Reached

De: Ally Condie

Narrado por: Jack Riccobono, Kate Simses, Matt Burns

Conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Matched trilogy!

Cassia’s journey began with an error, a momentary glitch in the otherwise perfect façade of the Society. After crossing canyons to break free, she waits, silk and paper smuggled against her skin, ready for the final chapter.

The wait is over.

One young woman has raged against those who threaten to keep away what matters most—family, love, choice. Her quiet revolution is about to explode into full-scale rebellion. With exquisite prose, the emotionally gripping conclusion to the international-bestselling Matched trilogy returns Cassia, Ky, and Xander to the Society to save the one thing they have been denied for so long, the power to choose.

— Ally Condie

interesting

The reading, especially of Ki and Zander were a little over-dramatic. And the overall reading speed was too slow.
However, the story was interesting, and I liked the twist of the sabotaged plague.

Decent.

Not as good as the others. The climax was right at the beginning, and the ending left a bunch of loose ends.

Interesting series

Ally Condie created an interesting visual, perfectly building up character development and excellent description of this dystopian world. In the first of the 3 book series, everyone lives in this “perfect” society with rigid to keep it running that way. But as the series goes on, there’s talk of a pilot leading a rebellious group that might be helpful when an unexpected disease breaks out. How will this perfect society handle it?

Narration is so fantastic!

Some have said they didn't like the female voice. For me, she was perfect for this part. I could have listened to her all day. LOVE her voice. But all three did a great job. Loved them all. This series is great. I enjoyed it very much. In fact, I loved it. So much interesting stuff packed into these books. What I didn't like at all was the music. I see people complain all the time about music in the books, yet they still keep adding it. The third book wasn't as bad, but still annoying. But it only comes up here and there, so don't let that stop you. These are fantastic!

I loved the Series

I am a huge fan of the series. There are a few things I did not enjoy, like some of the repetitive parts ( The Poems). But besides that I felt completely involved with all the characters.

Most Memorable

I love the chapter with Ky breathing. Everyone is struggling to find out what to do and he is just trying to remember to breathe.

Dawson's Creek revisited, but still good

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Sure...I have to disagree with some of the other negative reviews I read, especially the ones advising not to "waste a credit" on this book. This is after all, a series written for a younger audience, so of course the pace is different. I thought the narrators did a nice job, and I disagree with those that felt Ky "whined"....he was deliriously ill after all....

Who was your favorite character and why?

No favorite

Which scene was your favorite?

no favorite

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listen 24/7, over and over, but yes, this one held my interest.

Good, but...

Possible SPOILER:

It was a good book, but I did not like the ending and how it left you not knowing what the vote was. I was very disappointed by that. Other than that I liked it.

Good and bad

The music took away from the story. I hated the added music. As for a YA novel though, It was good and made you think a lot. Makes you thankful for your freedoms in our society. I will definitely read this again and hopefully it will become a move too :) but the music was the worst.

a good 3rd book

Much better than book 2, and a nice way to end the series. Kate Simses rocks. Jack Riccobono as the character Ky is exhausting to listen to. I find myself rolling my eyes whenever he speaks. I think part of it is the performance and part of it is the character of Ky himself. There's only so much whining I can take.
