I am really enjoying the book Matched. I didn`t know what to expect so I went in with zero expectations. I am pleasantly surprised. I am about half way through the book. The story is quite interesting. I wish we would get more background detail about how the Society came to be.
I have started to notice many similarities between the dystopian books I have read lately. Here are a few things I have noticed.
1) The simple clothing. I noticed this in Divergent, Hunger Games and now this book. It seems as though they have eliminated any type of colouring from their clothing (with the exception of the Capitol in Hunger Games).
2) The division of people. In Hunger Games they were divided by career. In Divergent they were separated by personality type. In this book it feels as though they are chosen depending on how good their genes are.
3) The elimination of books and poetry and music. I see that apparent in all three books. It is almost as though these things are expected to affect people negatively so they must be eliminated or severely limited (such as the 100 stories, poems and songs in Matched). I could not imagine being without my books or music.
As I noticed things pop up I will add them to my list but these seems to stand out the most.
