Bought this one today, can’t wait to read it!
I read Delirium by Lauren Oliver and then read Matched and could not get into it. I kept comparing the two because the plots were similar and I must admit I liked Delirium so much better. Matched didn’t seem to flow very well to me, and I thought it was slow. I have heard great comments on the other books in the Matched series, though, so maybe I’ll give them a try.
This is definitely a character-driven story and I loved seeing how all 3 main characters changed and grew. At times, the discussion of the plague and more scientific aspects of the story felt a bit cumbersome, but overall a wonderful book with such poetic writing!
