I can’t get past the name America Singer. I know people are legitimately named America, but the fact that she’s got this name and lives in a distopian society (though I can’t see much distopian about...

I embarrassingly (but not really) am eating up this premise with a spoon. If only because growing, Queen Esther was my favorite biblical figure ever. Though it’s CW and they don’t have a rep for...

Uhh…not liking this very much. But it does have Aimee Teegarden and she was a blast on Friday Night Lights, so I’ll check it out to see how it goes

Esther from the Bible was a big influence? Uh, does that mean her main character is going to kill the prince? I hope not, if only because if that’s actually the case she should have said “SPOILER”...

Really? They should have put her name in bold. I know she’s not personally responsible for FNL but if I’m willing to watch Battleship I should give The Selection a chance too. My love of all things...

Guys, I think you’re all bashing it too much without giving it a chance… I just read the entire book in one night, and it’s nothing like you’re all saying. *spoilers* She’s not all “yay!” when she...

Indeed. This author/publisher’s response to the first review is disturbing: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/231455953?page=6&utm_medium=email&utm_source=comment_instant#comment_43376093...
