Leer este libro fue una de las peores decisiones que he tomado. Culpo a la hermosa portada por hacerme querer leerlo. Es hermosa, la portada es una de las más lindas que he visto. Pero el libro es pura basura. No quiero comenzar escribiendo puros comentarios negativos, porque sé lo mucho que duele leer una reseña negativa de tu libro favorito. Pero no pienso morderme la lengua y callar todo lo que tengo que decir acerca de él.

La Selección es uno de esos libros que prometen ser lo mejor, pero qu

After having read The Prince, I was very excited to start The Selection and it didn't disappoint!

Following America Singer through the process and the journey of The Selection is a wonderful adventure. I enjoyed meeting all the other girls in The Selection, finding out who her friends were as well as her enemies. Hearing about her life before The Selection was something else that I really loved.

Maxon doesn't disappoint either. He is a wonderful character who seems to want to make life for Ameri

The premise of The Selection is compelling: 35 girls each fighting for the heart of Prince Maxon, and therefore the crown. But for America Singer, being Selected means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, and leaving her home to enter a competition for a future she doesn’t want. 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.

I enjoyed reading it. I got so into how frustrating Aspen was, and how funny Maxon and America's relationship was established. It focused more on how conflicted America's feelings were for Maxon. I was expecting more background with the other girls and more cat fights, and the ending was expected. But so far so good, I'm ready for the sequel. ...more
