polotics

I feel like politics has gotten into this book, I will see if it is in the second book. I read books to get rid of politics, I don't need it in my books also.

Good plot, eh narrator

This is definitely more of a teen book but I enjoyed the plot and it sucked me in. I always pick series so the story lasts longer which is why I chose it. Fast moving, good characters, appropriate. Only reason for 4 stars was the narrator not the book. She has a computer or Google/alexa assistant style voice like a robot. I immediately dreaded the book choice in a few minutes but pushed through and eventually got used to it.

Love love love

Perfect young adult series if you are into Cinderella type stories! There was so much more to this story than the romance but I fell in love with the main couple of the story and couldn't stop listening. I have heard that this book may be turning into a movie! I sure hope that is true!

Love the Selection!

Modern times with the world in turmoil and with a caste system!
Awful to think the world could become so extreme.
