Okay fellas, anyone here ever read this book. This book is fantastic. It's a royal and kingdom type, the one I adore so much. Got a little bit taste of Hunger Games but in a soft way, it's very feminim and suitable for you who like romance fiction and dystopia. Without further do, come read on my review...
Title : The Selection Author : Kiera Cass ISBN : 0062059939 Genre : Fiction, Young Adult, Fantasy, Dystopia, Teen Rating : 5/5 stars
For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
Yesterday, for about ten in the morning, after I got home from school, I read this book and felt like… oh, great, this was like hunger games and in the games.
Eventhough I haven’t have the print copy, I have the ebooks of this series and I haven’t read them yet. Not until yesterday when I saw the sparks inside me who wanted to read those.
So, I read it. It took for about three hours to spend the first book and I couldn’t take it. When I said the first book was like hunger games, I was totally wrong. This definitely different from Hunger Games.
For a teenage girls—especially like me—we all know that a guy with good looking, perfect, cool and romantic, is the number one type guy for girls. It’s a bonus if the guy is rich, and in this case, he was a prince!
America Singer is sort of like Katniss, or Annabeth. This girl knew how to protect herself from threats—of course, I didn’t mention Maxon is the threat, no!—America knew how to be just herself and didn’t care about whatelse though about her. It just, eventhough she had her heart broken by her first-love, it didn’t make her cry. I must admitted that she was a tough girl. And I wish I can be more like her.
After all, the story is amazing. Kiera Cass gave me—some fanatic teenage girl who always fell in love with fictional characters and sometimes, shipped for OTP—some wild imagination to imaginate how things work between America and Maxon. She such brilliant author.
Maxon was a great prince and America was a good-though girl. And I wouldn’t blame Maxon if he fell in love with America because I would do the same thing if I was Prince Maxon. But unfortunately, in this case, I prefer to be America Singer.
To be honest, I love how America and Maxon when they were together and doing some sweet things such kisses, hugging each other, walking in the garden, or joking around. In this book, I really loved America and Maxon. I shipped for them!
