Well, well, well .... There, I think we're not far at all to blow the heart (yes, I admit, I regularly)

Well, I not remake you the summary, right, speaks for itself.

I loved the look reality of the plot. But I really hate it and I do not watch this kind of issue. But used here to serve an original story, but that is not without recalled by certain points, Instant Lauren Destefano.
The similarities between these two novels? (Before I get booed!): The naive side of prince here is reminiscent of Linden (although I found it much less annoying and more engaging).
Side "harem" also, although in the case of this book, it is only to choose a bride, not to get them all.

America is very endearing. Far from being silly, though it's hard to argue his opinion in the first few pages, she quickly takes insurance, and dare to strike the Prince Maxon.
Maxon, it is really touching. Far from the realities of life of its citizens, he becomes aware of the living conditions of those from America. And I love his way of showing how beautiful it will be king!
I quickly realized it was more attaché in America, it was sewn with white thread. And despite his side a bit stuck and snobbish, he managed to impress me with his kindness and nobility of spirit, even when he is ready to leave from America even that feels love ....

For cons, I hated Aspen. No, do not hit! I hate types still trying to feel sorry for themselves and unable to make decisions if they are not in their favor, even hurt people who love him.
While he works hard for his family. But doing so dallying America, the push to participate in the selection for the drop like a big old **** of departure and point to farewell the girl with a girl hanging on his arm, no, it's me not make him sympathetic.
But when, once promoted by the army, coming face to America at the palace, he as if it had no importance and plays lovesick offended and ambivalent feelings that inhabit the poor girl, there I say "Fuck you also, you've had your chance, you got treated like a dope now cry over your fate! "

Culture shock candidates face the wealth of the Capitol (yes, the Capitol, as in Hunger Game! Coincidence?) Is rather interesting to observe. But the crepe side of buns with delicacy is more!
See these girls, all very competitive, as opposed to America, observe their opponents, gauge, and find how to shine in the midst of the thirty girls approached, it's just great art ^ ^

End without pun, left me on my end! There will, of the books I expect the R collection for the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013! After starters, the daughter of embers and brambles now The Selection!

    This book is just FABULOUS! I read the first line and I could not stop me, the story is wonderful!
    Aspen is a character that I can not love but I can not no longer hate, but not as well if I hate Celeste, ah! this bitch!. Anyway, I can not frame Aspen because (SPOILER care for those who have not yet read):
    1. he dropped America for nothing
    2. he had the nerve to come up with his "new girlfriend" I on departure America
    3. it is up to her as if nothing happened.
    The only problem: the next book that comes out next year ... But for us to wait, they will broadcast on the small screen adaptation for cash in September
