Okay, so, a rundown on a couple of the main characters:Īmerica Singer: once I got past her name (even though it does have meaning, I still find it annoying), I came to appreciate her. Unfortunately, the ones I’d come to care for were eliminated (which I don’t think is a spoiler because we all know someone’s going to get eliminated, and I didn’t say who). I was able to keep track of a few, but not all. There were thirty-five girls, and quite a number of them were featured. (Yes, I am being “a bit” mercenary, but ’tis how my mind works … sorry … INTJ over here …) Characters: 4/5 All love triangles are annoying.įrom page 1, I was ready for her to dump the other dude (Aspen) and marry sweet, sympathetic, handsome, wonderful, RICH RICH RICH Maxon. Some have said this is a better love triangle than most. Kind of reminds me of The Hunger Games, only with marriage instead of death. But, according to America, these are somewhat similar.Īnd then the love triangle. I admit the whole idea of the Selection is intriguing. The plot was good … but a little slow at times. It just wasn’t very exciting, with a bunch of girls cooped up in the castle going on walks with the prince (punctuated by rebel attacks, of course). I liked the characters … well, some of them … some of the time …įrankly, my feelings of this book are quite mixed. In some ways it was interesting … but in other ways it was boring. I don’t really know what to say about this book.
