Eh， I don’t know if it’s just because I was watching TV while I read it， but i didn’t really feel very invested in this story。 I’ll still probably read the other books， just to find out what happened， but it wasn’t anything super thrilling to me。 😕

Książka która totalnie mnie zaskoczyła。 Na początku byłam nastawiona do niej z rezerwą， ponieważ nie wpasowywała się w typ po który najczęściej sięgam， ale postanowiłam się przekonać i spróbować czegoś nowego。 Aktualnie cieszę się， że ją przeczytałam， bo nie zawiodłam się i na pewno skuszę się na przeczytanie całej serii。 Podsumowując jest to lekka， przyjemna oraz wciągająca książka z dość ciekawą historią。💋

No es mi libro favorito， pero definitivamente se ganó mi corazón。 Aunque a veces me pareció odiosa la protagonista， pero eso no quita que sea tan buena y valiente。 <3

The Selection could 100% be a movie and it was very entertaining but you don't get a clear ending and have to read the sequel to figure out how the selection ends。 It was an enjoyable book but I have no desire to read the sequel。 My take on this book was like "The Hunger Games" combined with "The Bachelor" so if you can imagine that， and would enjoy that， this is the book and series is for you！ The Selection could 100% be a movie and it was very entertaining but you don't get a clear ending and have to read the sequel to figure out how the selection ends。 It was an enjoyable book but I have no desire to read the sequel。 My take on this book was like "The Hunger Games" combined with "The Bachelor" so if you can imagine that， and would enjoy that， this is the book and series is for you！ 。。。more

Quick-ish read， definitely for a bit of a longer audience but not bad at all。 Team Maxon all the way！

El libro me pareció muy atrapante y entretenido， pero lo que no me gustó tanto es que el final está demasiado abierto， entiendo que hay precuelas pero quizá si estuviera un poco más cerrado hubiera quedado mejor

I promise I read this with the soul intent of wanting to know why everyone is reading this series right now。 I read it。 I was intrigued。 It was a bit slow， kinda boring， but I understand why some people would like it。

I don't want to be mean because this was created for readers a few years younger than me， but to be honest， I found this book very hard to get through。 It just felt like something I have read countless times before。 The story was just a mix of a thousand before written postapocalyptic young adult novels， combined with the Bachelor and the Royals and the language felt like an Amateur had written it， mit a published author （although this could also be， because I read a translated， german version） I don't want to be mean because this was created for readers a few years younger than me， but to be honest， I found this book very hard to get through。 It just felt like something I have read countless times before。 The story was just a mix of a thousand before written postapocalyptic young adult novels， combined with the Bachelor and the Royals and the language felt like an Amateur had written it， mit a published author （although this could also be， because I read a translated， german version） 。 For me， it sounded pretty much like Fanfiction。 But still， if I look at it from the perspective if a twelve year old girl， I might have really liked the book。 The romance is interesting and even though America is in my opinion a very clichée character， I see a younger version of myself routing for her。 So， to come to a conclusion， thus is definetly no one star review， because I get， that I am not the audience this book is written for and because the plot is at least logical and for young readers maybe even new。 But due to the statements made above， I can not give "The Selection" more than 2 Stars。 。。。more

This is definitely a good book to read but I will say towards the middle of the book it’s starts to become more repetitive in my opinion but overall I enjoyed it and can’t wait to read the next book！ :）

If you want brain candy， this series is for you。 I couldn't put it down and read the whole series in three days。 Did I feel good about myself afterwards？ No。 But was I happy I read them anyway？ Definitely yes。 If you want brain candy， this series is for you。 I couldn't put it down and read the whole series in three days。 Did I feel good about myself afterwards？ No。 But was I happy I read them anyway？ Definitely yes。 。。。more

Read this book in like 3 days it was so good！！ America annoyed me mostly when she was with Aspen。 She has the “not like other girls vibes” ， which is annoying。 I got so mad when Aspen was a guard！！ I absolutely adore Maxon though :） He was so cute and sweet。

Adictivo， gracioso。 Un libro para pasar el rato， literalmente eso como un reality show muy divertido。 Totalmente recomendable si lo que queres es una lectura ligera。

Fue un libro interesante que me mantuvo intrigada por bastante。 Si es cierto que Maxon es probablemente uno de los personajes más dulces y América puede ser un dolor de cabeza， pero diría que es aceptable。
