I've read a lot of negative reviews on Crossed but I have to disagree with them. This book is a personal journey of Ky and Cassia together and as individuals. It is more subdued than Matched because the story in Crossed was more of a story of personal development I believe. I love really getting to know these characters. Ky's meloncholy is almost tangible.
The book is so well written the reader can feel the emotions of the characters. We are accompanying them on their journey, experiencing what they are experiencing, feeling what they are feeling.
Once again, LOVED IT!

Of what I did read, I didn't really like. There wasn't anything wrong with it, it just wasn't my style. However Jenny you made it sound really good so I might have to read it again. ;)


I read Matched and thought it was just ok so I wasn't planning on reading Crossed until one day I had nothing else to read and my friend had just finished it and said it was really good and that I HAD to read it, but then she liked Matched more than I did. So I checked it out of the middle school library and started it that night. To be honest when I picked it up I read the first 2 pages and suddenly decided that I really did not feel like reading it so therefore I put it down, returned the book, and I don't think I'm going to plan to read the next book.


NOTHING HAPPENED!!
IT WAS SOOOOOOOO BORING!
I was actually counting down the pages!
I hope the next book will be better...




I've read a lot o..."
I'm soryy, but only like 1/4 of the book was about their journey. I DID like that we got KY's point of view. The thing was that Cassia went through all the trouble getting to Ky. WHEN SHE FINALLY DOES--she wants to go to the Rising (with or without Ky) Ky, of course, HAD to follow Cassia 'cuz he loves her. They then GET SEPARATED AGAIN and she's like "I know we'll see other again"
I couldn't BELIEVE IT. It almost made me not read REACHED. Almost, REACHED was waaay better.(probably like it better because Indie died, that annoying idiot)
