This is like my top five book series in my life
I recommend this to any person who is bored or like to read
Gets annoyingly cheesey & overdramatic real fast
Liked the main character development until she goes running to get outside into a garden b/c she “couldn’t breath”when she had just been on a balcolny outside! Ugh.

The Selection is wonderful book for middle and high schoolers. It keeps you on your feet and turning the page with all of the suspenseful events. I gave the book five stars because it appeases a wide variety of readers. There are romance moments in the beginning and middle, funny moments when America and Prince Maxon are together, and …
I don’t believe a thesaurus has enough words to discribe the comfort this book gives me when reading or listening. I own it in hard copy, e-copy, and audio. Violet is like my best friend and the worlds it introduces you to just make me want to step inside the pages. I will Forewarn you that there is only two books in the series published and so …
This was a quick one-night read for me, and yes, I found myself falling for it…head over heels. It was exhilarating and a bit sweet, and yes maybe I got a bit giddy reading it. After all, what girl doesn’t want to ultimately choose between her childhood sweetheart and a handsome prince of the realm? This was a modern fairytale. Be still my …
Honestly, this book series is worth all your time!!
This is one of my favorite books. It is about a girl named America Singer and one day she enters this competition called the selection to compete for prince Maxons hand. Little does anybody know that she’s already in a relationship with someone else. 35 girls compete, but only 1 can win the crown.
God… This book truly gives me the feels…. I read the entire series in 3 days during my exams at school!! Love it
The characters all have my heart!
I could not put it down! I have read all books in this series at least 3 times now and I still find myself caught in the story! Everytime America has a presentation that she is nervous about, I feel that gut wrenching feeling as if I were about to perform in front of a large audience myself. I cried several times while reading this but fell in …
Got a little over half way really starting to love it. Then a love triangle happens. This spoils books for me because two or all three characters involved end up being stupid, just plain ol’, dag-gum stupid. I’m sure things work out in the end, but for me personally a love triangle ruins the book for me. Sorry, Kiera, I’m sure the series is great …
This is a great book. It’s just that I was so stressed when Maxon was just making America stressed by dating with other girls in the other series. I would say that the The Selection is the best book in The Selection series. (And of course i loved the ending, though it was so sudden that so many people died in the last book like
A LITTLE …
This book is amazing! I normally don’t read books involving princesses, and other things that relate to fairytales, but I gave this book a try and I’m glad I did. Now I’m moving on to the other books in the series, and I really recommend this book. The book gets you so involved, that you can’t even take your eyes off the page! In fact, you just …
It was one of the best books i ever read. It was impossible to put down. Kiera Cass is a brilliant author and i look forward to reading more of her books
Do you like romance and a little bit of drama? Than this is a book for you.
It is one of the best books I’ve ever read, it explains everything and it’s easy to read because they’re a lot of easy worlds, I hope everyone who loves history and how they lived in the old days to read it and enjoy it as I did.
This was an incredible book. I finished it in three days and couldn’t wait to get he rest of the series! The storyline was great, the characters were beautifully described and I really felt like I was there with them throughout the whole thing. This would be a book I would read over and over again, and recommend it to anyone, especially if your …
I gave the young adult fantasy book The Selection . I like young adult books with romance. It doesn’t have to be over the top sexy (which this one wasn’t). I don’t always love dystopian books. I worry that the end won’t be satisfying for me. I admit, I like when everyone is happy at the end. Anyway, this book intrigued me enough to buy the …
I thought this book was a great series and I loved reading it!! It has a special place in my heart and all the characters are so memorable.
It’s a fun read when you’re looking for a fairly light romantic YA. It’s got royalty, it’s got hints of a new dystopian society, it’s got a contest a la the bachelorette, and the characters grow on you as the series builds and they develop.
