Still, I will check this one out, although I've heard that it too is very slow moving at times. <br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it! :)Leanna Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156147175772720617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-22031353258985436662011-10-11T19:16:00.808-04:002011-10-11T19:16:00.808-04:00Mrs Q- I agree!

I hadn't read any reviews of it but I was aware of the hype/buzz and so I finally got around to reading it. now I'm going straight to my sales rep to request a comp copy of Crossed now. <br /><br />But I'm bummed that you say it's such a cliffhanger!As the Crowe Flies and Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110661562901480120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-11563363328005563642011-10-11T11:56:28.789-04:002011-10-11T11:56:28.789-04:00So good but not as good.

I had trouble getting into this one for that very reason, but once they finally found one another again I remembered why I loved Matched so much:) Definitely looking forward to the next book!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-53195532646395263832011-10-11T09:24:53.302-04:002011-10-11T09:24:53.302-04:00I think you really got it right with this review o...I think you really got it right with this review of Crossed. It isn't quite up to the level of Matched but it is still good. I did like reading the chapters with Ky (at times I preferred them to Cassia's chapters). I agree that it was really interesting to find out more about life outside the Society and that there is a rebellion going on. I also kept wondering if the place they were hiding in was the Grand Canyon.<br /><br />I wish I'd spent more time enjoying the poetry and symbolism too. I think I read too quickly because I was reading for an ARC tour.
