The Selection

Die Handlung ist einfach zu verstehen und die Beschreibung zum Buch trifft voll zu. Die Geschichte zwischen Aspen, America und Maxon hat mich sofort mit gerissen. Leider hatte ich mir das Casting radikaler vorgestellt, mehr Zickenkrieg, mehr Kameras, die einen beobachten. Mir hats trotzdem gefallen!

Dieses Buch hat mich das Lesen, lieben gelernt und ein Hobby daraus gemacht. Für alle, die eine Sogwirkung brauchen und denken wollen, sie wären in diesem Buch. In einem Film. Es ist mehr, als würde man einen Film weiterschauen als weiter zu lesen, da man im Buch versinkt. DANKE, dass ich dank diesem Buch, so viel mehr tolle Bücher lesen durfte. Es wird für immer in meinem Herz bleiben.

Eine wirklich tolle Jugendbuchreihe, ich habe alle Bücher verschlungen. Absolute Leseempfehlung!

For many girls the Selection is a dream come true, but not for America Singer. Getting in the competition for Prince Maxons affection means that she has to leave her secret boyfriend Aspen behind. But it is also one of the only chances to get out of the rigid caste system and improve her chances in life. Then she gets to know the prince as a person and soon realizes that he is not what she has expected at all. Maybe the life she always wanted is nothing compared to her possible future. I know this is probably not one of the best books out there but I must admit that I loved reading it anyway. It was giving dystopia combined with „The Bachelor“ vibes and I personally think that’s a great combination. I also enjoyed the idea of this future world as it has the traditional / historical royalty part but also some more modern / future parts. On top this book had some good plot twists as well as some secrets and intrigues that made it quite enjoyable. America is a great protagonist that really fits to the story line. It is fascinating to see how much here character develops throughout the entire book. There were some moments that she really drove me crazy with her attitude but I still liked her and thought she was pretty relatable. And of course I loved Maxon. He is so much more than just an arrogant prince. It is great to see how much he cares about his country and the people living it. Together with America I think he could make a big difference. Aspen on the other hand is definitely not my favorite character but without him and his actions I think America wouldn’t be who she is today. So I guess we do need him after all. If you like a good dystopia with some bachelor vibes I would 100% recommend this book to you. It definitely is a light read but that’s probably one of the reasons I liked it so much as I just flew through the pages.

I loved the series of the Selection. A teenager deciding rather to choose love or the kingdom. Discovering a new world that is nothing like she has ever seen before. A journey full of happiness, anger, sadness and jealousy. Enemies becoming good friends...and much more. I read the series in three days. I read one book each day because of how good it was. You really feel like you’re America singer needing to decide. A really good book!
