Everyone claims she is funny but I fail to see her comedic skills in either of the two books. I don’t understand her logic sometimes and I find that she is very strong in some convictions but not others (which seems contradictory to me). (More emphasis on The Bachelor aspect though) I liked the idea of the competition and I feel like the concept is well conceived mostly because it is so simple.Īmerica isn’t my favourite book heroine ever. It’s very Hunger Games meets The Bachelor which is cool in my opinion. The writing is nothing fabulous (it’s like Twilight where it is not the best writing in the world) but as my friend who liked the story said to me, it’s the story’s concept that makes it interesting and enjoyable. This book is clearly marketed for a younger teen audience. This left me with mixed expectations so I tried to read the book as objectively as possible.Īfter reading the first book, I could understand why the views were so mixed. My one friend really enjoyed it while the other didn’t care too much for it. When I read The Selection, two of my friends who have similar reading tastes to me, had just finished reading it.
