lit bit: Review: Matched

SO! I sort of started a mini-review on Matched by Ally Condie in the last post, but now I have it finished!
I'm going to write a new type of review for this, called Top Ten Points. TTP. I'm going to write down the 10 Ten points I think you should know about this book. I'm testing this style, so comment if you like this condensed version more than paragraphs! So! Here we go! (:

TTP: Matched by Ally Condie

Matched takes place in a futuristic society that is very different from ours today, but maybe a suggestion as of what our society could someday turn in to?
The main character/narrator is a teenage girl named Cassia.
Even though it's in the future Cassia still has the same emotions and thought processes as modern day teenagers have; the characters are very relateable!
I'm still puzzled that no one in the Society as gone against the society, most likely because they are afraid of the consequences... but still. I kept thinking while reading, how did they switch from modern times to this? Food for thought.
Ally Condie has a beautiful writing style that is very poetic, once the book comes out I'll post my favorite part of the whole book on here.
You will be really confused when you start this book, don't let it discourage you. Or maybe it's just me who was confused. I'm not sure.... but keep reading, it will start to make more sense the more you read!
Reading this book and reading about the restrictions of their Society really made me appreciate our society even though I feel sometimes people go too far with their opinions... (rant). I'm really glad for our freedoms in America. I'm really grateful.
I just realized since my cat was sitting on my lap, there was not one animal or pet in the new Society. Oh my goodness, what a realization. Don't let this affect whether you read it or not if you love animals. It's still really good.
Put this book on your Christmas wish list right now, or just go out and buy it when it comes out.
This book better have a sequel!!!!!!! (:

So there you have it!

Matched comes out Nov. 30, 2010.

I really like this book and I hope all of you will too! (:

So since I finished Matched I was really uncertain what to read next! So I haven't read anything for the past two or three days! Crazy, right? Sometimes you just need a little book break in between reading tons of books diligently. Although I really love getting lost in another world!

So today at work (I work in a bookstore, of course) I started to read Hate List by Jennifer Brown. It's definitely a change of pace for me. It's about a girl who once made a "hate list" with her boyfriend and one day at school her boyfriend decides to try and shoot everyone on the list. It's a very twisted story but is nevertheless very interesting. The main character is very confused because she loved her boyfriend and some blame her because she helped with the list, but she never meant harm to anyone. It's very interesting. I might have to go check it out at the library.
