Shelves: young-adult, dystopian-post-apocalyptic-utopian, 2012-publication, cover-fraud, read-2012, annoying-main-characters, heroines-wimpy, icky-subjects, skimmed-or-unfinished, adolescent-wish-fulfillment

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 more than half the book qualifies as giving it a fair shot.

The Selection arrives with a gorgeous cover and interesting premise. What if a lott...more

I am not surprised by how this novel turned out. Really, I'm not. But alas, I thought I'd try it anyways.

*Ehem, I would like to say that the events that unfolded before the books release did have a small effect on my mindset while reading, unfortunately. It did affect my rating as well, by one measly little star.

Honestly, I didn't have any fuzzy feelings before I dived into this book, after much controversy I thought I'd give it chance. I'll start off with the characters:

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...more

Shelves: dystopia, young-adult-literature

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.

NOTE: I want to remind readers that it is important to give all books a fair chance despite negative reviews and controversy (see linked article)/the author or the author's agent being a dumbass. And that is what I did.

Sentence: I sentence Kiera Cass to a season of The Bachelor in which everyone is selected to be dropped off on a deserted island and are made to fight to the death (to be the lone survivor). But then, as a prize, the survivor has to marry some asshole she may or may not like.

I had plenty of initial reservations about reading THE SELECTION, I admit that – certain online fiascos and a plot that I felt somewhat iffy about. But I decided that the other part of me, the part that wondered if this book might possibly charming and a take on reality dating shows that YA has yet to show, was too hard to resist. So I requested this book on Edelweiss and loaded it up onto my Kindle, insisting to myself that the reviews from authors that I trust and like and other reviewers would be right, that I would love this book.

Maybe I should listen to my first instincts better, because in all honestly, I really did not like this book. It’s not particularly well written, I was completely apathetic to the characters, and I just was only compelled to know if maybe the story would have a dramatic twist to keep me reading. And even that never happened.

THE SELECTION is the story of America Singer, a 16 year old girl living in Illea, the remains of the United States after World War 3 and the takeover of the US by the Chinese, then the Russians, then being saved by a private citizen named Gregory Illea who turned the country into a monarchy and installed himself as King. America has been Selected from caste Five (artists, singers, etc – very lowly and poor in this universe) to compete for the hand of the Crown Prince, Maxon, in a reality-style competition between 35 teenage girls. The winner becomes the future Queen of Illea. Except America has a secret… She’s in love with a lower caste boy named Aspen.

Okay, so THE SELECTION has been described as THE HUNGER GAMES meets ‘The Bachelor’. This is not a very far off assessment. It’s like an idea that someone would come up with if they were reading THE HUNGER GAMES while watching ‘The Bachelor’ and thought that marriage to a prince would be a be a better prize than simply making it out alive (don’t worry, no girls are killed, although dresses are ripped by jealous girls and there is backstabbing). It’s an interesting concept, but part of me expected there to be more cameras, more formalized dating, more rose ceremonies and limos and crying confessionals. Instead, the reality element was left to once a week for the girls to sit on stage during a news broadcast, but other than that, nope.

I feel like this entire story was a missed opportunity. It had the chance to be a striking take on reality television, the divide between economic classes, the role of women in society, and instead it went the route of fluff. It would have also worked well as fluff, but there was little fluffy about it. Angst, angst, a stereotypical villain (rich girl who insists that because she is rich she is entitled to everything), and a little more angst (woe is me, I have two hot guys who want to marry poor, plain old me).

America was not a character I could find myself cheering for. She seemed to have little personality other than being meek and (as I’ve mentioned) angsty, dragging two boys around by the nose because she’s unable to choose. And the world she lives in isn’t much better – there are plot holes about the caste system, the history of Illea, and the foundations of the Selection. A great deal of this book came off as superficial, from the writing style (nothing frilly, just basic, everyday writing) to the characters, few of whom had any personality or substance. I wish we had gotten to know more of these characters, but having 35 girls, many of who are named only to disappear into the woodwork, makes this impossible.

Maybe I wished for too much out of this one. While it wasn’t a baaaaad book, it wasn’t good. It was really just…meh. Clearly written with THE HUNGER GAMES in mind, it fails to accomplish what it might have set out to do, which makes this story highly disappointing. With plot holes and boring characters and a really awkward question about virginity followed by the girls being advised to do whatever the Prince asked of them (you know teenage boys), THE SELECTION isn’t a book I will recommend. It doesn’t go for hard hitting or for satire or for fluff, it just stays in the safe zone of boring for the entire length of the story, and safe isn’t good enough.

VERDICT: Even though it had a great deal of potential, this story falls flat with shoddy world building, boring characters, and dull writing. Instead of rising to the occasion such an interesting plot could present, it remains safe and boring.(less)

Apparently every little girl dreams of being a princess. The idea being that Prince Charming comes from a little country you've never heard of and woos you with his eloquent parlance, snappy dress sense, and amiable personality. He might also be cursed and looking for the kiss of true love.

Still, cursed or not, Prince Charming archetypes have existed for as long as fairytales and Disney movies have perpetuated. It also seems that a lot of girls don't really grow out of wanting their own gorgeous...more

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 then dropped him, but still kept him around. Does that make any sense to you? I probably didn't explain that right, but I did my best. :D
About half-way through the book I stopped and looked at all the pages I had left to read and there were still like twenty girls left and I was like HOW IS SOMEONE GOING TO WIN WHEN THERE'S ONLY FIFTY PAGES LEFT? Well, when I finished, my question was answered: None did. Kiera Cass decided to put me through the torture of the biggest cliffhanger ever and not tell me who won. HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?!?!

From page one America was in an interesting situation, what with getting Selected and having Aspen as a boyfriend. This book wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as it is if it didn't have the love triangle. I usually don't like books with it in them, but it totally worked for this one.
I love Maxon. He is totally misunderstood. He isn't stiff, aloof, mean. He's actually really sweet and CUTE.
The other side of the triangle is Aspen. I don't like him. The little slime-ball dumped America because she gave him some food then had the gal to come crying back to her. I hope she ends up with Maxon.
And, last but not least, I really liked America. The whole theme with her in the Selection was that she wanted to be herself, not someone fake, and I really like that. She's a very strong character and speaks her mind. Sort of like me. :P

All in all, I BETTER GET THE SECOND BOOK ASAP OR I WILL EXPLODE!! DO YOU FEEL MY PAIN, KIERA???

Before I sign off I have to give a huge thanks to Kiera Cass (for answering all my messages and passing on my request for an ARC) and to HarperTeen for sending me a copy. THANKS!!!!!!
