I am only half way through this book but I can't put it down. Great concept and so far great writing and story telling
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Really good sci fi story set in the future,looking foward to reading the 2nd and 3rd instalments which are due out in nov 2011, and nov 2012
Cassia lives in a future world where everything is controlled by Society. People where different colour uniforms depending on their status, meals - all nutritionally tailored for the individual - are supplied. Even death is controlled. The story starts with Cassia about to attend the ceremony where she gets to find out who she is to be Matched with,.ie. who she'll marry when she's older. For most people this is usually someone they've never met before but Cassia's match ends up being her best friend, Xander. The matchees are given data cards with information about their match, obviously pointless to Xander and Cassia, they grew ip together after all but Cassia decides to take a look anyway, only to have a picture of another boy flash up on the screen briefly. Cassia wonders if there has been some mistake. Could it be that this boy is actually her match. It's strange because Society doesn't make mistakes and even stranger because she also knows the other boy, Ky. this book was interesting and a i found it amazing how ally condie wrote a book where children only learn specific things and follow rules they might not believe in. cassia is completly content in her society untill she falls in love with ky why being promised to xander she starts to question everything about the society especially about herself. overall this is a gd book and a brill read i completely recomend reading it and the rest in the trilogy when they come out.Read full review
