I’d heard about this as being a good read, and then I’d heard it was shallow, so I’d struck it from the list. But then I got sucked into a buddy-read with my daughter who was every bit as horrified as I was at such a cheesy way of choosing a princess, but also, totally gripped by the twists and turn...

Read This Review & More Like It At Ageless Pages Reviews This is a rather infamous book and I feel I need to start with a disclaimer. I really wanted to read The Selection when it first came out. The cover is a knock-out; my favorite "pretty dress" cover ever. I have a (not) secret love of dating ...

First of all I love the cover of this book series. I knew once I read what this book was about that it was a book for me. Princes, princesses and love stories just a few of my favorite things. I also am a huge a fan of reality TV so I really enjoyed the whole selection process (similar to The Bachel...

I can't even finish this book.. First the names of the characters are killing me! America Singer? Really that is the best you can come up with? Secondly I just got to the part with lovely prince Maxon and he legit makes my want to vomit. This girl just told him she basically hated him and was only t...

I finally took the plunge and read The Selection. I was resigned to the fact that I would probably have the urge to inflict pain upon myself while reading this book. Fortunately, I was plagued by fits of hysterical laughter instead. Forget the bad dialogue, lack of characterization, corny characte...

This review and more at Sab The Book EaterFirst things first! I think it's highly unfair for this book to be shelved under 'dystopia' in Goodreads. It's misleading, people. I can't blame them though. This book does sound like a dystopian novel. It's set post Fourth World War in a new country called ...

(As reviewed on my blog, Paper Riot.)This is by far the most difficult review I've ever written. I know I say that a lot, but this time, it's 100% true. As a fan of cute stories and fairy tale-esque settings, The Selection sounded like a book I would fully enjoy. And though I definitely ended up enj...

The Bachelor meets Everafter I liked the setup of this story, America Singer is wrong in almost every way her caste is wrong, her heart has already been taken, her very name is wrong which makes her perfect for Prince Maxon. After being manipulated into signing up for the selection thinking there ...

The Selection by Kiera Cass is a dystopian book I fell in love with!Backstory:This world is set various years in the future and we are told the U.S. was in serious debt to the Chinese. The Chinese got tired of waiting for their money, so they attacked the U.S. and took over. While in a transition st...
