Director's Review- Matched by Ally Condie
"Matched" is the first installment of Ally Condie's best selling "Matched" trilogy. While the series, as a whole, has been wildly popular, I just couldn't get into this one. After reading the synopsis, it sounded so promising, as did the first several chapters, but approximately half-way through the story, my interest started to wane. Nothing really seemed to be happening, and the love story between Cassia and Ky, which basically became the entire focus of the story, had no basis or explanation other than "insta-love" to make it believable.
However, despite this, I enjoyed the disturbing post apocalyptic world Condie created. I was both interested and disgusted at different points throughout the book, especially in regards to the storyline of Cassia's grandfather and the society's elder population.

Harry Potter's World: Renaissance Science, Magic, and Medicine

The six-panel exhibition explores the world of Harry
Potter and its roots in Renaissance magic, science, and medicine. Among the
sections covered are potions, immortality, fantastic beasts, monsters, magical
creatures and herbology.
In 1997, British author J. K. Rowling introduced the
world to Harry Potter and a literary phenomenon was born. Millions of readers
have followed Harry to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he
discovers his heritage, encounters new plants and animals, and perfects his
magical abilities.
Although a fantasy story, the magic in the Harry Potter books
is partially based on Renaissance traditions that played an important role in
the development of Western science, including alchemy, astrology, and natural
philosophy.
The exhibition, which is brought to you by the National
Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, runs from Monday, November
21 through Friday, January 6 and is open during library hours. It is free and
open to the public.
For more information, contact the SCCC Library at (620)
417-1160.
