Matched by Ally Condie

Hey,
Today I will be posting a review on the book Matched by Ally Condie.

Title: Matched
Author: Ally Condie 
Publisher: Dutton Books
Release Date: March 9, 2011
What it's about:
For Cassia, nothing is left to chance--not what she will eat, the job she will have, or the man she will marry. In Matched, the Society Officials have determined optimal outcomes for all aspects of daily life, thereby removing the "burden" of choice. When Cassia's best friend is identified as her ideal marriage Match it confirms her belief that Society knows best, until she plugs in her Match microchip and a different boy’s face flashes on the screen. This improbable mistake sets Cassia on a dangerous path to the unthinkable--rebelling against the predetermined life Society has in store for her. 

Review:
Well, to start out I want to say that I am a big fan of books that have rebellion against society,(Not that I'm saying that I am a rebellious child who strikes out against law or anything) so when I got this book nothing could separate me from it until I finished. As I was reading the book I was taken by the emotion that the main character Cassia was feeling. I Loved how well thought out this book was. The author did a lot of patching which is where you write what happened and then explain why it happened. As I read, I began to see that the author wasn't just writing a love story, she was also writing a story about a girl who longs for the right to choose what she wants and to be free. This story in my view the moral was it's ok to be unique.
I thought this was a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who is in the youth or young adult range. I can't wait until the next one comes out.

Ratings:1-5 (1 being terrible)(5 being excellent)
Characters:5/5
Overall plot and theme:5/5
Writing style: 4/5
Ending of Book: 5/5
