Another Young Adult book trilogy that captured my imagination. Matched is about a utopian wolrd where Society controls everything but at a cost. Young people are "matched" with their future spouses--although they can opt to remain single and not put their name in the matched database. In this perfectly contorlled world members have no say in anything they do in thier lives including the amout of calories they eat in a day.
The book begins with Cassia (the female protagonist) heading ot her Matching banquet. She is still a believer at this point but her world perseption quickly unravels. I won't tell you much more than that but I was immediately drawn into the world.
I thought Condie did a great job describing the Society and the feeling members had with the tight control on their lives but the fear of even discussing. Cassia begins to question the world around her and at the heart of the book is a love story. Cassia eyes are open as she falls in love with a boy with whom she was not matched.
I recommend this book. I'm planning on reading the second book.
