"Don't judge a book by its cover" - Unknown
I was not aware that this book would be a part of The YA Book Club's monthly read, but as I stumbled upon the group shelf today, I decided instead to write a review for it, since I've already read it.
My opinion of this book is somewhat influenced by the other comments/reviews on this book, but an opinion is only formed after gaining a foundation (aka reading). To be honest, I think this book is a cheap version of all Dystopian novels, not just [a:Lois Lowry|2493|Lois Lowry|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1348162077p2/2493.jpg]'s The Giver Quartet. It has all the elements, such as: a controlled world in which the main character lives in, some secret about the so-called 'future world' that is a big part of the story's plot, and one can never forget any hint of romance. Romance is what brings in teen readers these days, but when overdone, it can be frustrating.
The plot of the first book was basically an introduction the whole Matched Trilogy, and I think it has a good pace. Though it can be dull and boring at times, it was still a great book to read and I recommend it to anyone who is willing to read such a criticized novel.
