The Selection question

yes i felt it

i did felt it.. Apart from the concept of Hunger games where at some point you can observe the similarities with the castes (Level) and the war, you can also see the concept of "The Bachelor" Tv show in the book ... does anyone agree?

And more dramatic in the selection... I think

Felt the hunger games air. In a way it does remind me of the hunger games and it also doesn't.

Well, you guys know that THG and this book are based off of that Greek myth, where tributes are sent into the Labyrinth to battle the Minotaur?

yep...definitively the hunger games air was there... I just hope no big characters die... not even for Celeste. I cried when Rue in the Hunger Games died.I dont want to go through the pain again...

I did !! The whole time I was reading this book , I was like , this is JUST like THG . Without the dying , as someone pointed out earlier . But the staying alive part is good , right ? I mean , who would want to marry a prince who killed all the girls he didn't want to marry .... ? ;)

nothing about this book reminds me of the hunger games

I could not stop comparing it with hunger games. I felt the whole caste thing and the plot a bit lacking after having read the hunger games. The food was the main focus here too, starvation, poverty etc.....Then there were parts in the book where I felt what is up with America? So much confusion and uncertainity was frustrating...I dont' know if I will read the next book.

it's like that at the beginning of the book. i even got a wther feeling with it but then getting more into the book, it became it's own individual book.

I did, but it had more funny aspect. It was like reading the hunger games, only this was about princessess...

yep .. a lot !

It's like a mix between the Bachelor and the Hunger Games (except, in The Selection being "drawn" is a good thing).

Not at all!

From the surface it seems to be, they have their similarities, but one of the exciting things about reading this book was seeing how it was actually different from THG.
The actual context and meat, so to say, of the Selection I found to be entirely different. The characters, relationships/emotional aspects, and the overall atmosphere of the two books are planets away.

Nobody dies, sooo... NO!

i think so too,except nobody dies.

in thg- if your selected its bad
in the selection- if your selected its good

I thought it was similar in the whole District/Levels thing, and the fact that they're both dystopian. And the love triangle. That's about it though.
