review 1: I liked the first book enough to continue reading the second but it was so bad, I was thinking twice about reading the second book and when I did end up reading it, I hated it. So I thought that I would hate this book too, but I continue on because I wanted to know the ending. And surprisingly, I liked it much better than I liked the second one but not as much as I liked the first book. While reading the book, I can't help thinking that it would have been more believable had the characters been older than 17 years old because seriously, how did 17 years old get so good so quickly, like in the case of Ky being able to the "the best" pilot in the Rising and Xander being able to create the cure, etc etc. I like the ending though. However, it would have been better if Ally Con... moredie had told us who the people chose at last.
review 2: Honestly, I feel like the lone wolf when I look at all of these reviews. I absolutely loved the Matched series, and everywhere I look, people bash it. What bothers me the most is people constantly say they want a different book that goes against the norms of action and violence and killing and dystopia and whatever. But all I'm seeing is people discussing how the book didn't end the way they thought it would or it played out differently. THAT IS CALLED A TWIST. A twist is that the Society and the Rising are the same, that Cassia can't escape being controlled but still manages to find a way through creativity. Condie wasn't lazy not to add fighting - she made a twist that the Rising was basically the Society as well. She didn't lose the love triangle appeal. She started the book based on love but it progressed into much more than that. Cassia didn't have to pick someone at the end of the last book. She picked Ky in the first book and the other two books were focusing on the Society and trying to break free from all of the regulations. That's what I love about this book. Condie differs from the rest of YA Dystopia by making the series transform from the first to the third. And Reached, I thought, was my favorite. At the time I read the book, Ebola was on the rise and everyone was scared about it. So I thought the Plague was a great way to finish the last book. The Society never had a leader to defeat as in other YA Dystopians, which sets it apart. If you didn't like the book because it wasn't like Divergent or The Hunger Games but you advocate for diverse story lines in books, then it doesn't make sense to not like Matched. The Plague could actually happen in real life. Perhaps the Dystopian 1984-esque world could not, but a mass disease that kills countless citizens of a country could. Living in a country without the violence of the Middle East, the Plague seems more relatable, at least to me, than a coup d'état over a horrific leader. I didn't see Matched as a love triangle book. I saw it as a book about a group who tries hard to live the life they desire, and find a way to reach their dreams against the hold of Society. less

never finished. I liked book 1, but then I had to force my way through book 2, then gave up here.

This trilogy was, in my opinion, very slow and not very interesting.
