This book is like those little sachets of Nutella you get as free samples with like a magazine or a packet of Ritz or something, in that it s empty calories lite but seriously delicious It s really small and really bad for you and not really that satisfying but shit if you don t enjoy it Because, no matter how superior you think your tastes are, you will enjoy this Even just on a voyeuristic level You just have to forget all of the stuff you know Like, all of it Forget what you learned in civics [...]

Reaction before reading this book I know I may be a sucker for falling for this cover, but look at it I totally want to go to that party.Reaction after reading this book I no longer want to go to this party.Full disclosure I did not read this entire book I took notes for the first 88 pages, read to page 168, and then skimmed the rest I think reading than half the book qualifies as giving it a fair shot.The Selection arrives with a gorgeous cover and interesting premise What if a lottery allowed [...]

I know, I know, I probably shouldn t have read this But when a series gets to be this popular, I can t help needing to know why I have friends who LOVED this and friends who HATED it, so I had to see for myself.Firstly, the names Okay, I d already made peace with America Singer before going into this book I knew that was her name, I knew it was silly, but whatever, it does not maketh or breaketh a book But I didn t know that America Singer was wait, it s too good a singer Honestly, why did the a [...]

If you can get past the I m smelling my armpit cover, and also the silly names, and the horribly unoriginal storyline, and the terrible writing wait, really, you can get past all of that What does that leave you then A nice font Seriously, though, read reviews for this one They re not favorable for a reason.

NOTE This review was not affected by online drama or controversy Everything I have to say here is based on my own personal opinion about the book itself, even though I definitely think Cass needs a new publicist NOTE 2 All the captions in the non animated picture memes were made by me because, you know, I m just THAT brilliantly witty So please don t use them without asking my permission first Thanks 35 GIRLS 1 CROWN THE COMPETITION OF A LIFETIME.Now with a story premise like that, honestly I t [...]

I read this book for one reason To find out why it s a New York Times Best selling series After drinking several beers and banging my head against the wall after reading The Selection, I can kinda see why And to be fair, it s probably not the absolute worst book I ve read I mean, there s still that time I read Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini Still, it is by no means something that I d recommend.I know it might seem like I detested The Selection based on my status updates, but to be perfectly h [...]

An ARC was provided by HarperTeen in exchange for an honest review I don t usually go for books like this one, with the whole princess competition thing going on actually I ve never even started one because they don t look good , but let me tell you, this book is amazing.I loved it That s all I can say It went right into the story, and I was hooked from page one I just couldn t stop reading The plot was AMAZING I loved how Kiera Cass manipulated the characters Aspen to make America sign up, and [...]

To start off, I will say that I liked this book that I thought I would I was originally looking for a book for a reading challenge needed blue covers and just happened to see this at the library and figured it didn t look too bad and that I would just read it since nothing else was working I have now read this three times since it came out It has yet to tire for me.It is hard to explain why I like it It is a true guilty pleasure, fluffy kind or read with a hint of action and intrigue for future [...]

Did not finish stopped at page 208.I could not get behind America who is suffering from an affliction called TSTL syndrome too stupid to live Her choices seem robotic and awkward, her dialogue and self deprication feel desperate and forced None of the other characters rise to the occasion of acting realistically, either Besides that, and a serious lack of world building, The Selection is to The Hunger Games as Carrier of the Mark is to Twilight That is to say an apparent knock off Gavril and Cae [...]

The best chocolate chip cookies I ve ever had are full of delicious, bad for you ingredients, are only 3 and I often find myself devouring almost an entire packet in one sitting despite knowing I probably shouldn t eat that many cookies But, I can t help it, I just enjoy them so much The Selection is a bit like that It s cheap, nasty and has everything I could possibly hate in literature, yet I found myself addicted and it was so much fun I still stand by my opinion that the controversy surround [...]

NOTE I want to remind readers that it is important to give all books a fair chance despite negative reviews and the author or their agent opening their mouth when they shouldn t That being said, I have nothing personal against Kiera Cass and she seems like a lovely human being, but I really did not like this book See linked article for agent s involvement in unpaid reviewer controversy.Sentence I sentence Kiera Cass to a season of The Bachelor in which everyone is selected to be dropped off on a [...]

It wasn t a bad book, it really wasn t Had i read this two or three years ago when I was neck deep in the my love for predictable happily ever afters, I would have been head over heels for this book But sadly that isn t case now The book was well written and with a melodic drift that made you want to find out what happens next, even though you kinda already knew what s going to happen since the first page In a simply mediocre kind of way But all in all I can t really complain, it s not something [...]

Little to no plot If readers are addicted to watching THE BACHELOR, then they may be able to drudge through this one The only thing dystopian about it is the caste system There are so many other great dystopian novels out there that readers should pass on this one.For full review, please visit litnerd.weebly dystopiaml scroll down

This may be of a 3.5, but I ll keep it at a 4 for now I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did though everyone told me how addicting it was It s definitely a book that is hard to put down It s not necessarily the best writing though I LOVED the world and world building and I pretty much want to punch every character in the face all the time and I m assuming I will want to do that throughout the next two books but I still really enjoyed myself Sometimes you just gotta read those b [...]

First, I want to say that I LOVED this book I ve been wanting to get to this series for so long and it most definitely did not disappoint I love the names of the three main characters, America, Aspen, and Prince Maxon Awesome names To describe America Singer, I would say she is loyal, tough, passionate, and at the same time, vulnerable and a little bit naive I instantly fell in love with her Aspen is someone she has known all her life and the last two years, they fell in love But in this society [...]

So I never thought I would read this book, let alone finish it but it happened.Interestingly enough I ll probably continue if I can find the other books at my library saleNo idea how to rate it but it was as I expected A bit of a guilty read, fast paced, I rolled my eyes a few times and I didn t like the love triangle but again I finished it and want to continue so I guess it wasn t so bad
