For this review I will only be talking about the first three Selection novels by Kiera Cass that follow the story of America and Maxon, reviewing the characters and then the story-line, ending with what I did and didn't enjoy about the trilogy. I purchased the complete series through Scholastic Book...
It made me want to read the next book to see what happens next but I really dislike America and all her indecisiveness (especially in her “love life”) and don’t care at all for both of the love interests. I still willingly read all the words and turned all the pages and tried to find the next book t...
I've been sitting on this book for three weeks. Tomorrow I have to return it to the library. I guess it was time to read it. This was definitely not as good as the first book. Actually, it was quite an aggravating read. America turned out to be a hypocrite, Aspen was a manipulative ass, and Maxon, w...
In The Selection, the girls fighting for Prince Maxon’s heart started with thirty-five girls. In this book, it’s only down to six girls called the “Elite”, hence the book title “The Elite.” I had mixed emotions reading this sequel but the one that stood out was annoyance. Yup. America got on my ne...
So, in this book, I have decided I prefer Maxon to Aspen. Aspen has begun to remind me of Gale from The Hunger Games . Not that I totally dislike Gale or Aspen... But they share negative qualities that make me root for their rivals. And the fact that Aspen didn't believe America could be a princess ...
I don't understand myself. Everything is infuriatingly childish and there were so many silly situations, I kept rolling my eyes constantly. But I couldn't stop reading, I was and still am interested in knowing what's going to happen next, so I will be continuing with the series. Three stars? My brai...
Another fun topic to discuss from this: ethics: how far is one willing to go in order to help one’s family? one’s friends? one’s nation? It’s not as though there is a single correct answer, and in the series you get a muddle of incentives along with coercion. borrowed copy
I am becoming obsessed with this series. The Elite was a fantastic installment. I was hooked from the first page and I could not put it down. I read the entire book in one sitting. This book took me on a roller coaster ride. I felt so many emotions while reading this. I was sad, happy, confuse...
This novel of The Selection, had me amazed of how, there were 35 girls and after a while there was 6 girls left. The competition to win Prince Maxon's love, is like a fiercer competitive little "game". I think that the novel was not predicting it left me wanting to read more. The Elite was surprisin...
