The son of the town’s founder, Oscar earns straight As, is student-body president, and is in demand for every club and cause. But Oscar has a secret. He knows that parents bring their teens to Candor to make them respectful, compliant—perfect—through subliminal Messages that carefully correct and control their behavior. And Oscar’s built a business sabotaging his father’s scheme with Messages of his own, getting his clients out before they’re turned. After all, who would ever suspect the perfect Oscar Banks? Then he meets Nia, the girl he can’t stand to see changed. Saving Nia means losing her forever. Keeping her in Candor, Oscar risks exposure . . . and more.Rating About Books Candor

Like many other people, I jumped onto this book because of the plot. I mean, the concept sounded amazing, so interesting and unique.The only problem: everything else was so bland.Now, don't get me wrong. It seems like I have very high standards when it comes to dystopian novels. And it's not like this book was so terrible it deserves to be burnt. It was just... nothing.The characters were mlehh, the writing was too simple and also mlehh, and the book was just mlehh.I do admit when I finished the2.5 StarsI don't really read dystopian. In fact, the only science fiction book I've ever read was The Divergent Series (and I haven't even read Allegiant yet) LOLTo my surprise, I actually enjoy reading this book. Maybe I really should read dystopian books more often.For someone who has a very poor imagination and too-realistic like me, this book really captivated me. I could follow the plot easily without kept asking my self "how could that happen?! It's too unrealistic to happen in real life"
What. I read all that for this? What.
I thought that the premise was interesting, but Oscar wasn't that much.When Nia comes into his life, everything changes. And that exactly was what made me not like the story more.Although I think that the ending was executed pretty well. I liked that one a lot.I think that this would be great movie material, but as a novel it just was okay.
Such a pointless read!For me, this book went absolutely nowhere just one big pointless circle. I seriously don't understand how this book got so many 4 or 5 star ratings!When I was on the first few pages, I must admit I was very intrigued. I was also captivated by the idea of subliminal messages being sent to control everyone. I also liked the parts where Oscar falls in love with Nia and decides he wants more from life than Candor can offer. The narrative and plot were intriguing and there was a
Wow, I've been reading a lot of great books lately and this one was no exception. Candor was an amazing read. I read it pretty quickly, too. It reminded me a bit of Uglies by Scott Westerfeld and The Giver by Lois Lowery. The first thing that captured me was the line on the back cover: "Stepford makes the perfect wife, but Candor teens are changed for life." Now anyone who has read or seen the movie, The Stepford Wives, knows exactly how scary this quote is. I was hooked from the first chapter
