内容説明
Rules are different outside the Society. Chasing down an uncertain future, Cassia makes her way to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky-taken by the Society to his certain death-only to find that he has escaped into the majestic, but treacherous, canyons. On this wild frontier are glimmers of a different life and the enthralling promise of rebellion. But even as Cassia sacrifices everything to reunite with Ky, ingenious surprises from Xander may change the game once again. Narrated from both Cassia's and Ky's points of view, this hotly anticipated sequel to Matched will take them both to the edge of Society, where nothing is as expected and crosses and double crosses make their path more twisted than ever... Incredible sequel to acclamied international bestseller, Matched

A stronger novel than Matched
2011/11/2
形式:ハードカバー
At the risk of unpopularity, I will admit that I was not a huge fan of Matched. It was okay, but my expectations were Hunger Games high, and the book didn't meet them. There was very little tension about the eventual choice that Cassia would make, and yet I really didn't understand her decision.
That said, I thought Crossed was a far stronger novel. In it, Cassia has determined to risk everything in order to find Ky. The story is told in chapters alternating between their two viewpoints, and Crossed is far more action-packed and fast-paced than Matched was. Cassia and Ky are both challenged in ways they have not been previously, and we learn more of who they are as they rise (or fail to rise) to these challenges. Several of the characters from the first novel are off-stage in this one, but new characters are introduced. Unlikely alliances are made. Stakes are raised. Cassia and Ky are growing up fast, and their relationship is both maturing and tested in this book. And while this volume focuses primarily on Cassia and Ky, don't write off Xander. He is still very much a part of the story. I expect we'll see a lot more of him soon.
I was somewhat ambivalent about continuing on to this second book, but I am now looking forward to the conclusion of this trilogy. Condie has done a good job setting up the endgame. With luck, the third will be the best yet.

One word: Awful..
2012/2/18
形式:ハードカバー
Alright the first book in this trilogy was AWESOME, this second book is AWFUL, so that means I will not be geeked up or in a hurry to read the third when it comes out..
The characters, the main characters, Ky, and Cassia, I didn't recognize them at all. The new characters that you will meet here are just as "meh"
The execution of this book, and the events that occured were not interesting, suspensful, nothing.. I mean I did not care about anything that was going on here. The writing was sloppy and choppy. All I cared about was that I reached the end of this book cos I bought it..
There are so many angles leaving off from the first book, that Ms Condie could have taken with this one.. But no, she chose to go another way. It almost felt forced. Like she lost sight of the very people she was writing about. And was stumbling in the dark herself, trying to find them again. The only thing worth finding out in this one, was Xander's place in all of this. And the way this was revealed, wasn't even all that either. Reading this book for me, was like watching paint dry.
I do not want to give anything away with this book for those who have yet to read it. If you are determined to see this trilogy through, then yes I guess you should read it. But if you are expecting to be reunited with those you fell in love with, and grew to care for in the first book, don't expect that with this one. You will be disappointed.
Now because I loved the first book so much I know that I will read the third in this trilogy. But like I said, I just will not be in a hurry to get my hands on it. It will definitely be at the bottom of my "to read" pile.

Characters are developed and more mysteries are revealed .....
2011/11/1
形式:ハードカバー
At the end of Matched, Cassie has discovered that her match with Ky was planned, but does not know by whom. They were purposely put together and watched. Her actions were all predicted ahead of time, and she has fulfilled all that they predicted she would do, including placing Ky in the category for advancement. They knew she was aware that he was smarter than he let on and that human emotions played a part in her decision. We also saw that Xander was not all we had thought, in that he had been jealous of Ky for a while, but would do anything for the love of his life, Cassie. When Cassie told him about Ky's picture on her card, he stated the obvious, "I was there too, Cassie. You only chose to see him". Xander is definitely more than he appears, and just like I wanted Cat to choose Gale in the Hunger Games, I want Cassie to choose Xander.
In Crossed, Cassie has been relocating for months trying to get to the Outer Realms to find Ky. Xander makes a brief appearance at her camp one day (Pick him! Pick him! Pick him!), just before she escapes on an airlift where she is sent to a camp in the Outer Realms where Cassie is determined to find Ky.
Like all dystopias, this one has a message about what happens when a society gives up some freedoms to another group that promises safety. The book makes a good argument that personal freedom of choice is to be preferred over promised safety, and that is why the Rebels give up safety to fight for freedom.
More secrets are revealed about Xander,the Society, Ky's reasons for not wanting to join the Rebels and Cassie's split desires.
Crossed is very compelling and well written but suffers from middle book lack of action. The characters are definitely more developed, but nothing really happens. I, personally hope to see more Xander in book 3(cough, Mrs. Condie, cough!).
Would I/Did I buy it? Yes (ARC)
Would I read it again? Yes
Would I recommend it to friends? Yes
