Summary

Thirty-five beautiful girls. Thirty-five beautiful rivals…

It’s the chance of a lifetime and 17-year-old America Singer should feel lucky. She has been chosen for The Selection, a reality TV lottery in which the special few compete for gorgeous Prince Maxon’s love.

Swept up in a world of elaborate gowns, glittering jewels and decadent feasts, America is living a new and glamorous life. And the prince takes a special interest in her, much to the outrage of the others.

Rivalry within The Selection is fierce and not all of the girls are prepared to play by the rules. But what they don’t know is that America has a secret – one which could throw the whole competition… and change her life forever.

Critic reviews

"Reality TV meets dystopian fairy tale in Kiera Cass's delightful debut. Charming, captivating, and filled with just the right amount of swoon!" (Kiersten White, New York Times best-selling author of Paranormalcy)

narration was a bit robotic...

....but i got used to it.

i like the story regardless of tbe narration. 'hunger games meets the bachelor' is what i daw on reviews before and it is the perfect way to describe this series. its a cute dystopian romantic comedy and very easy listening/reading.

I enjoyed the second book in the series and found it very difficult to stop reading or listening. I liked reading as the story continued and the love triangle continued. I loved reading about America and Maxon and found myself wanting the next time they would meet and America would realise her true feelings for Maxon. I did find America a bit annoying at times as she seemed to keep dragging them both along a bit too much. I found it was also a great book as you start to learn alot more about the other girls in the selection.
It was a great book cannot wait to continue in the series and find out what happens next. Xxx

Not a great narrator… but great story

Absolutely love the story however, I found it very difficult to get into it due to the narrator. Her voice is very monotone and emotionless; like a robot.

Hard to listen to but a good story

In my opinion, the narrator was not good at all. I found her very difficult to listen to and it took me so long getting into the story because of that. The story was good but I’m extremely disappointed by the ending. Overall, not great. I expected more. Will give book 2 a go just so I can find out what happens next!

Great

My teenage daughter loved the books of the Selection Series and was definitely not disappointed by the audiobooks! great adaptation and although the narration can be a little annoying at times, the different voices are clear enough and add to the story.

Reader is poor but story is nice

I have the hard copy of this book and it is really a nice light reading. But I really dislike the reader. Sounds like a computer generated speech.
