The cover is amazing, and I really, really LIKED the book....BUT....<br /><br />I agree with your about the characters; from Celeste to Team Maxim (count me in there!). But the ending leaves a LOT to be desired. I mean, really....that's it? There isn't a page torn out? Will I read the next one? Well...yeah! I want to know what happens. But I feel cheated that I didn't get told in this book.Kim@Time2Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15107539695770047287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5812863676488818279.post-78805471479458801112012-04-19T09:22:19.324-04:002012-04-19T09:22:19.324-04:00I heard the whole drama about this book and I read...I heard the whole drama about this book and I read very negative reviews - jeeej for Goodreads - but I'm also a cover lover. I had mixed feelings, but reading your review makes me decide that I'm going to give it a try anyway :) Not very soon, but I won't take it of my TBR list. <br /><br />Glad you liked it! :)Mel@Thedailyprophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516514938771433319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5812863676488818279.post-36358798438665047502012-04-18T06:55:42.790-04:002012-04-18T06:55:42.790-04:00this sounds so good, Ive heard mixed reviews about...this sounds so good, Ive heard mixed reviews about this book but still an interesting one.

I think there's a cliffhanger and then there's an unfinished book and this was the latter. <br /><br />I hadn't heard any of the drama until after I finished the book, but I did debate over whether to post the review or not... I don't know whether I would have read it if I had known about the brouhaha beforehand.

The cover is one of the biggest things that drew me to the book initially, but I would still just love to read it. Its nice to see a good review about The Selection! =)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842593158030397473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5812863676488818279.post-1152990187675237752012-04-17T18:39:22.334-04:002012-04-17T18:39:22.334-04:00I love this cover and that alone is the reason it ...I love this cover and that alone is the reason it is on my TBR.

I stopped following the author on Twitter and ignored anything about this book. However, I think she is young and we shouldn't be judged by our one bad moment. I'm sure she wishes she could take it back.<br /><br />Cass lives in my state and I'm thinking of going to the release party. I'm surprised this novel is squeaky clean, that's rare in YA.Kat C @ Books and Sensibilityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567014032259375319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5812863676488818279.post-42207705684613284652012-04-17T17:49:13.887-04:002012-04-17T17:49:13.887-04:00Great review!!
