Reached (Matched #3)

[Riya]

This thread is to discuss Reached by Ally Condie!!! Remember to use spoiler tags so that people who haven't read the book yet don't get it all ruined!

Enjoy!!!

I didn't like this book at all.. It dragged on for so long and had so many references to art, I found it distracting

[Cyana]

It does drag...totally agree with you Katey

[Kayla]

I don't like this series at all. The premise was really good but the execution was poor and it was very slow-paced.

I wanted her to pick Xander! Everything she loves about Kai isn't true about him–his bravery, his part in the rebellion. It's Xander.

you didn't use the spoiler tags and just ruined the ending for me... thanks

[Hayley]

This was posted so long ago I assumed everyone in this group who was going to read it had already. But you're welcome. Reading Reached is a gigantic waste of time.

[Hayley]

And really, that's more of a spoiler for Crossed than Reached itself. I am sorry you feel as though I've ruined Reached for you, but honestly going into reading it you have to be at least 90% sure that's the boy she'd pick.

[Lucia]

Lol! I know I know I was teasing you, I am reading it right now... should I skip to the last few chapters? Not sure I can put up with Ky and Indie's relationship or Lei's talk about her match or the whole Gallery thing.

[Hayley]

I had a hard time trucking through it, but that's your call. I feel like Matched is a really great series for preteens, but for teens–twenty something's its a little childish/whiny-esque.

[Lucia]

Agree. I don't see any definite personal pods except maybe ky

[Melissa]

It was so obvious that Cassia was gonna end up with Ky. All she ever thought about was him, everything she risked was for him. When she would think about Xander it was about how she loved him but as like a friend/brother. It was a poorly made book from a poorly made love triangle made from a poorly made idea.

I didn't like the last two books. Matched was good but they could've ended it there. I mean she was clearly going to choose Kai

[Vicky]

I am going to force myself to finish this trilogy only because it will bug me not to. However, I am extremely disappointed. I feel this story line had so much potential and then someone hit the snooze button! ugh!

[Nora]

When I read this book, which was quite some time ago, it had really been hyped up. So of course I was excited and once I start a series I have to finish it. But unfortunately for me this book was a bummer, not only was it predictable it was not really grabbing or memorable. It might be some peoples idea of a good book but not mine.
