Matched / Ally Condie

Watch the book trailer!

Based on the concept that it is possible to electronically find your perfect match in life, this book explores a society that has decided that too much choice is likely to cause disruption and social upheaval. It was a great read because it seems so reasonable and successful. It would be so good if the partner of your dreams could be sorted out without you having to go through any of the difficulties that are so common for us. It made me think and has stayed with me for ages. I strongly recommend it!

Who would enjoy this? True love treated in a different way, dawning horror and fear and a sense of betrayal - if this appeals to you, then try this book.

  1. I found this story an easy read and thought provoking. For another take on this subject (very controlling societies thinking they know what is best for your relationships,'Delirium' by Lauren Oliver is also worth a read.
