Matched and Hunger Games

This book is a real page turner.  First of three: Hunger Games, Catching Fire and finally Mocking Jay.  A controlling socity bent on punishing those who dared to rebell by forcing a sacrifice of two children from their differnt districts to fight to the death on live TV.  Katnis is the hero of our story.  All I know is I had to read it start to finish in one day it was so good I couldn't put it down.



MatchedIf you liked The Hunger Games then you will enjoy Matched.  When you are 17 the government tells you who has been selected for your mate.  Its a futuristic society, where everything is controlled from food and the plants that are grown in your neighborhood to where you work and when you die.  Cassie is assigned her childhood friend, Xavier as a match and as she views his image on her digital chip, his face dissolves into another, that of Ky.  Ky is an aberration, one who is not to be matched.  What is going on?  By the time you get to the end, the more you know the more dangerous it gets.
