Crossed by Ally Condie


TITLE:  Crossed
AUTHOR:  Condie, Ally
GENRE:  Fiction/Fantasy
MY RATING:  4.5/5
DATE FINISHED: 12/29/2011

To begin with, I would like to say how ashamed I am that it took me over a month to finish this book.  However, if you really added up only that days I actually read, I read it in under a week.  I suppose the knitting projects proved a little too much for me.  During the Christmas/birthday season I received a few excellent book choices so I figured I'd better get my tushy in gear.  Now, back to the review at hand.

I must say, I loved Crossed much more than Condie's first novel, Matched.  The characters became more developed.  It was nice to move further from the dystopian society, and more into places where the characters could make decisions for themselves.  I enjoyed Cassia's written company far more than in the first book.

The one gripe I had for this novel was the constant switching back and forth between the two character's points of view.  There were times where I would have to flip back to see who was dictating a chapter (because the character's voices were so similar).  Other than that, it was very fun to read.

On to a birthday present for my next book!
