I really loved it. Read it straight through. I have two other books I am reading right now, but those stories got set aside for this one. 
 This book requires your imagination and I love that. Such a sweet, passionate book. I love when a story makes me appreciate things in my everyday life a little more and Matched made me think about books and poems with even more love than I normally have. 
 Well worth the time to read and I am looking forward to the sequel.
