The book was well, still okay in its own way, and I may have liked a few parts too much, (particularly those moments wherein Maxon's amused with America). But the love I had for Maxon was only proprotional to the amount of annoyance I had over Aspen. Like, gods, his excuses were stupid. Blah. And though I had no problem with America whatsoever until the last part, the fact that it almost seems as if she was stringing along two guys in the end makes me feel vexed.

And the story itself? Well, I fe ...more

Honestly, I never thought that I would like this book but now that I have read it I'm like America and Maxon have to make an awesome couple. Maxon Schreave is his name and I was so happy that I was able to remember his last name because I tend to forget those at times. And when I was reading this book one rule in being part of the Selection is that no physical contact can be made among the 35 girls that were selected. Though when Celeste (the bi*** she is) rips America's awesome red gown I was i ...more

GAAAAHHHH!!!! Oh my gosh! SOOOOO ADORABLE!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3!!!!
Completely ready for the next book! It's almost 3am and I have to get up in a few hours so it'll have to wait :'(

Can't wait to g ...more

Shelves: dystopian, because-everyone-else-read-it, incredibly-stupid-herione, pathetic-heroine, murder-the-love-interest, 2-star, murder-the-heroine, un-hype-worthy, ugly-cover, scheisekopf

The murder-the-love-interest shelf refers to Maxon, not Aspen

Wow, this book gets all four of my heroine shelves. I do not like the cover either.

Not really my type of book because I hate princesses and stuff like that. But It was okay, I don't think I'll read anything else like this though...I pretty much only read it because its a pretty big topic in the groups I'm in. ...more

Not sure how I felt about this book at first. It took me a while to get into & I didn't really like America, but it got better halfway through. Really hoping the love triangle doesn't get too annoying. So curious to find out what's going to happen in the next one. ...more
