We leven in een nieuw Amerika genaamd Illea waarin het kastensysteem wordt gehanteerd. Hoe lager je cijfer, hoe hoger je aan de ladder zit. Een 1 is van het koninklijk huis. America Singer is zelf een Vijf en is een entertainer. Achten zijn de laagste kaste. Ze heeft al twee jaar een relatie met Aspen, een Zes, maar alles veranderd waarin ze bericht krijgt dat ze uitgekozen kan worden voor de Selectie, waarin je één van de 35 meisjes wordt die met prins Maxon kan trouwen. Hoewel America hier gee ...more

Look.
I had to. I just caved and couldn't stop.
This is pure entertainment and I was hooked from the first page. In all honesty, these books are getting me out of my reading slump, so highly recomend if you're stuck in your readings like I was.

All in all, enjoyed Maxon and America endlessly, never seen the bachelor so this concept just weirds me out, but 10 points because the excitement is real.

...true love is usually the most inconvenient kind.


I just recently joined the bandwagon. I have been reading and I have heard a lot about this book, especially when the second book The Elite Came out April. So I hopped into the parade and joined in, see for myself what the big deal was. What got me about this book was its plot. For me it was a little breath of fresh air, not the usual high school drama I usually encounter. Not the unpopular girl meets the hot most popular guy in school, by

I see what all the fuss is about. Although the love triangle angle is REALLY tired!

Lo primero que llama la atención de este libro es la portada..... al ver un hermoso vestido uno se imagina que toda va a ser color de rosas.... nada más lejos de la realidad.

Es el primer libro de una trilogía y usualmente los primeros libros me resultan lentos, pero no en este caso. Toda la historia se desarrolla en un mundo distópico posterior a la cuarta guerra mundial. El príncipe heredero se encuentra en edad de heredar el trono y adquirir una esposa, según las leyes los descendientes mascul

4.5 stars.

LOVE TRIANGLES ARE SO...FRUSTRATING!!! MAKE YOUR CHOICE ALREADY!!!!!

Okay, now that this is out of the way, here's a kind of (premature) review (THERE ARE SPOILERS!!!):

Things I liked:

1. Though America was annoying at times, I completely understood her actions and why she felt the way she felt. I feel like most of us are so hard on her because it's very frustrating to see her mourning over a lost love while there's a new one waiting for her right in front of her. I feel like it's easy to

1. This book is beyond perfection

2. I love America so much, she is compassionate, she's not FAKE, she is good in music and she is very smart.

3. I love Prince Maxon soooooo much

MAXON MAXON MAXON

Well, I have always wanted to read a book like this, about castes in the modern world, I think this book is beyond interesting and perfect and I am so excited for the next book *jumps*

I must say that this is one hell of a book. Based on the books that I read, this one's got me really really confused as to wwhere my side is. I adored Aspen. But I love Maxon. Which gave this book a whole lot more than any other books. At least, in this twisted love story both guys have the say. I also love how Kiera made more dialogues which therefore make the story not the boring, since long paragraph really bores me a lot. Im so looking forward to the events and hoping for more of America and ...more

POR QUE NO HABIA LEIDO ESTOS LIBROS? POR QUE?
ASPEN, te ame lo que debí amarte, pero MAXON , !oh MAXON! Eres inigualable, aunque me falta mucho por conocerte, se que me seguirás enamorando, necesito un hombre así en mi vida <3, me encanta que por una vez en la vida la protagonista se de a desear y no sea solo pura hormona :).
es un 4.5 bc celeste te odio mucho, y maxon te guardo un poco de rencor por dejarla ser así de no grata.

I really really wanted to like this book, i mean just look at the covers! But it was a really meh book. I didnt exactly hate it but it was too imature and contrived for me and i did not like any of the characters. So sad the book wasnt as good as the covers becauase that would have been a very very good book.
