“I think of how perhaps the best way to fly would be with hands full of earth, so you always remember where you came from.”
― Ally Condie, Matched
Have you ever wanted your life to be perfect? I know I did until I read the book "Matched" by Ally Condie. This book is a fantasy. It was about a girl named Cassia who lives in a perfect society. This "perfect society" Controlled what and how much she ate, when and how much she exercised, how and when she died, what she wore, and who she would love. Every thing in her life is predicted and controlled. Everyone cassias age (about 18) goes to a match banquet to find out who their perfect match is. “Once you want something, everything changes. Now I want everything. More and more and more.”-Cassia, Ally Condie, Matched. Is that what will happen when Cassia realizes that maybe her world isn't perfect?
I Really enjoyed reading the book "Matched". I liked it because it had Ally used a lot of metaphors, which is my favorite way to write. I would recommend this book to people that have read and like "The Hunger Games" series, because I think that they are a lot alike.

I loved this book so much and I agree that it is like hunger games. Cassie(I guess I should say Ally) is wonderful at explaining things and helping you understand what is going on from her perspective. I would be interested in reading a book from the Society leaders perspective also.
