In my opinion, I think that the beginning of the book, Matched, was very rushed. Instead of starting at the Match Banquet, I think it should have started at Cassia's home, something other than the banquet. They did not explain a setting which confused me a little bit. In this book, I believe that they also could have explained what the Match Banquet is for rather than just starting at the banquet, and what Cassia called, the compact. In my opinion, the author revealed something things too early and too late in the book. They did not explain the characters very well at first for example, Xander. The author said that Cassia and Xander were best friends already in the book, but that does not explain much. Later in the book, everything started to come together and was much more understanding.

I disagree with Cynthia because though the beginning of the book was very vague, it made the story more intriguing. The author could have started off by saying what the match banquet is and a background on each character but that would ruin the book. The author most likely did not explain thoroughly in the beginning because she wanted to save some excitement for the rest of the book as well. I believe if she had given away all the details at the start, the book would be very boring. However I do agree with you about the compact. It was not well explained and made for some confusion. The author kept using the word "artifact." Even though we all know what an artifact is, we did not know why Cassia had it and what its purpose was. In conclusion I disagree and agree with your statements.
I agree with Brooke. If all the background info was in the beginning of the book we would know what happens and not be interested in the rest of the book.
