    "Beautiful Ending..."
    If you could sum up Reached in three words, what would they be?

    Sweet, Tragic, Beautiful


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Reached?

    The Ending for Xander....he deserved it...and his part was played perfectly...


    What about Jack Riccobono’s performance did you like?

    Jack was OK...I do like Ky, but it was played with such angst, and was a little annoying at times.... But he ended on a good note, so it was still decent,,,


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Reach, Reaching, Reached!


    Any additional comments?

    The beginning of this book was sooooo slow! But it picked up in the middle, and the end was just WOW! I cried, it was beautiful and wrapped things up decently...I do think there is room for #4!

    "Disappointing"
    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    It was a little monotonous. I really enjoyed the rest of the series, but the majority of the last book is spent asking "are you the pilot?" Really annoying.


    Would you be willing to try another book from Ally Condie? Why or why not?

    Yes. Overall I liked the series.


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    Yes

    The performance was good and the story a good ending to the trilogy. Out of the three books I liked the first one best.

    "Ending left me wanting..."
    Where does Reached rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    In the middle. I didn't hate it, but I definitely didn't love it.


    What does Jack Riccobono bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    See here's the problem with multiple narrators. Yes it was great to hear Ky and Zander spoken by males. However, Listening to Jack Riccobono using his "Cassia" voice made me want to scream. I had the same problem with Crossed. Very artificial! And it took me a long time to get used to Matt Burns. His voice drove me crazy. I think that as Zander grew and went through so many struggles, his voice improved. However Kate Simses is great. She's one of my favorite narrators. But I will say it was difficult to hear her lovely Ky voice and then hear Jack Riccobono speak. It just didn't work for me. I feel her Ky and Jack's Ky were two different characters.


    Any additional comments?

    The ending left me wanting. I just needed more.

    Would you try another book from Ally Condie and/or Jack Riccobono?

    Yes.


    Any additional comments?

    I liked this series well enough and do not feel like I wasted my credits. The reason I did not rate this third book higher is that it seemed like the author was desparately trying to make a point and, not only did it get preachy at the end, but it went on and on and on with reflection and I just wanted it to end.

    Booring!!

    Disappointment.

    "I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!"
    Would you listen to Reached again? Why?

    I will probably listen to it several times. I have listened to the first two in the series at least twice each and I am really enthralled with this series and this last book was GREAT! I think there should be another book!!


    What did you like best about this story?

    The people in it.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Many scenes were really great. I can't think of just one. Maybe when Ky finally woke up.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    Yes! When the mom woke up.


    Any additional comments?

    Love love love this series!

    "A Wonderful Addition To The Series (Matched)"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    I would and already have recommended this collection of books by Ally Condie. Mostly because its a great story and set sometime in the future. So I recommend this book to people that like the dystopian genre of books.


    What other book might you compare Reached to and why?

    The Hunger Games, Delirium, Divergent, and Enclave. All of these books are dystopian in nature and have a great story lines that are packed full of adventure, rebellion, and love.


    What does Jack Riccobono bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    I liked all 3 of the narrators. They all speak very clear and have calming voices.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Would You Wait For Me?


    Any additional comments?

    This 3rd book of the series Matched was a great end to the trilogy. However, the author did leave it as a possible cliff hanger into a second series of adventure! This book was a little more slow and not as full of adventure as the first 2 books. It however was a treasure trove of information that answered many questions and tied mini story lines together. This was a great book to sit back and relax while listening to these 3 narrators.
