Matched

Author: Ally Condie

Genre: Science fiction

Series: Matched series

Number in series: 1^st

My rating on a 1-10 scale: 8.5

Type: Fiction

Number of pages: 369

Time period: Future

My overall opinion: An interesting book, and one that seemed to be very much in the style of Hunger Games, from the little I’ve read of it. It’s a dystopian society, and written in first person, present tense…and I didn’t even think about it until several pages in, a very good sign. It’s got a fascinating cover (that’s what drew me to read it). Matched is enthralling and impossible to put down.
