Except he's not.

In Cassia's society, Officials decide who people love.

And that's when her whole world begins to unravel . . .

At frist it was hard to get into but once you get to know the characters and love them the way that the writer wants you to love them its like you can't put it down. Absolutely enjoyed this book.

Good Book

Kate Simses narrative fits beautifully in with the possible voice of the heroine making listening a pleasure. Ally Condie has created a world where control is key to the very existence of the population, but shows how this is not good for everyone, and how they come to certain conclusions and reactions or capitulation. I bought the book about ten years ago and enjoyed it enough to immediately purchase the other two, which I am looking forward to listening to now. Holding books and finding separate time to read, away from the many other things I could be doing led me to audible. Some narrators and indeed authors are, of course, better than others. Here I award full marks across the board.

Realisation blooms...

the story was good but the music that kept playing was really irritating as well as the drastic voices for the messages and the brother
