I didn't like Crossed. At all. 
 It was pretty disappointing, and it felt like the whole book was filler. I was so bored reading it, and I kept waiting for something to happen. Matched was so promising, and I was hoping that a lot of the questions I had at the end of it would be answered. Sadly, they weren't. In fact, I have even more questions. I highly doubt any questions I have will be answered in the next book...which I might (or might not) read. 
 The poetry was irritating, and I kept waiting for it to stop. Did Condie want us to know she really likes poetry by throwing it in a lot? 
 Not only that, I just couldn't care about anything. Xander's secret? Don't care that he has one and that it's not Ky's place to reveal it to Cassia. Why bother mentioning it if no one's going to tell Cassia or if Xander isn't around to mention it? 
 The narration didn't work for me- it's told by Ky and Cassia, who sound exactly the same. 
 I have to give it a 1 out of 5. It was really disappointing, and it felt like Condie didn't care about what happened to her characters.
