I do not know who came up with this term for The Selection
but it fits it completely. It has been described as if The Hunger Games and The
Bachelor had a lovechild it would be this book. It is so freaking amazing.
I did a little happy dance when I found it and it ended with me
frustrated.
To beginning to end this book had me. I could not put it down;
I wanted to come up with an excuse not to go to work just so I could read this
book from cover to cover. It was beautifully written, the story fell into
place. I clung to every word; I did not want to miss anything this book had to
offer.
This cover is gorgeous. I love the color of her dress on the
cover. I want to paint a room in my house that color so I can keep thinking
about this book. My boyfriend informed me we have no rooms to paint right now
but I do have a basement so I might get my way. Possibly eventually when I work
up the courage to finish my basement.
I think my favourite part of the book besides the great
story was the amazing characters; they all moved me in a different way. In the beginning
I loved Aspen. I thought he was selfless and completely delicious. I lost a little love for him once America met
Maxton. I feel bad but he just was not
as good as before. America was a strong character from the beginning, as always
she grew more into her character as the book progressed but she was pretty set
in her ways when the story began. I loved the different relationships she had
with everyone from Aspen to her family.
She adapted to new situations well, she made mistakes along the way but
she seemed to learn from them. She was unique and she did not let the selection change who she was. I could not completely review this book without a little swoon
for Prince Maxon. Oh he is amazing. He
is essentially “the bachelor” who gets to choose one of the thirty- five eligible
girls to be his wife. He is resourceful
and smart. He keeps his options open and seems to know what he wants. He was an impressive character and I cannot
wait to see more of him.
I feel like I am going to explode if I do not get my hands
on the next book, why did she have to end it like that. Why?!?! I am so tormented;
I need to know what happens. Speculation is not doing much for me. I need to
know what is happening with Maxon and America and Aspen. I thought it would be a neatly wrapped up
ending which is was not at all. I would
have loved it if I had the next book in hand which sadly I do not.
Read this book, it is so good, and if you’re like me and try
to sneak books into the cart while out grocery shopping this book is already
out in soft cover which is super awesome for your pocket book.
Leave a comment below of what you think of this book, I would love to know.
