Matched
discussion
is divergent, matched or hunger games better?
i like matched better because it gives the reader the sense that they are living in a whole new world.

1) Divergent
2) Hunger Games
3) Matched
At first I liked Matched, but the next two books bored me out of my tree. I mean, I literally could not get past Chapter Two. It was so long and so arduous to read the first few paragraphs. It was going nowhere, there was no suspense, no surprises. The world Condie created was unique and I liked the new take on a futuristic dystopia, but it was too slow and too mellow for a teen dystopia-lover. If the characters were in their twenties or thirties, it would be a good book for adults. I was at the shops, and, curious about what adults like to read, I wandered to their section and discovered most of the ones written by women are either extremely sexual or extremely fluffy. You know, fluffy, like sitting on a cloud with a head filled with air and a wedding approaching. They all looked incredibly boring. But the male writers have some great ideas, I'm talking about Dan Brown and Bryce Courtenay and all them. But, like I say, if the storyline of Matched was incorporated into characters several years--decades--older, it would be a good book for adult readers. Just my opinion :)

I'm with Sally. Who in their right mind could hate Matched? I've already read Crossed and I'm in the middle of Reached. Best series ever!!!!!!!!
I'm with you Charlotte! Go Matched!

Thanks! just finished the matched trilogy LUVED IT

All of them are better than this series. But the first book in Matched is good. The rest of them just don't "match" up.

Haha. Nice pun. I liked the matched trilogy
Divergent......no doubt
Asking a person to choose between Divergent and the Hunger Games? Low blow, mate. I don't know, one of those two. Definitely not matched. Honestly, I thought it was sorta creepy...
But why...? Divergent doesn't have a love triangle... Until Al died... Which is depressing enough.For Matched, is it just me or something cuz it bores me. And there was a love triangle but it was so damn predictable. Oh, and Xan and Ky reminds me so much of Peeta and Gale.
And for THG, oh well, Peeta increased the likelihood of being Katniss' partner. So, yeah, though there was still a love triangle. It wasn't that predictable, I guess? So, THG?
Well this is my order of preference:3- "Matched" The writing was poetic and I enjoyed it! The story line lacked a bit for me and the pace was slow not in my taste to like. The theme is pretty interesting to learn about, the characters are likable? I have mixed feelings about them since I don't necessarily hate them nor simply adore them.
2- "Divergent" I really enjoyed both of the books. So many twists and turns! The writing was a bit too simplistic for my enjoyment but the character development and pace was just awesome! I would have placed this series as my first choice but it still lacks its last book so I can't give it an overall evaluation.
1- "The Hunger Games" This trilogy literally has everything I enjoy out of the dystopian genre! A futuristic society planning for a rebellion, a taste of romance, very likable characters, climaxes in almost every chapter...point is it was a very hard series to put down for necessary things like eating, bathroom, and sleeping *lol* Definite my #1 choice (for now)
DIVERGENT!!!!!!!Dnt bother with Matched

i've read Matched, don't really like it. i mean, it was okay, but if you give me the book again i wouldn't bother reading it. not worth the time :/

I agree
Divergent!! You will love the plot and as a fan of Hunger Games trilogy, I definitely prefer Divergent!
I know everyone absolutely loves Hunger Games, and I thought it was a good series, but to be honest, Divergent is my favorite book in the world. Sure, it doesn't have a love triangle....but for me that's not what makes a book good. And I think it is kind of nice that she only likes Tobias so you know you wont have to worry about another guy.Matched was just ew. So was Crossed and I hated Reached. Sorry.

MATCHED IS AMAZING!!! :D
(In my opinion) Divergent is the best, Matched is next, and Hunger Games is last, but I have reasons for disliking the Hunger Games.

Either the Hunger Games or Divergent. I didn't really like Matched.
tie between hunger games and matched

You know what, I just didn't like the characters in the series at ALL. and I hated how ALL the characters got progressively worse as the series went on. Yes, I hated Mockingjay. because All Katniss could do was cry, I don't remember what Gale did, and seriously, Peeta, why?
But honestly, I didn't like any of the three main characters even in the first book.
Matched or Divergent!
Hunger Games then Divergent

I've only read Matched.

3. Matched
I loved all of the divergent books so that's why divergent is first. Huger games is second because mockingjay was such a disappointment. And lastly, I enjoyed the matched series but...it wasn't really mind-blowing for me.
