In the novel Matched by Allie Condie, everyone's lives are already sorted out. People are assigned who they will be with for the rest of their life and they are even told what to eat. People in the society seem to go along with it though. However, the main character Cassia is ready for her match banquet. This is when she finds out who she is going to be with for the rest of her life. Her best friend Xander is also attending this banquet coincidentally. People are usually matched with someone from a different area. Not a person from the same banquet their at. Cassia is waiting for her match to be shown on the big screen when she soon finds out that her match is her best friend Xander. Allie Condie creates a great beginning of the book. It hooked me in as a reader and wants me to read more of the novel. Being that I'm only a quarter the way into the book, I believe it's great so far. Their are many cliffhangers that leave me in suspense and its great for me because it makes me think. Matched is a great book so far and I can't wait to see what more conflicts and decisions Cassia has to choose or solve!

I agree with DanaC9, I think that all of the characters lives are already sorted out. They don't really have choices of their own to make and that is how the Society wants it. However, the people are blinded by everything in the Society, their lives are all planned out to the age and everyone must follow orders and assignments that they are given. Now one ever rebel's against the Society because they don't believe that they have to. All of their lives, they have to do what they are told, and they believe that they live in a perfect world. However Cassia seems to be the only one who starts to think that this isn't a way to live anymore, everyone should have choices and live their lives how they want to without being controlled all the time.
