This book… The first book of the selection series was pretty decent. It was easy to read and I didn’t have to focus so much.Â
This book is way worse in every possible way. It feels like I could’ve written this book when I was ten, I mean the Swedish translation was not iiiittt.Â
Here’s some things I wrote down while reading:Â
- Is she mentally ill?Â
- HOW CAN SHE STILL BE W ASPEN I HATE ASPEN
- why tf is she so stuck up in her attitudeÂ
- I hate Maxon, stupid and ugly nameÂ
- Is she dumb in her whole headÂ
- SHE IS AN ANTI HERO STUPID BITCH WHY DID IT TAKE HER SO LONG TO REALIZE THAT THE SELECTION IS WRONG AND THAT THE CAST SYSTEM IS BAD AND DUMB????Â
- aspen go to bed I don’t want you hereÂ
- SHE IS FUCKING CHEATING ON MAXON W ASPEN AND WHEN MAXON DOES SOMETHING W OTHER GIRLS SHE CANT FORGIVE HIM AND WONT TALK TO HIM??
- I feel so bad for Maxon Â
In conclusion it was a pretty bad book that just kept getting worse BUT I’m still going to read the whole series because I want to watch it when it comes out on Netflix. That’s the only thing that’s keeping me hooked.Â
The characters wasn’t likable at AAALLLLL💀💀 It is not a single person I like in this fucking book I despise everyone and everything. AndÂ
Maybe I’m too old for this book, maybe it’s meant for younger kids.Â

I andra boken i Selection serien är en fortsättning pÃ¥ urvalet och kampen om Maxons hjärta (och tronen). Det finns bara sex tjejer kvar och fler ska elimineras. Ska America fÃ¥ stanna i tävlingen och hur ser hennes känslor egentligen ut?Â
Jag fortsätter att rekommenderar boken och den är väldigt underhÃ¥llande. MÃ¥lgruppen för boken skulle jag säga är 12+. Detta är en bok med intriger, romans och vänskap och den utspelar sig i en allt annat än perfekt värld. En fantasy (utan magi) och dystopisk bok.Â
