Review: Matched by Ally Condie


cover from goodreads.com//book/show/7735333-matched
Synopsis: Like everyone else Cassia has always believed in the Society. They trusted the Society's decisions; where they should live, who they should marry, what job to do for the rest of their lives, and when to die. Everyone has always followed every rule. And Cassia was prepared to be just like everybody else. That is, until a supposed glitch in the system makes her notice someone else other than the boy she was arranged to marry.

My Review: This is a straight forward novel. There's a love triangle, a conflict, and someone's heart is broken. Whose heart that will be is not exactly a mystery. It's all set in a dystopian society so if you like your romance novel with totalitarianism then go ahead and pick this up. 

While I was reading this book I thought that this dystopian idea was clever. At least compared to another dystopian book I read recently. I liked the idea of using IQ tests, personality tests, and probabilities to determine the optimal outcome of various aspects of life. I thought that kind of scenario makes sense.
