The Selection
The Selection by Kiera Cass was a fictional young adult and dystopian book. This book reminded me of the show The Bachelor, which is one of my favorite shows, so I enjoyed this book very much. This book was written in the future after the United States was taken over by China. The Chinese then got defeated by a man named Gregory Illéa and so the country was named Illéa after him. The Selection happened in Illéa when the prince became old enough to get married. His name was Maxon and 35 women were chosen to join him in the castle so he could pick who he'll marry. Along the way there were mean gangs that invaded the castle and scared some girls out. America was the strongest girl there. She had not asked to go home at all. Right when things started going well between her and Maxon, someone from her hometown that she left came to be a guard in the castle. America had no idea who she should love more. America was my favorite character because she was honest. At first she was only in The Selection to provide food for her family, but then she grew attached to Maxon. They had a special relationship. I recommend this book to girls because it's a romantic book.

Sydney,
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really good! I really like the show The Bachelor also, so I think I would like this book. You also did a great job describing what happens in the book with the history of the war and the current conflict between the people.
I'm glad you liked the book and it looks really interesting. I might have to go back and reread it.
