Ally Condie talks about Matched and the sequel Crossed (video)

[BrianaAdina]

Hmmm im not sure who i like more..xander or ky! ..i think ky just because i know what cassia thinks.

[MegaTDC2010]

So team Ky

[Freakinout14]

Screw team jacob or Edward! Team Ky or Xander! I'm team Ky :)

[bananaattack3153]

Personly Idk who I like batter Ky or Xander they are both so sweet like Ally said I like both ^_^

[mattezh92]

Ally says cass-ee-ah.. She just says it fast. Try saying Cassia fast without slowing down your sentence.

[PiinkCandi]

Team Ky <3 <3

[koolcupcake27]

KY WINS HER SO TEAM KY AND KY SOUNDS SO HOT!!!!

[TheMissVeggie]

Mein Lieblings Buch :3

I love Matched and Crossed :-D i want MOREEEEEEEEEEEEE

[h0906304]

TEAM XANDER!! HE SOUNDS HOT!

[01Stella0123]

@lovelypacific I totally agree with you and I think they shouldn't even make as the movie unless they can be spot on with everyone and everything (which i doubt will happen D:)

[01Stella0123]

I love these books! I read both of them in one day because I couldn't stop reading it! They are wonderful books and I think everyone should read them. I feel so bad for Ky because of everything he has been through. I think the story is better from Kys' point of view. But I do feel bad for Xander how Cassia would just do that to him. But overall great books and hoping there is a third book!

[honzM11]

I have the book and haven't read the whole think cuz m currently readin peeps by scott westerfeld xD can't wait! haha

[TheJohnnycadelover1]

I wanna read the book CROSSED -.- poor Xander ...

[JessTHG]

So cassia is pronunced like Kesha? LOL

[Abdu7b]

I didn't know it was pronounced Casha. I don't think anyone did

[iloveh2omermaids]

@Abdu7b i thought it was cass-ee-ah too. i think it sounds better than casha... i'm still going to say cass-ee-ah!!

[Abdu7b]

@iloveh2omermaids Me too LOL. BTW I love H2O mermaids as well. My favourite was Rikki in season 1 and 2 but then I didn't like her in Season 3. Well I didn't like season 3 much at all, because the tails were a different colour, the moon pool looked like it was indoors, and the whole plot of mermaids saving the world was kind of messed up. Plus, I missed Emma, I wish instead they would've just recast her not get rid of her.

[Rockyrocks2112]

The book is so amazing. A must read. Crossed was amazing as well, if not better. I luv it!! Thank you Ally! I am doing a book project right now on that book. Amazing. And I choose. Ky. Ky. Ky. Ky. <3

[MySuperstar3000]

Zoakiss yes if in the last book they dont end up together I'm going to be sooooo mad

[krazykasskass]

My name is Kassia, and I don't pronounce it Kash-a or Kass-ee-uh. I pronounce it Kuh-see-uh. Think what you must, but I like my pronunciation is better.

[Rockyrocks2112]

@krazykasskass Omg- so do I!!! I always said it in my head when I read the book! Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks that. :D I like that pronunciation better as well and continue using it. Lol. :D

[Romancechica1013]

Btw... TEAM KY!!!!!!

[Romancechica1013]

i can't wait for the third book!!!!!! i finished matched a few weeks ago, i'm working on crossed right now. i really want to know what the next color and picture will look like. i can't wait to find out if the movie idea is true

[catlin9971]

Is there going 2 b a 3rd book? I just finished matched and I LOVED IT! so after I read crossed I hope there's a 3rd book TEAM KY!

[iloveuncharted328]

@catlin9971 yah if its a trilogoy it means it has 3 so yes there wull be three books

[iloveh2omermaids]

@catlin9971 don't EVEN start the stupid team thing! this is not twilight, it's far and above that crap. there are no teams, there are just characters.

[rEdAnDbLuE0101]

Team Ky!!!!!

[sunshineandpeace1996]

hmm... i've been thinking that cassia would be pronounced cass-ee-ah and ky kei

somehow i like my way of pronunciation more :DDD you know when i hear casha it reminds me of kesha and somehow i dont know the name would lose its special feeling (you know what i mean) anyway i like cass-eeh.ah better xD

[jorie0203]

Its such a good book I finished it a few weeks ago and can't wait till I get crossed for christmas.

[Zoakiss]

I <3 KY MARKHAM

[MySuperstar3000]

KY ALL THE WAY OH YEAH!!!!!!

[Zoakiss]

@MySuperstar3000 oh yeah i so agree with you



[thalia268]

I was stunned when I heard Cassia's name pronounced "Casha." I've been saying it "Cass-i-a," and i know a lot of people say it "Cass-ee-ah." Either one suits her, but "Casha?" Uh-uh. Love the book though!!!!!! It's rivaling Hunger Games as my favorite trilogy. Can't wait to see how she finishes it off!!!!!

[lovelypacific]

Good news: they're making a movie

Bad news: Disney's making the movie

if you dont think that's Bad news, think about it. it's just like how Summit entertainment took the rights to make Twilight from paramount pictures and in my opinion, made it absolutely crap with horrible actors and everything (*coughcough* kristen stewart *coughcough*) i just hope they don't use selena gomez as cassie (nothing against her) or zack and cody as ky and xander. kay, maybe im taking it too far, but still...

[DreamyChandraSings]

I like Xander way better... I've got this pet peeve of people who interfere with stuff. It just really annoys me. I mean Xander rly loved cassia so I think she should be with him! I'm not finished with the book but it looks like cassia ends up with Ky :( I understand the book probably won't be as intertwining without Ky, but I just like Xander so much better... Besides, I'm a sucker for blue eyes :)

[14randomvids]

ummm... "casha"? I'm still going to pronounce it "cass-ee-uh" :)

[MysteryPurpleRose28]

I thought It was pronounced Cass-ee-ah. 'casha'?

[Andthatswhathappened]

Loved the book <3 Except Ky stole my name... And I'm a girl.

[gymnasticsrocks0]

KY! :)

[gymnasticsrocks0]

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[mc0219]

are they making a movie???? they better!

[Rugabee]

now i wonder wat her husband looks like...

[MultiPearl007]

the covers are so cool :)

[Truthless101]

Question for author: Do you see 'Matched' as a feminist book?

[natta444]

i CANNOT wait til this book is out, i really want to know what happens next, it's such a great story and i think it has a realistic 'future' like the way the government controls everything, it was sooo frustrating i wanted to be cassia and just rebel to those annoying officials! the next book will be amazing i just know it :D

[hunaizauzumaki]

feel bad for Xander but I think Ky and Cassia were meant to be together

[vickycara]

Thumbs-up if you thought Xander's name was pronounced ex-and-er.

[jimmyloverforever1]

@vickycara my brothers name is Zander, based off of a kid named Xander but pronounced the same... thats how i knew it was xander like "zan-der". (: but i can see where youre coming from. i thought cassia was "cas-ee-uh" lol

[vickycara]

Thumbs-up if you thought it Cassia's name was pronounced cass-ee-ah.

[bubblegrl8]

i think its funny hows she's like "it cassia's desicion" and im like but your writing the book so its actually yours! im glad im not the only one who thought it was pronounced cass-ee-ah. i like xander way better. i dont really know why i just do.

[Dinosaurchickmeg]

I love the book. Even though i have not finished it(: I cant wait to read the other one. I LOVE the title, picture, and color. I love it so much. The only problem i have with it, it says she isnt going with society, which means she will end up with Ky, because its not "normal" i am happy to now know, that Xander and Ky are equal. I lovee Xander because he was there first...but i also love Ky. I love her name and description. I just hope the second book is just as good as the first.

[kgirl998]

Ugh, I just couldn't stand this book. I was so excited when I bought it, because I'm a big THG fan, and I litterally didn't feel like finishing it---but I managed. It just irritated me that she didn't like Xander, and what really bugged me is that she didn't know what pie was?? And they could NEVER say something was because of "luck". If I lived in that world--with NO freedom at all--I'd probably try to kill myself, or go mad.

[AlicetheShort]

I love how it's a love story with a very strong theme. 

[Musiclover7ize]

Those r the first two books I thought of too!!! The hunger games and the giver!!! Love them all!!!!!

[1ndianarose]

I never knew her name was pronounced Casha...not Cass-ee-ah. That's trippy. But cool, I think it's unique. Ohmygosh, I love Ky! Xander is amazing too, but Ky is incredible (sorry to anyone who likes Xander better.) I'm definately sailing the Ky boat, though. And the fact that it's going to be written in his POV! :O I'm so pumped! Arghh. I can't wait! I love Ky! I can't wait to read Ky and Cassia's reunion! It'll be so sweet...he better not get hurt in the war, though. Poor Ky. And poor Xander :(

[1ndianarose]

[brisamandalyssa]

Whattttt? I always thought Cassia's name was pronounced Cass-e-ah Not Casha...wow weird

But I Loooooooovvve Ky! The first half of the book I was so for Xander but then after Ky and Cassia got partnered up for hiking and started talking I knew Ky was the one I liked best(:

[princessswagger123]

@brisamandalyssa I know, I thought Cass-ee-ah was her name and it sounds way better. OH, and I love Ky! I love his blue eyes and his mysterious character in the book and I think Xander is okay, but Ky is way more interesting. Cassia should know Ky a lot more better! ^V^

[ForeverLittleMiss]

I love Ky!

[13jellybeans]

team ky. :)

[DreamGirl1297]

Cassia sounds like KESHA.

[sunsettiger]

I had no idea you were supposed to pronounce Cassia like Casha, but it makes it interesting. Awesome book! You rock Allie!!

[leeanna13097]

Dude. In Ky's perspective? AHHHHH. I'm even more stoked for the book now. I wonder if the third will include Xander's POV then.... That might be slightly depressing to hear his thoughts on Cassia and Ky and everything happening. I hope he finds a happy ending though. (Not saying Cassia won't eventually pick Xander, but to me it doesn't look like she will. But I dunno, for all I know Ally Condie plans on murdering all the characters in the end. Let's hope to god she doesn't though.)

[katieshines21]

I feel bad for Xander and how Cassia (IT'S PRONOUNCED CASHA? WTF) gave him the news, but I'm Team Ky.

Also, I'm really trippin' now that I know Crossed is written in Ky's POV. That will be so interesting to read.

[LoriBMD]

i love ky, and xander. but i prefer ky

[tldalaba]

found out I'd been pronouncing Cassia's name wrong in my head. :P I always pronouced it like Cassie. but with an a added on the end. She pronounces it like. Casha. Interesting.

[KCproductions101]

team Xander! I hate ky:P

[Tahonamaya]

Team Ky all the way! WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[sheracef]

<3 looveee this boook !!!!

[nikolinka018]

Ky's POV in Crossed wooooo! ^^

[AngelFallen0]

so both book have different characters i didn't know that i am going to read the books then.

[Tahonamaya]

@AngelFallen0 No, they have the same characters, in book 1, POV of Cassia, book 2, POV of Cassia AND Ky.



[tldalaba]

@AngelFallen0 she says it'll have Ky's point of view AS WELL AS Cassia's. Most likely meaning it will go back and forth between their points of view which is very common.
