Reached by Ally Condie

4.0

For me this book started off slow and I didn't expect much. It didn't seem to have a lot of plot at first and seemed to have the typical dystopian theme of a rising, rebellion and people who want to change the system. I like that it switched perspectives between Cassia, Ky and Xander as it gave us a view into all of their lives as they split up and all did their jobs. The story picked up about half way when we found out more about the pilot and the plague, then creating another plague making everything worse. We found out a lot more happened in society than they let the people know and how the rising and society got merged and they couldn't tell the difference between the two anymore. I liked Ky and Cassia's ending that was lovely but I was unsure about Xanders. I find it hard to believe that he would leave his family to run off with a girl he doesn't even know that well and love her like that. We were left hanging about what happened with society and how the city was ran, this could have been done allowing Condie to continue the series if she liked but I would rather have a good solid conclusion that have to make it up myself.
