csquareded 's review for:
Matched
by Ally Condie
notwhat i expected, but still good, went through all three books in pretty short order. I don't remember what happened in each book specifically, but the trilogy as a whole, so I'll write that down here (but will keep it spoiler free).
I've read a pretty large number of book that can be labeled dystopian. That very title suggests that the books are going to be in the future, with a corrupt government, and the main character is going to somehow be involved in finding out the truth, exposing the truth, or overthrowing the government. This series isn't that much different in that respect. But the reason I keep going back to this type of novel is that they all find different ways that the government is corrupt, and how the government decides to control the people is what intrigues me (and how the main characters fight them).
This series did have a decent perspective on potential corrupt government control, though parts of the series were rather predictable, and that made some parts kind of bland. But I did like the overall arc, and the resolution was decently unique.
The books also had some good things to say about not only preserving the past, but also creating the future.
