APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Kiera Cass’ enchanting science-fiction romance became a worldwide hit. The first book in the series introduces readers to the Selection: a national contest to determine the next princess of Illéa, a post–World War III kingdom where social castes are numbered from one to eight. America Singer—a fiery musician with whip-smart insights into politics and romance—is reluctantly drawn into the intense competition to win Prince Maxon’s hand. Cass seduces us with the sparkling charms of the royal palace while also aligning us with her compassionate protagonist, who rails against an unjust regime.
Customer Reviews
The Bachelor Vs. The Hunger Games
This book mixes elements from both the "Hunger Games" book series & the television series "the Bachelor." It's an easy & good read. The ending left me wanting more. However, at times, American's love life is a little frustrating from a reader's perspective.
AMAZING!
Amaaaaaazing book! Finished in 7 hours! Can't wait for the second!
AMAZING BOOK
It was such a good book to read! I loved it! I 100% recommend it to anyone who’s looking to read it. I couldn’t put this book down EVER. I was always on the edge of my seat while reading, and that so rarely happens to me, as I am extremely picky when it comes to books. Basically I’m telling you to read it and be prepared to throw it, yell, swoon, and fall for the characters alongside America.
SPOILER ALERT
I love how America slowly falls for Maxon! The only thing that I dislike is the fact that America so willingly cheats on Maxon with Aspen even when Aspen broke her heart.
