Review:
I'm reading this book for three reasons. One, I really like Matched. Two, I wanted to see Ky's piont of view and third, I wanted to see why people didn't like this book.
Before the book starts there's a note from Allie saying that most of this is in Ky's veiw and I got excited by how she was going to do it and the on the first chapter was Ky's perspective of veiw it was strange but I still thought Cassia's point of view is better.
The only thing that kept me reading this book was 1) I wanted to know what happens in this book and 2) I needed to know what happens to read the third book.
When I read Crossed it sounds as if I'm reading poetry and if you don't know I don't really like reading poetry; it's complicated and confusing. I like to read fiction! Crossed does have some parts of Matched. How Classia and Ky describe the Society, for example. Which I did like because I wanted to know wha the Society was going to do about Cassia and Ky.
I kept on skipping paragraphs and let me tell you I didn't do it it in excitement, I did it in boredom and I wanted to get to the good bits.
However, after reading the first few chapters I got used to Ally's style of writing and it also started to make sense, although, I still skipped paragraphs to finish this book-not in excitement. Xandra, Cassia's match, is still after her. Which confused me because I thought Classic was all for Ky and Ky for Classia. This girl, Indie, is frustrating I tell you! she hits on Ky and then she likes Xander and i'm like Hello? Weren't you Just hitting on Ky?!
Things I liked In this book was the blue tablets. Someone told Ky that the blue tablets make you weak and then you die and I was like 'oh my god! Does Cassia know?!'. Then, on the next chapter which was Cassia's pov, she went to a museum and asked for information. You know throne where you say I want information and then they give you what they want-which, by the way, I want to do someday. But for some reason she gives away Ky's precious artifact and I was like 'Nooo! What are you doing girl?! Why didn't you give that stupid blue tablet that that stupid Xandra gave you!' However, I liked it that way, because at least we have some drama in this book.
My rating:
Only tea? No snacks or biscuits?!
(2.5,really.)
