This was so, so pitifully poetic and metaphorical. To begin with, that was fine, but after 512 pages of Cassia rabbiting on and on and on, I started to lose the will to live. Also, the writing style was simple and boring (Condie NEEDS to work on better similes and metaphors...) and the names were terrible - a hill called 'The Hill'?!!
However, the plot was... Alright, I suppose. In other YA Dystopians (I'm not sure if this qualifies as a dystopian but hey) with an all supreme government, it is the government that causes the threat. However, in Reached, it's a plague. That made it less like a carbon copy of The Hunger Games or Legend like some books are.
All in all, I wouldn't waste your time reading this series. Seriously. It wasn't terrible but there are MUCH better series' out there.
