty similar when you think about it.


jennifer true.

I agree with you


Katie I hated Matched but I think Divergent is the best of them all.


jennifer yay! finally someone who understands the rubbish that matched really is! i thought i was the only one out of the group.

Cass 1) Hunger Games
2) Divergent
3) Matched
I hated Matched, I dreaded having to finish it, but I figured if I spent the money on it I should at least figure out how it ended.


jennifer i couldn't bare matched to the end. i read like three fourths


April I'm personally not going to continue with the Matched trilogy. I bought Matched for $7 at Wal-Mart and I almost couldn't finish it. The story was okay.I didn't totally hate it! I don't think I can completely hate a book or series, but I certainly am not going to continue with this series. I tried by borrowing my friends copy, and gave it back because I found the storyline really predictable, and I just don't care enough about the characters to see what happens. So I'm not going to continue with that series. I already commented on what my favourites are. Honestly though, Divergent and the Hunger Games are tied for favorites for me. I would count them as one, though they are completely different books by completely different authors there are still Districts/ Factions and I love both series the same amount for almost the same reasons, so really my list should be:
1) Divergent/ The Hunger Games
2) Matched

Though I didn't care for Matched much at all.

Erin the matched seires just got worse as they went.
divergent and hunger games are two of my favorite books so it hard to pick one.
Divergent, hunger games, then matched.


Sofia DIVERGENT, who could say otherwise
Then the hunger games which is just a tiny bit lower list
Matched could have been good, but the excitement level wasn't high enough for me, so I have to say it was pretty bad

Emily I hated matched, so it is a tough choice between Divergent and THG. I would have to say THG, even though I didn't like the last book as much.

Katie I'd have to go with The Hunger Games, hands down. Divergent had potential but Insurgent just killed it. And Matched doesn't really compare, it had too slow pacing, characters that weren't very interesting, and a basic story we'd all seen done before and better.


Hanna Butler Divergent. Then the Hunger Games. Then Matched. I actually think Matched is alright, but not as great as Divergent or The Hunger Games. But, that could be because I was just trying to fill the space until the third Divergent book comes out.

1)Huger Games
2)Divergent
3)Matched


Jordan hunger games


Isabella I'd say
1)Hunger Games (by far)
2)Matched
3)Divergent

I totally loved he Hunger Games, I liked it way more than the other two. My problem with Divergent was that I disliked Insurgent so much, and that influenced my opinion on the first one.


versa DIVERGENT!!!
but i guess it really depends.
Me, I'm just not really a love triangle type of gal. None of the couples that I like end up being together. Sigh.


Tina J My order in preference is:
1) Divergent
2) Hunger Games
3) Matched


Stéphanie Hungergames for me.. but I still have to read diivergent... some time soon ;-)

message 26: by Jess (new) - rated it 3 stars

Jess 1) Divergent
2) Matched
Hunger Games doesn't make my list.


Annaliese You people are just trying to make this difficult! These are my three favorites!!!


Jordan You have all convinced me! I'm going to check out Divergent. I have to say I read the entire Matched series after reading Hunger Games. I loved HG and was trying to find another series to fall in love with.
Matched was just okay. I didn't hate it; I didn't love it. However, each book was worse than the one before it.


Carol krüger HUnger Games


Sadie Scott I really loved divergent so it's my favorite and the hunger games was good. It wasn't the best book I have read but it's second and then matched. I don't hate it. It's not a bad book. I'm on the third one and so far it's taking me two months to read it and I usually finish books in two days so it is really slow but it's not bad just a little boring but I don't hate it.


Josey Hunger games completely all the way. Then divergent and then matched. The hunger games have such an amazing, honest, heart-wrenching story line and the writing is phenomenal. Divergent series, they're amazing, too, and the writing is good, it's just not as emotionally well written as the hunger games. Matched is written well and has a complex storyline, but the second book is very hard to read. There you are, thats my opinion.

Erin Reynolds 1) Divergent--> love both books so far!
2) Hunger Games--> I loved the first two novels, but Mockingjay ruined the series for me.
3) Matched-->Crossed..? need I say more


averycait Hunger games


Don't_Trot_and_Text 1.) Divergent-has my top vote of the three
2.) Hunger Games-second because wasn't quite as awesome as Divergent
3.) Matched- had no plot or intro, climax, or resolution...

Fionna Chan It'd be a very close call, but Divergent is my top!

i feel the same! hg series was really good until mockingjay and crossed wasn't that great...i didn't even try the third one, Reached! haha!


message 38: by Ana (new) - rated it 3 stars

Ana Divergent for sure. The others don't compare.


message 39: by Cara (new) - rated it 4 stars

Cara The books are all my favorites. Hunger Games is definitely the most original, but they're tied. Out of the series, probably Hunger Games because I liked 2 of the books a lot and I liked the overall ending. In Matched I hated the other two and Insurgent had no reason to exist other than the ending and a little more of the plot.


Atessa Divergent. Definitely Divergent. Most definitely Divergent.


Meredith Klein MATCHED!!!!!!

Racheal Sunshine Ughh crap, hard question...love em all.


1st- Matched
2nd- Hunger Games
3rd- Divergent

Another guestion for those who read Matched... Xander or Ky? I can't decide lol


April Racheal wrote: "Ughh crap, hard question...love em all.

1. Matched.
2. Hunger Games.
3. Divergent.

Honestly Matched was my least favourite out of them all, but it was still really good. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I woulds prefer Ky, just because even though Xander is Cassia's best friend, he kind of just shows up when he's needed, but Ky actually bonds with Cassia throughout the book. Though they do both have their good and bad points.


Racheal Sunshine Yeh, i agree...but i just cant decide like, their both sweet, their both good looking, and they both have been through alot.

Joan Matched didn't really put up much of a competition compared to Divergent and Hunger Games. However, if it is a snorefest contest, then Matched would definitely win. =D
