Book review: Matched by Ally Condie

Title :  Matched 
Author :  Ally  Condie 
Release : Published November 30th 2010
pages  366
publisher : by Dutton Juvenile
summary : 

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.

The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

Review:  
Matched  is  about  a  society   that  they choose  for  you  they  choose  who you  marry  what  you  eat where  you work when you die when  Cassia  turns  sixteen  they  have to be  matched  when  Cassia  gets  matched  with  her  best friend  Xander  they  don't  expect it   but  when   Cassia  gets  home  and put's  Xander's  card in  she  sees  a flash of  someone    else's  face  it  was  Ky Markham  an  Aberration  from the  outer   provinces    when  Cassia  starts  to get to know  Ky  she  starts to fall  for him  but  Xander's  her  match she doesn't understand and her  grandfather is dead  and leaves her  a poem  in her compact  so Cassia  has to  figure out if the  society  is worth it  should she just  fallow her  heart or  just  just  fallow orders.

Publisher : Hyperion Book CH
Summary : Some secrets shouldn't be kept...

Up until three months ago, everything in sixteen-year-old Camelia’s life had been fairly ordinary: decent grades; an okay relationship with her parents; and a pretty cool part-time job at the art studio downtown. But when Ben, the mysterious new guy, starts junior year at her high school, Camelia’s life becomes anything but ordinary.

Rumored to be somehow responsible for his ex-girlfriend’s accidental death, Ben is immediately ostracized by everyone on campus. Except for Camelia.

But soon, Camelia is receiving eerie phone calls and strange packages with threatening notes. Ben insists she is in danger, and that he can help—but can he be trusted? She knows he's hiding something... but he's not the only one with a secret.

book review: City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

Title:  City of  Glass
Author :  Cassandra  Clare
Release date:  March  24,  2009
Pages:  541
Publisher : Walker  books 
Summary : To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters -- never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight. 

As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadow-hunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadow-hunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her new found powers to help save the Glass City -- whatever the cost?
