The Selection (Selection - Trilogy) (edition 2012)
by Kiera Cass
Review by Sliced Open Reviews
Note: adding book to my fav reads of 2012!
While I could use so many words to describe this book, but I won't flood you with one word descriptions...so here we go.
The Selection gripped me from the opening chapter, I *accidentally* started reading this at work while getting my Nook library organized and it was the biggest *accident* I could ever make. I read chapter 1 one while sitting at my desk on lunch, and then, almost went into hysterics while waiting for 5 o'clock to come so I could go home and get my Nook and curl up on my bed and read. I did just that and was so angry when it ended. I don't just want book two I NEED it, with a need so bad that I'm not sure how I will make it to next year, but I will try.
Kiera Cass floored me, her writing and relationship building was by far some of the best I have seen in some time, and with this book she is defiantly making my top loved authors list. When I read the blurb a couple months back I vaguely remembered it until it popped up as downloading on my Nook (I know Kiera you can kick me for that later).
I usually HATE love triangles in a book, but I almost think Kiera Cass took everyone's feelings into consideration while writing this, she didn't make your typical, girl likes boy, boy likes girl, girl finds other boy she likes, other boy likes girl, and OH NO boy hates other boy. While she does follow some of that, the book wasn't centered on it, it was the building of Relationship between America and Aspen and America and Maxon, which is how it should be. Dare I say, Cass did the love triangle right, YAY!
This was not your typical Dystopian novel, while we are used to being tossed into the horrible society in a dystopian and the carried away through the characters life and learning and growth in their said society, this novel shows you how the society works but then you follow America through her journey in the "Selection" so little to no grueling battles or fiery towns or running from the law, which is not a bad thing, it was actually quite refreshing if you ask me!
So now I am going to go scream from the roof tops that everyone should go out a buy this book and read it, then, they too can go scream from the roof tops, this may hold us all over until the next book...Well Done Kiera, well done!
My friend Susan got two of these books and was nice enough to offer me up a copy. I read it last night in one sitting. As far as dystopian worlds go this one was pretty easy to grasp and understand. I liked the subtle shifts in world power that caused the creation of this new land. I also thought that this book has some Hunger Games undertones.
America is independent but not so far as to forget her family. I like that about her, she knows (or at least has a pretty good idea) of what she wants and does the selection only for her family (well, and Aspen's) sake. I enjoyed Maxon al ot, he was not at all the way I started out the book thinking he was. I fell more in love with him than I did with Aspen...even though they are both dreamy in their own ways.
The plot moved rather fast although I would liked to see Maxon get rid of more girls early just for things I felt they were doing that he shouldn't have put up with. I enjoyed the emotional growth between Maxon and America as well, it was slow and sweet.
On those very positive notes...I HATE cliffhangers...HATE HATE HATE! I am so tired of them I want to scream every time I read a YA book these days. Maybe this book ending could be called a happy-for-now but ti stops at a critical part for all the main characters and that is my definition of a cliffhanger. I will read the next one only because I am dying to know who Maxon chooses.
This book is a cross between The Hunger Games and The Bachelor. Decently written and engrossing.
I loved this book. I just can't help myself when it comes to dystopian young adult books. America is a great character and Cass makes her feel like a 'real' teen - just one in a different world. I can feel America's uncertainity, and I feel the unfairness of the whole institution of selection, even if its not actually brought up in the book that much. But then again - by not talking about how weird/strange it is Cass really puts the reader in the world of Illéa.
I'm truly baffeled by the mixed reviews this book has recieved. I'm an adult who enjoys YA books, I read them because they are entertaining - that's it. Its a nice way to spend an hour or so. I'm not concerned with the moral or anthing like that - I want to be able to block out the fat man sitting next to me on the train while I commute. If you like YA distopian books and a good time read The Selection, if you take life too seriously then don't read it.
Much better than I thought it would be! I was reluctant to read this book for a long time because I didn't care for the concept of a bunch of girls fighting over a prince (I'm a feminist, thank you very much!). But a good friend highly recommended it and so I put myself on the (very long) library hold list for this book. It was a good read, very typical of the YA dystopian genre, but also very readable and with a likable narrator. I can't wait to continue the series!
The Selection goes with a very
elegant cover. Apparantly, the looks
can be deceiving.
I just can't figure it out that this
book gets a very high rating. It's
This one is mash-up between the
The Hunger Games girlified Version!
and The Bachelor which is awful.
I finished the entire book at exactly
1:56 A.M. and just wasted my time.
But somehow, I managed to enjoy
Since the plot is very alike with the
The Hunger Games. Why not put all
the 35 Selecteds into hunting and
killing each other and the last girl
standing will be the One? Just
I don't know if YA is getting more predictable or if I've somehow just become a snob, but I miss being surprised, and I saw the end coming maybe fifty pages in. It's really disheartening because I love the genre, I love dystopian novels, but I'm starting to wonder if it's all really played out and I should move on to more "adult" reading material like my age begs me to do.
I really wanted to love this book. I really did. It was simply too slow, too boring, too fluffy without any solid substance behind it at all, and with the main character having the absolute stupidest name I've ever heard, I just couldn't. The book tried, I tried, but we both fell incredibly short.
Excuse my while I go twirl my fork menacingly. *snort*
I thought I would hate this, mainly because it has a lot of things that I don't like. I don't like love triangles...actually, I really hate love triangles. It's one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to Young Adult novels. Why does there have to be two guys? Why? What's wrong with just liking one person and leaving it at that?
I also was wary of the Bachelor like theme. I've sadly seen one episode of the horrid show and I kind of find it incredibly distasteful and gross. Maybe it's because the guy (or girl) is in a massive love triangle.
Anyways, despite my misgivings I decided to read the book and it wasn't that bad. In fact, I liked it for the most part.
America Singer lives in a dystopian like world where people are categorized by numbers. The higher the number you have, the better you life will be. Also, your number determines what kind of carry you have. Fives, like America 's family, are entertainers. While Sixes, are servers.
Which brings us to boy number one in America's love triangle, Aspen, who is a Six. (Aspen, America...I see what you did there). America doesn't care that he's a Six, her family would be against it, and he doesn't like that America would probably provide for him more than he provides for her. Plus there is a law that tries to limit people from doing this.
Boy number two is Prince Maxon. He's holding a Bachelor like game, where girls around the kingdom have a chance to be proposed by him. America signs up, because Aspen told her to, and is chosen. America and Aspen break up, America goes to the castle, and starts to develop feelings for Maxon.
Now the triangle is complete.
America, for the most part, is focused on one guy during the novel and I did like her growing friendship with Maxon. I would have been fine if the novel focused more on this and America's growing feelings for him.
Some of the things that I found odd:
After America lets Maxon know that she's in love with someone else, she makes a deal with him. He keeps her at the palace for as long he needs her to be there for the Selection and in return, she'll give him insider information on the girls. It sounds like a fine deal to me, only America avoids most of the girls and the conversations she has with Maxon is almost never about them.
Sadly, this did bug me a bit because I wanted to see America interact with the girls. But we never really see that. A lot of the girls are interchangeable and for the most part I didn't really care for them.
And then there was..
While reading the novel, I felt like Aspen would show up during America's selection process. This was a given. I did think he would have some ties to the rebels, which would cause America to choose whether she wants to support the kingdom and Maxon, or the support the rebels/freedom and Aspen.
Instead, the book ends in a cliffhanger. Maxon doesn't even pick a girl by the end. This was disappointing, because for the most part I did enjoy this novel but then it ends abruptly. It didn't even feel like a full novel because of that.
I will probably read the next book to see if Aspen and Maxon go head to head...for the kingdom and not America.
Amazing start to the series. I really enjoyed the different characters and learning about them. America is definitely a strong main character and I loved reading about her relationships with different characters in the book, especially Marlee and Maxon.
The plot of this book is obvious and predictable. I detest shows like The Bachelor and Bachelorette so I avoided this because that's just what the premise is. 35 girls, 1 crown to be won.
The main character has an air of something....annoying about her. (And a rather annoying name, usually if I don't like a character name I won't read the book but I got this from Amazon when I was drunk). Despite the annoyance of the characters, and the asinine plot, its actually a very compelling read.
I was admittedly ready to dislike the price as on first meeting he came across as a pompous asshole. His character did develop quite well throughout the story, he had a personality and mind and wasn't a card board cut out swooner. The world building was interesting as well, its a dystopian but there was a rather well thought out reasoning and history as to how to the world came to be.
I'm not sure its the smartest way to find a Crown Princess, but admittedly this is a guilty pleasure read for me. Its annoying, but impossible to stop reading. I had to go out and get the other two books in the series, one paperback, one hardback and wound up getting the Selection again in paperback so I could have the complete set.
I know how it ends, but I'm still looking forward to the in-between book to see how the plot develops.
I expected a little more from this. I felt like I only got 3/4 of a book. What is it with people needing to have a trilogy?
35 Girls. 1 Crown. The Competition of a Lifetime.
Kiera Cass' The Selection series is a romance/drama/fairy tale story with a reality show premise. The first book is called The Selection and was published in 2012 by HarperTeen. Aimed at teen readers, this three book series now has a companion novel and is sure to charm teen fans who like a girly romance that will unconditionally end with a happily ever after.
I'm not particularly fond of America Singer, but the colourful cast of girls and handsome Prince Maxon make up for America's sometimes irritating quirks. Regardless, the books are a bit of delicious treat. An easy, no-stress read of an average girl who is given the chance to marry Prince Charming. The premise of the series is an interesting one—it's why The Bachelor still thrives on TV!
I flew through the first two novels and am about to start on the third. It's not my favourite series, but Kiera Cass is a fantastic author who appeals to teen girl readers who love a good love triangle and a match-up of a girl who could be you, who ends up marrying the perfect guy. As a YA fan, this is more of a guilty pleasure for me and my dislike of the heroine pulls down my overall rating. However, I can certainly attest to the fact that preteens who like this type of story will enjoy this series!
A well-written series choice for teens!
3 Stars
I really enjoyed the writing in this book. I loved America's character, she is such a sweetheart. I especially like how she treated her maids. This book has quite the love triangle though. Personally I'm rooting for Maxon as the series continues. I am really happy to say that this book didn't get as catty as I expected it to. 35 girls fighting over 1 guy, I expected more of a cat fight.
I think Maxon is a great guy, even though he is the prince he has insecurities. I like that he isn't super cocky and he's actually pretty down to earth. He has a good heart and I want America to fall in love with him.
Aspen on the other hand... I think that he's selfless in the way that he didn't want to bring America down because of the caste system. But I also think that love can be greedy, and that it was America's decision on whether or not she cared about the caste system. I think that in making that decision for her he no longer has any right to fight for her. You can't break someone's heart and then change your mind. You gave her up, so let her move on. You jerk.
I can't wait to read the next book. Kiera Cass is a really good writer, this book flowed really well and was never dull. I hope to read a lot more by her.
The first sentence: "When we got the letter in the post, my mother was ecstatic."
Thoughts from the first and second chapter:
The writing style (first person, again) and voice pulls you in very quickly. Also you're wondering about what the talk of numbers has to do with this story, and so you easily flip through the pages to understand what she's going on about with a letter and royalty. She doesn't want to be a One. Umm, why not? Do these main characters never want the super, amazing, special thing/position ever in books? Doesn't seem like it. Oh, and yes, another female character who denies her beauty, but it's sooo obvious to everyone else. The secret boyfriend: Uhh..okay? Will this turn into some kind of a love triangle or what? And apparently.
Main Character: America Singer (Yeah, really).
I have no problems with names, usually. America was a pretty common name for girls at some point in history. I have a few Americas in my family tree and so do a lot of other people, but does it make sense in this story where the country itself doesn't exist anymore? Maybe or maybe not, depending on what you want to believe.
The Plot: Well, it's a fairly simple one. 35 girls compete to become the prince's wife. Although, it really wasn't much of a competition or so it seemed to me. America didn't really have to try and she didn't.
The other characters:
America's family: I liked them for the most part. I could understand why her mother wanted her to join the competition. A chance for a better life.
Aspen: I didn't get why he wanted America to join the competition. That whole what if excuse didn't work for me. For some reason I just didn't like him at all.
Prince Maxon: I do like this character, but I wonder how he didn't know that the lower caste people were going hungry and stealing to provide for their families in the first place.
Princess wannabes: Most of them, well, were meant to be unlikable. Celeste for example. She was a total witch with a capital B.
Annoying Things: A competition was promised, but there wasn't much past a few angry glares and whispering behind America's back, let alone a real competition where they do more than just take pictures and whatever. Aspen, I couldn't stand him for some reason.
Overall: This book was entertaining for what it was. The issues with this book can be pretty easily ignored for just the quickness of the read and the entertainment factor.
Also I ship Prince Maxon and America.
Will I read the other two books: 50/50 chance. It was good, but not enough to excite me to continue.

Clearing up the mixed reviews for this book.....
"This is not a dystopian book. This is a romance with a mildly dystopian sub-plot."
If you love books with action-packed-agnst-ridden-the-world-is-gonna-end-surival this book will disappoint you. If you like paperback romances and want a new light-hearted romance with a twist you will like this book.
As I said before this is defiantly a romance novel with touches of dystopian. Any violence occurring in the novel is hinted at or quickly brushed over, so people who don't enjoy the detailed grittiness of dystopian lit will enjoy this book. It's is a casual read for people who like to fantasize about the "reality princess experience" with a touch of dystopian unease.
Summary -
The book follows a spirited Cinderella-type heroin named America, who living in near poverty dreams of a good life for herself and her loved ones. The world America lives in is governed by a caste system in which the majority of the people are born near poverty. Having fallen in love with a boy from a lower level then herself Cinderella struggles to work towards a life in which both of them can be happy. However, everything changes with the announcement of "The Selection", a contest between 38 girls for the hand of a prince". Despite her better judgement America enrolls in the Selection which overturns the life she had hoped for. Suddenly America is thrown into a nationally televised contest with a wide variety of eccentric contestants each hoping to catch the eye of the prince, who America is completely uninterested in (aside from the money provided by The Selection that will help her struggling family). As the story continues the palace, while majestic and beautiful, shows signs of instability as rebellions begin occur with increasing frequency putting America, her fellow constants, the royal family, and her society in danger. The prince, while kind is also emotionally isolated from the people around him, a trait which he will have to overcome if he is to find his future princess, stop the rebellions, and govern his people. Will America be able to help him or will their mutual stubbornness be their downfall.
Let me say this upfront: I read the whole thing, didn't skim or skip pages. Re-posted from my blog at http://armchairauthor.wordpress.com
Stucco palace.
Just think about that phrase for a moment. Hold it in your mind. Turn it over, consider the implications. It has a lot to do with this review.
The Selection by Kiera Cass, 327 Pages
I was really excited about this book, I really wanted to like it. I am not immune to the lure of a beautiful cover featuring a beautiful girl in a gorgeous dress. A dust-jacket featuring a svelte redhead in endless ruffles of turquoise tulle reflected back in different poses by a bank of water-spotted mirrors, wrapped around a Tiffany-blue hardback stamped with a silver tiara. Despite my disdain for bodice-ripping romances I can enjoy a made-for-TV romantic comedy or an episode of The Bachelor while I'm cooking dinner, so I was game to give the YA dystopian fantasy a shot.
This is a book that tries to bridge the gap between The Hunger Games and Twilight. Someone was bound to try soon enough, those two incredibly popular series combined would seem like a golden ticket to publication. On the one hand, we have a highly regulated society in which many are starving and it is very difficult to move across the government's dividing lines, hosting a competition to publicly elevate one of its number above the rest. On the other we have a novel completely centered around a love triangle, with a heroine who is a bit of a Mary Sue.
America Singer is a tri-lingual, naturally beautiful musician with a secret boyfriend of a lower caste. Being a Five is not so great, it is an artisan class with sporadic work that leaves her family perpetually short on food, but her boyfriend Aspen has it worse as a Six in the servant class. She has the big-time hots for this boy and they have two years worth of treehouse trysts backed up, creating an incredible pressure that they'd like to relieve post-marriage (pre-marital sex is ground for imprisonment). Big no-no, America's momma is hoping she will use her pretty face to marry up at least two castes. When a Cinderella-esque invitation arrives exhorting America to enter a lottery for a chance to win a place in a competition to win the hand of the crown-prince of Illéa, becoming a One in the process, her mother is practically foaming at the mouth and even secret-boytoy Aspen doesn't want her to pass up the opportunity.
She is persuaded to enter, and of course she is selected.
Many blogs have already likened this novel to The Bachelor, and I would have to say that it actually reads like Bachelor fan-fiction with a prince subbed for the schmuck. America is incredibly judgmental of the other Selected, often based on a single visual impression or line of dialogue, yet these judgements are never false. The sexy brunette is seductive and conniving, the bubbly blonde is sweet as pie. Everything plays out as exactly as you might guess, in the most clichéd manner possible. The palace is repeatedly attacked by mysterious rebels with no definite purpose in scenes that fail to thrill. The book is light on both dialogue and description, propelled by endless stated actions and sentiments "I walked downstairs and then sat in a chair and then ate dinner. It was delicious. I felt full." There were several paragraphs in which every sentence began with "I". The scant dialogue all sounds the same, though the novel depicts characters from a range of social classes and geographic locations. I wouldn't even know if I split an infinitive, but there were many glaring errors in mechanics, as though someone printed their fan-fiction straight from the computer and had it bound. Unfortunate dialogue tags abound, everyone "sings" everything. At one point I wondered if this book were supposed to be a musical.
The heroine herself comes across as inconsistent and disingenuous. She is home-schooled and plays the victim of incomprehensible feminine politics, but makes unerring judgements of her fellow ladies and presumes to give Maxon advice on interacting with them. At one point she states that she wants nothing more than to be alone with a violin, on the next page she is alone in her room with a selection of instruments and says she can't "be bothered" with them. She claims to be madly in love with Aspen but only seems to think or feel anything about him when he is directly in her line of sight. She performs actions that are inconsistent with the reader's knowledge if her character, simply because they seem to be on the author's checklist of princessly characteristics.
The romance is pretty dull. With America and Aspen it is a lot of forbidden horny leg-rubbing; America and Maxon engage in slightly more interesting conversation about why he sucks (America is a real charmer).
This is not the worst of it, you guys, and I'm sorry for rambling on. I'm almost done.
The worst failure of this novel is a failure of the imagination. I could deal with a stupid plot and two-dimensional characters if I got some great poetic language, engaging world-building, or sumptuous descriptions of luxurious locales and fashion. The author seems to have an obsession with cap-sleeves, everything America wears has them! I'm not sure if it was a deliberate choice to make her seem demure or a lack of creativity. The sumptuous cuisine? Bacon, eggs, and pancakes; or vanilla ice cream with fruit. Literally dozens of female characters have names but no physical descriptions or personalities, even when they have speaking parts. COME. ON. The palace is made of stucco (but has marble floors). Stucco, you guys. It was described in a way that made me picture the mansion they always use on The Bachelor, but it is somehow big enough to house more than two hundred people, forty or so with their own rooms and enormous individual bathrooms. Magic.
I am disappoint. This could have had real potential if a tougher editor had entered the picture.
There are two things that should be known up-front about The Selection: Whoever decided it qualified as Dystopia needs to be handed a copy of 1984 STAT, and despite this oversight, The Selection is actually pretty entertaining. As long as you don't throw the that "D" genre label anywhere near it, The Selection stands pretty well on its own. The only reason this book really can even get near the Dystopia label is the caste system, which while that makes America an underdog to root for, doesn't really stand up to scrutiny.
That aside, I really enjoyed The Selection more than I thought I would. Cass' writing is sometimes distracting, but for the most part I thought she told the story decently. After the first chapter, I decided not to expect anything more from this story except entertainment, and that's exactly what I got. I've never watched The Bachelor, but from what I can tell, the comparisons to reality TV for this book are pretty spot-on. It has all the features of why reality TV can be appealing.
America is a bit annoying at times, but yet I still found myself so intrigued by her romance. I hated Aspen, one of the potential love interest, so I was happy to see that America slowly warmed up to Maxon over the course of the story. For his part, Maxon is a little too perfect, but this is really a fairy-tale at heart so I'll let it slide.
Personally, I think I would have liked this book more if it hadn't decided to play at the Dystopia genre. I could have done without the rebel attacks(though I'm hoping they'll be important for the future books), and wished this book had just played up the fun angle for all it's worth. It might not be the best serious reading, but it made me giggle and squee over Maxon and America's relationship, and I think as just a fun story it does well.
Final Impression: The Selection is not that well-written or well-defined, but I liked it DESPITE those facts. It was just an entertaining story and while I totally get why people haven't liked it, the book definitely entertained me for a few hours. It's basically just a popcorn, completely-for-fun read, but I liked it all the same.
This is a simply wonderful book, with a princess nature and hidden plot line. It is about a dystopian united states, torn apart by war, that has succumb to a system of castes, ranging from 1 to 8 with one being royalty, like districts in "The Hunger Games", that force them to be either poor or rich because of restricted job opportunities. Once a prince has come to age to be married, the king and queen hold a public event that choses girls from all different castes to compete in a sort of competition for the prince. He goes on dates and such with the girls and eliminates them if he doesn't believe the girl could be the queen. A girl from caste 5, America Singer, enters the Selection from pressure from her mom and boyfriend. When she gets drawn and has to go to the castle (not a spoiler, it's kind of obvious) she has to decide if she likes her boyfriend, Aspen or if she could find love with the prince. I think it has the dystopia of "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins with the competition of "The Princess Academy" by Shannon Hale. This is my most favorite book by far.
The Selection had been on my wishlist for awhile, so I was excited when it became available for checkout from my library. I had high expectations for this novel (just look at that beautiful cover), but was sadly disappointed. The book started out interesting enough but just ended up being like a boring episode of The Bachelor. The characters are mediocre at best and the plot is beyond predictable. I'm only the teeny tiniest bit curious to find out what happens.
I liked this book, it wasn't great, but I liked it. The story pulled me in and I wanted to find out what happens to America Singer, the main character. A combination of The Hunger Games and The Bachelor, set in the future country of Illéa, Prince Maxon has to find a princess. Thirty-five girls, including America, are selected to vie for the position. They are taken to castle to get to know Maxon and as you can imagine lots of drama ensues. There is a caste system in Illéa, which also creates issues between the girls. There is also a war going on that is not explained very well, but the castle is attacked every so often. What really bugged me were the names of the characters…Kamber, Amberly, Emmica, Gavril, Maxon, Swendway…they all sound so ridiculous.
I was hesitant about this book/series. Maybe it is the look of the girl sniffing her armpit (what is that pose about??) or that fact that most critics compared this to The Hunger Games (stop doing that!), but in the end I was HOOKED.
America Singer wants a normal life and to marry her boyfriend, Aspen. Sadly that isn't how things work, nor is it that easy. Everyone is classified by a number, that number determines their jobs, pay, house, family size, EVERYTHING. It is certainly not wise for a female to marry down a class, she must set her sites higher. But then The Selection happens.
Prince Maxon wants to find love but has a hard time doing so because of who he is and the state of the nation. That is where The Selection comes in. America is hesitant because she doesn't want to try for the affection of the Prince when she has Aspen, but does anyways. That is when America's world is turned upside down. She starts to see things with a fresh pair of eyes and an open mind, wondering if she could in fact be princess one day.
I couldn't get enough of this book. Will her heart stay with Aspen? Could she possibly love Maxon and become princess? This was NOT the sappy love story I feared it would be (Matched series, anyone?). I truly wanted to find out what would happen. I was one of the better reads I have found this year and so happy I picked up the series (yes, I wait until the entire series comes out before reading/buying...).
I give this book 3.5 stars out of 5, it is such an enjoyable read. Can't wait to see what happens in the America/Aspen/Maxon love triangle!
The Selection is basically a dystopian version of The Bachelor set in a future nation on the North American continent.
America Singer is a member of the Artisan caste, fairly low in the country's class system. America is content with her life, though: she gets by using her vocal talent, and she's in love with a handsome boy from the caste below hers. When it's announced that the Selection will be held to find a bride for Prince Maxon, she's not even interested in entering. She does so because her family, and even her sweetheart, pressure her to enter -- and because she's sure she won't be chosen. But, of course, she is chosen, along with thirty-four other girls, to travel to the palace and try to win the heart of the prince. America is up-front with him: she's only there for the food (and for the stipend that her family receives while she is in the competition). But, as they interact with one another, America and Maxon become friends. Naturally, some of the other girls are jealous of what they see as America's favored position. There are dangers from the outside, as well: revolutionaries attack the palace, and the girls may be in danger of losing their lives, not just their hearts.
Okay, so it's a little bit reality-show cheesy, and the reasons for the downfall of the USA and the rise of this extremely different government are never quite explained. Even the motives of the revolutionaries are kind of murky. And nobody really believes that America isn't going to end up with the prince, right? But, despite all of that, I'll keep on reading, because it's fluffy and fun and a quick read, and I'm hoping some of the missing details will be filled in over the course of the next two books.
The Selection is the one in a lifetime opportunity. Almost everyone in Illea wants to enter except, America. Her whole family want her to enter, it could be a way for them to escape poverty. But America has already found her guy, and she wants to marry him, the only problem is he is a caste lower than her. She is forced to enter and her love breaks up with her, after seeing she got chosen to enter the selection. She knows she never wanted to marry the prince. But as it turns out she might actually be in the competition for real.
Selection is the best book I have ever encountered! I never thought it would be this amazing. I picked it up at the library and immediately thought that it looked boring. But after the first 10 sentences, I couldn't put the book down. I read it during dinner and most of my school classes. Ilearned many things in this book. One of them includes never basing a book on its cover.
The Selection is a competition of a lifetime. 35 girls get chosen from each caste, to compete for a crown and marry the most charming man, Prince Maxon. But for America, being selected is a nightmare she wants to get out of. It means turning her back on her love for Aspen, even though hes forcing her to apply, and leaving her family to attend a competition she doesn't want to be in. Whats even more frightening, is the constant violent rebel attacks.
Finally, America turly meets Maxon. She starts to develop a small crush on him and becomes more and more attatched to him. This leaves her questioning who should she choose? Aspen or Maxon?
Selection was one of the best books I've read! I didn't really expect to read so much of it and fall in love with a book that quickly. This story is obviously based on this future because of the caste system the author created in the book.
Winning the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The fame, money, food, and of course to be the crowned princess of Illea. America gets the chance to become princess, but first she must beat out the competition of the other 34 girls also who want to rule at Maxon's side. But America is not in it for the crown, she is only their to help her family get the money throughout the competition because her family are only Fives, a very low section of the nation's caste system. She also loves someone else for sure, Aspen. Her boyfriend back in the Carolina Province. At the end of this book she makes it into the Elite, meaning it is down to only 6 girls.
I believe this book is fairly decent, but it may sound weird how I put it. More than 35 girls competing to when the princes heart after getting picked for their looks. Like, guys only pick girls for their looks? That's not a good message to send out to your readers, expecially when some of them are young girls who are concerned about their looks. This book also did not have that much of rising action, so I was kind of waiting for something to happen. Nothing really even did. That is why I gave this book two stars.
The Selection revolves around the world of America Singer, who recieves a notice one day saying that the prince of the new country Illéa, Maxon Schreave, shall be holding the Selection, a competition in which 35 lucky young ladies compete for the prince's hand and the crown. America comes to think of one main reason in which she wants nothing to do with this matter, and that is the fact that she is in a secret relationship with Aspen Leger. One night, as the two decide to meet in their usual meeting place, Aspen tells America that this competition could bring her much more than he, a man supporting a family in the position of a Six in the caste, ever could. This causes the two to get into a huge argument, and later on leads Aspen to breaking up with America. With the effect of the break up and a bribe from her mother, America enters the Selection, which leads to her leaving to go live in the palace, as well as the other 34 girls. She finds making friends easier than expected, such as Marlee Tames and a somewhat formidible enemy, otherwise known as Celeste Newsome.
America Singer is a Five living in the Province of Carolina. When America becomes of age she gets a application to the Selection. The Selection is a contest when 35 girls are chosen to compete to be the princess of Illea. The prince, Maxon Schreave, runs the contest. America only enters the Selection because of her boyfriend, Aspen, said it would help her family. When Aspen thinks America will stop loving him and start loving Prince Maxon, he breaks up with her. When America arrives at the palace she is automatically a favorite of the country. America and Maxon become friends because America doesn't think she will ever fall in love with him. When it comes time to eliminate some girls, America finds herself in the Elite.
I rated the Selection 5 stars because I think this book is very well written and it is very popular for girls my age. This book was very entertaining to read and one of the best books I have read. Just looking at the cover made me wish that their life was my life. I think the author did a good job portraying each character. This book is very unique in its own way, I don't think I could have been written any better. This book is a fantastic love story for middle schoolers and teens of any age. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested.

It is the summer of 1883 and Professor Langdon St. Ives - brilliant but eccentric scientist and explorer - is at home in Aylesford with his family. However, a few miles to the north a steam launch has been taken by pirates above Egypt Bay; the crew murdered and pitched overboard. In Aylesford itself a grave is opened and possibly robbed of the skull. The suspected grave robber, the infamous Dr. Ignacio Narbondo, is an old nemesis of Langdon St. Ives.
When Dr. Narbondo… (more)
The Aylesworth Skull is a spreading, many-faceted story that forces its heroes to thread their ways alone, and sometimes at cross-purposes, through perilous dangers in dark places.

Is it bad practice in Hibernate to update an Object in a different Session than it was originally created in? I think the answer is yes, because a Hibernate Session (by default) will cache its Session Objects, and release them when the Session is closed or the Object is evicted. So creating an Object in one Session then updating it in another Session (while the Object is still 'alive' in the first Session) seems like bad practice to me. Can anyone explain why, what are the repercussions? For example, consider this code (which is shortened for clarity):
private void updateRequest(Request req){ //Request came from another Hibernate Session
MyDAO myDB = null;
myDB = new MyDAO();
Transaction trans = myDB.getSession().beginTransaction();

Hand-hooked rug
Nice rug but it was more for a child's room not a kitchen.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? I was disappointed with the colors
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality of the rug was good and I have bought several rugs from Overstock.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? I thought it would be something for my kitchen but it was more like a child's room
- Would you recommend this to a friend? No

I wish I could say that a lack of true wireless online gameplay and sometimes frustrating controls would make me want to not play Splinter Cell: Essentials. But then I would be lying. The missions and the level designs make the game so fun overall to play that it hides some of the weaknesses in the controls.
In the areas Essentials does well, it excels, but what it doesn't do well keeps it from the must buy list for all but the most hardcore Sam Fisher fans unfortunately.
The PSP has no camera-maneuvering second analog stick, making the spy's portable debut a frustrating chore. [Jun 2006, p.85]
While its interesting story ties in with the upcoming Splinter Cell: Double Agent for the major consoles, an interesting plot just isn't enough to distract us from the poor visuals, atrocious controls and long load times.
Unfortunately, due to some bad controls, oppressively dark levels, and a worthless multiplayer mode, the result is a game that is more frustrating than it is rewarding.
The game does feel rushed, but with a scarcity of militaristic shooters, this Splinter Cell title, though flawed, isn't a horrible choice for PSP owners looking for a stealth-action fix.
Controls are so poor that Sam might as well be fighting the forces of evil blindfolded. [July 2006, p.92]

May 9, 2012Amazing game indeed. Played it through holding my breath! Stealth elements are made very well, the storyline is also catchy.
NathanielS.Jul 10, 2006I just loved the game.
JordanS.May 24, 2007This is an amazing game. the graphics are very good although i found that for most of the game i had to play using night vision. I like how splinter cell essentials tells the whole story of the splinter cell saga through the different missions.… Expand
JakeC.Mar 26, 2006I have all of the Splinter Cell games and like them all. This one is basically the same as all the rest except the camera controls are a little hard to use so if you liked all of the previous SC games this one is about the same as all the rest.… Expand
BobK.Apr 19, 2006when I got this game on easter sunday it looked ace from the back. But when i started it was bad the controls were horrible and it was really hard but when i got into it it was very good. The stealth is top class. I never liked Splinter Cell games until i played this i think it has won me over!… Collapse
GregB.Mar 28, 2006The first few levels do not impress, the controls are uncomfortable at first (especially if you have been playing SOCOM and Syphon Filter), and re-loading from a Checkpoint takes longer than I would like, but... ...I am really enjoying this game! Graphics: Weak in the early, outdoor, missions - GREAT in the indoor missions. And NO framerate issues that I could find. The environments also have lots of stuff in them - not the empty rooms that you see in SOCOM (I love SOCOM, btw). The controls are fine. Really. And you may prefer the Alternative setting, which is very close to the default setting in Syphon Filter (analog stick move you, buttons on the right aim). I do fine with the default controls given that this is a splinter cell game - so I spend time stationary and looking around. Just hold down the circle and freelook with the analog stick. Works just fine, thank you. And the level design is really good. These are FUN levels and I don't feel the need for super-duper precise timing or having to have a Walkthrough handy to get through the levels. I'm on Mission 9 now (NSA) and I'm not an expert gamer by any means. I've also found how to unlock all three of the bonus missions.… Expand
AllyP.Mar 22, 2006All I can say is get Syphon Filter not this game!

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- In an extraordinary public accusation, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee declared on Tuesday that the CIA interfered with and then tried to intimidate a congressional investigation into the agency's possible use of torture in terror probes during the Bush administration.
The CIA clandestinely removed documents and searched a computer network set up for lawmakers, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein in a long and biting speech on the Senate floor. In an escalating dispute with an agency she has long supported, she said the CIA may well have violated criminal laws and the U.S. Constitution.
At odds on major contentions, both sides noted the matter has now been handed to the Justice Department for further investigation and potential prosecution. The CIA's inspector general, David Buckley, first referred the matter to Justice, and the CIA's acting counsel responded by filing a criminal report about the intelligence committee staff.
"I am not taking it lightly," Feinstein said of the tit-for-tat investigations. "I view the acting counsel general's referral as a potential effort to intimidate this staff" in the interrogation investigation.
The dispute between the CIA and senators, which has been going on privately for more than five years, exploded into a public clash as the California Democrat offered a detailed account of the Senate's secretive dealings with the CIA in an investigation of post-Sept. 11 interrogation and detention practices.
More broadly, all U.S. spy agencies have drawn intense scrutiny since revelations last summer about surveillance of Americans by the National Security Agency. The Obama administration has struggled to rebuild public trust since former analyst Edward Snowden made the disclosures. Feinstein has been one of the intelligence community's most ardent advocates, arguing that the wide surveillance of people's electronic and telephone communications was a necessary counterterrorism tool.
In the current matter, a long-running dispute has centered on whether waterboarding, a technique that simulates drowning, and other harsh interrogation techniques were factors in aiding the CIA's antiterror efforts and helped the agency track down Osama bin Laden.
CIA Director John Brennan rejected Feinstein's accusations, insisting that the agency was not trying to thwart the committee's work and denying that it had been spying on the panel or the Senate. He said the appropriate authorities would look at the matter further and "I defer to them to determine whether or not there was any violation of law or principle."
Brennan said if he did "something wrong, I would go to the president and he would be the one to ask me to stay or go."
Brennan told Feinstein in a letter in January that he took responsibility for ordering CIA technicians to audit the computer systems used by the Senate staffers -- to determine if there was a security breach.
In the letter, shared with CIA workers and obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, Brennan said he asked for the review after finding that Senate investigators may have "improperly obtained and/or retained ... sensitive CIA documents" that the CIA had no record of sharing with them. He repeated his request for their return.
Feinstein insisted that her staff members acted appropriately in following an agreement worked out between her committee and then-CIA Director Leon Panetta in 2009.
But Feinstein and the CIA also have accused each other's staffs of improper behavior. She said she had "grave concerns that the CIA's search may well have violated the separation of powers principles embodied in the United States Constitution," as well as the Fourth Amendment that prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures.
She said she has sought an explanation and an apology from the CIA. Neither has been forthcoming.
Feinstein received a standing ovation from her Democratic colleagues at a closed-party lunch on Tuesday. Several Republicans also expressed their concerns, but the Intelligence Committee's top Republican, Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, wasn't one of them.
He indicated he disagreed with her on the dispute, without providing specifics. He called for a study "on what happened so people can find out what the facts are."
"We're going to continue to deal with this internally," he told reporters.
Other senators said the dispute had a chilling effect on congressional oversight.
"Heads should roll, people should go to jail if it's true," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. "If it is, the legislative branch should declare war on the CIA."
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., an outspoken critic of the NSA practices, shared Feinstein's concerns that laws were violated in an "unprecedented invasion by the CIA into computers used by Senate" investigators, and said misleading statements from intelligence leaders undermine their credibility.

As summer rolls on, an army of novelty t-shirt-wearing Brits descends from its EasyChariot and launches a debauched invasion of European towns and beaches.
Yes, it's Stag and Hen do season, and that means sun, sea and, according to new research from leading marital affairs website IllicitEncounters.com, a hostel-full of cheating.
You may be familiar with the old mantra of "what goes on tour, stays on tour." Well, it turns out over a third of British men subscribe to it.
A staggering 36% of guys admit to having cheated on their wives and girlfriends on a Stag do, but perhaps more surprisingly, 16% of women admit to having done the dirty deceitful deed themselves while on a friend's Hen do.
Having heard that holiday cheating was on the up, FHM took to the streets to find out from some lovely ladies what they really think about what goes on when guys and girls hit the sand and sangrias…
Rebecca, 22, Newport Pagnall: "Boys are more likely to cheat. But girls who cheat, cheat twice as bad. If a girl cheats she'll do it with loads of boys."
Jennifer, 23, London: "I always stay away from guys on holiday, because I find them really sleazy."
Hannah, 20, Hampshire: "Cheating is tempting, I'm not going to lie. It's the whole holiday feeling. You kind of separate it from your normal life."
Kelly, 24, London: "You hear more about men cheating. I have a lot of male friends that it."
We have teamed up with 888games to offer you FHM Casino. New members will receive £12 totally free (no deposit needed) to try the site. There really is nothing to lose…join here

Emily Maynard: The Bachelorette Portrait Revealed!by Free Britney at . Comments
Ready to fall in love again?
The new season of The Bachelorette is just one month away, with Emily Maynard ready to dole out the roses beginning May 14. To mark the occasion, ABC has released the first promotional poster and photo featuring the star.
Check out both Emily Maynard pictures below:
Unfortunately (and obviously), her relationship with Brad Womack ended, and along with it, the dream of moving on and starting a new family with daughter Ricki.
But when one door closes, another opens, and now that she's the one handing out roles on ABC's hit show, she's ready to seek love she richly deserves yet again.
Let the new round of summer guilty pleasure viewing, wine guzzling, drama contriving and general disregard for dating etiquette and sometimes human decency begin!
Emily Maynard: Good choice for The Bachelorette?
I'm just a little confused! When she was on the bachelor she claimed she was ready for love, marriage...the whole toot but then when push came to shove she turned down Brads' proposal!!!!????????
I'm not hating on her I'm just curious!
What makes her ready now....when she was ready last year?
Somebody give me Brads contact :-)
Phony accent? She is from WEST VIRGINIA you morons! She had money WAY before the Hendricks came into the picture. I lived with her and she is sweet, kind, and stunning. Everyone who says negative things about her are just insecure and jealous. This girl is a friend - i hope she finds a man who sees the real emily! Go EM!
was at Martinsville the day Emily lost her family...... So sad, she was only a teenager. Give her a break. "just for fame and money???'Being kept by the Hendricks??? Dah Ricki is their granddaughter. Green eyed monster is coming out in alot of people!!!
I was there at the track the day Emily lost her family..... Give her a break. How do all of you know she is just after money and fame? Being kept by the Hendricks family??? Phoney accent?? Put your green eyes of envy back in your heads.
don't like her either. She is the same as Ali, just want the fame. This woman are not looking for love at all. All they want is the fame and money. Feel sorry for the man that are really looking for love and this woman only use them to get their fame. I wish they would get rid of this show.
I don't like Emily.....she is way tooooo phoney.....from the roots of her bleached blond hair to the implants, botox and all other do overs. Not to mention that phoney accent.... She is looking for more money (as if being kept by the race car family isn't enough money).....Really disappointed to see her as The B......Feel sorry for any of the bachelors that get run over by her.....She won't find love....she is too self indulged.
Obviously it didn't work out for her the first time . . . I really think this is just a ploy for more fame (and of course money). Yes, she seemed like a really sweet and genuine person, but I also thought that she was smarter than this . . .
LOVE HER! She is gorgeous and sweet all around. Can't wait to watch an old friend on TV again! Go EM!
There is so much amazing brunetes for god sake...
hopefully she finds love and it last...hard to find love on tv...
