Book Review: "Crossed" by Ally Condie

Dystopian romance fans will not be disappointed by "Crossed", the second book in Ally Condie's Matched trilogy.  

After Ky is sent to a certain death in the Outer Provinces, Cassia embarks on a dangerous journey to find him, but as she uncovers truths about the Society, her quest turns into something bigger.  She also learns more about Xander, the boy she is supposed to be matched with, making her less certain about her future with Ky.      

Although the futuristic society Ally Condie created is reminiscent of the one in Ray Bradbury's "Farenheit 451", it both plausible and contains many original elements.  The love triangle is also believable, and it is refreshing that the heroine has other things on her mind than just boy troubles.            

I give this book four out of five red tablets.




Who do you think Ally will choose to be with:  Xander or Ky?  Who do you think the Pilot is?  Do you think the Rising can be trusted?  Please share your thoughts.
