Books by Blei: Matched

Matched

by  Ally Condie

Recommended by: Lily P.
Matched, the first book in a trilogy, takes place in the future, in a society that decides your entire life for you: who you love, where you work, and when you die. Cassia Reyes was unusually matched with her best friend, Xander, when most people are matched with someone they don't know from a whole different city. Cassia thinks this is odd enough until she sees another face flash up on her matching screen -- not normal. It's not some random guy either, but a childhood friend, Ky. As she gets to know them both, she develops more feelings for Ky who is not her match; that is against society. Should Cassia follow her feelings and break the rules for Ky, the one she loves? I mean, no one can stop love...right?

This book was: Romantic and action-filled.

Books by Blei: The Monstrumologist

The Monstrumologist

by  Rick Yancy

Recommended by: Jade Y.
Dr. Warthrop and Will Henry are a pair of philosophers and monstrumologists. In 1888, New England, they are persistent to find a killer pod of monsters called Antrhopophagi. Together they plan to search and kill them in the cemetery of New Jerusalem. My favorite part was when they killed the pod of monsters but otherwise the book was really boring. It took forever to get to the main events and hardly had any details. The book lacked excitement.

This book was: Boring, way too long, and lacked excitement.

I would recommend this book to:  People who like a historical touch involving subtle details..

Variant

by  Robison Wells

Recommended by: Jacob N.
Just imagine if you got a scholarship to a school where they serve five-star meals, have no teachers, and on some days just play paintball. Sounds cool, right? That's what 18-year-old Benson Fisher is thinking. But when a mysterious woman drops him off at school in the middle of nowhere, Benson's suspicions arise. Something the school's website forgot to mention was that students are tracked, and every room has cameras. There are also a lot of rules. But there are only three main rules. If you break one of these you get sent to detention, which nobody has ever returned from. There are strict rules, cameras everywhere, and trackers on students. Something else is going on and Benson intends to find out what that is.

This book was: Good!
