2. Why I chose my book

     I chose the book I just started reading, Reached, first of all simply because it's the next book in a riveting trilogy called Matched, and I really got into it at the first chapter of the first book because of how well-written it was.  It was a very interesting journey that you go on with a young teenage girl named Cassia whom was born into this futuristic society where everything is based on odds, chances; numbers.  They predict everyone's behavior and moods all based on the data they've collected of them and their ancestors through the years they have been in power and that is what helps the Society stay in control of the people: because they know what the people will do (or there's a good chance of it) and can prepare themselves for it.
     The second book in the trilogy, Crossed, I thought was really dragged out for a short number of events.  There was 'a lot going on' in a sense, but most of what was happening was really in Ky's and Cassia's thinking process which made it really hard to get through and enjoy.  I still reached for the third book because I knew that where the storyline had come to,  that the third one would have very interesting twists.  Xander has come into play now in this love triangle (a lot like 'Twilight') and the readers are now aware that he is a part of the Rising; always has been.  It's shocking because we'd never expect that rule-abiding genius kid Xander would have any opposing views, but turns out we don't know as much about him as we thought.  I can't wait to get further in the book and hear what Cassia is going to do next.
