The Selection Series by Kiera Cass Review/No spoilers.



     
      
         
       Oh my glob, these books are amazing. Never before did I think I'd adore a book on its views of people, politics, and love with a cover like that. Proves to not judge a book on it's cover.
       The Selection Series is by Kiera Cass, and I know it is kind of late to start on the series, but I heard that it was good, I started reading it, and it is pretty good. So, let's get started withe the review.
       So, this book is basically about America(a girl named America, you'll find out when you read it) who is enlisted into the Selection, it is almost like a competition for Prince Maxon's hand in marriage. 35 girls are entered, but only one would win.
       The idea is very good, and it is not like the evil lovey puppy books that throw it in your face, but it takes time, trying to make you think. The first book sets up this world, and the world that America lives in. It sets up the characters in a good way.
       But, in the Elite, the second book, (curse word) gets real. Politics, royalty, and loyalty are kind of put into the test. We get exposed to a rebellion going on within the land. And, then we have to put up with suspense.
       The One, is basically a finale that fits well, and there is two sequel books to the series, I need to read those next. Now, onto the characters!
       America is an exceptional main character. At some points she is the one we'd root for, but at times she just makes me sorry for the prince. She just is all over the place. I believe America has a will force, and is easy to relate to, but sometimes I want to strangle this girl and say "MAKE UP YOUR MIND, PLEASE!!!"
      The other contestants are rather good, and I started rooting for one girl in the Elite to get the crown, but then something happens that makes me cry inside. You know that preppy girl trope in books, especially in contests, well they clear that up with two characters and that made me really happy in the inside.
       Next is Prince Maxon, who I consider the secondary main character. This guy, is my favorite prince. The other princes in media and in books don't get that much character arcs, so this is a great change.
       To put it simply, he is awesome.
        I can't really talk about the other characters, because then that would spoil the book. So, that is my review on the Selection Series, I hope you enjoy this review, and that you think about reading it.

HELLO YOU! YES YOU! DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE DOING TESTS? DO YOU HATE NOT BEING PREPARED? ARE YOU JUST TERRIBLE AT TAKING TESTS? LOOK NO FURTHER THAN~ HOW TO ACE THE TEST. IT IS VERY..VERY SIMPLE MY FRIENDS! 1. STAY UP UNTIL 12 AM! NOTHING MAKES YOU MORE PREPARED THAN GOING ON YOUR PHONE ALL NIGHT WATCHING STUFF THAT YOU SHOULDN'T BE WATCHING. (you know what I mean~) 2. LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE THE TEACHER EXPLAINS THE TEST! WHO CARES THAT THEY MAY BE GIVING YOU ALL THE ANSWERS, MUSIC IS MORE IMPORTANT. (best to use rock, I recommend David Bowie) 3. DON'T DO THE STUDY GUIDE! YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT THE STUDY GUIDE IS NOT WORTH IT, YOU HAVE ALL THE KNOWLEDGE FOR THE TEST FROM SKIM READING THE WHOLE TEXTBOOK!

IF YOU ASK A QUESTION, YOUR TEACHER WILL GO ON AND ON ABOUT THE QUESTION CAUSING THE WHOLE CLASS TO BE ANGRY AT YOUR QUESTION. IT IS BETTE...

My graduation speech

(I am about to graduate from middle school, and we got an assignment to post a speech on our blogs, so here!)             Here we are, getting ready to go to high school. We are all now looking behind in the past while still looking at the future. Planning on what we are going to do with our lives. But, I have just one message to tell you that involves to everyone in this room. Make something new. If this is the one thing that you remember about me, that would be great.            In this world that we are living in today, people tell us multiple times that we should get some sort of job that we hear constantly. When we ask their reasoning behind it, they say, "It has the best payment," or "You will have a good life." The people that want to have these jobs are excited to hear this, but the others? We should all know that we are not going to live forever that we are all going to die one day. There are two types of people, t...

Favorite Food, I Guess.

               So, yesterday for class we discussed foods that we would like to eat. We also talked about what we would want for our best meal. It didn't take me that long to pick what I wanted for a dream meal because I was thinking about it for a really long time. For the fact that I was hungry.               I wouldn't get an appetizer because I just don't like appetizers. But, for the main course I have a nice lovely plan for it. I would have sushi, I like sushi. Inside the sushi would be, of course, rice, avocado, and eel maki. There would be a sweet sauce on top, along with soy sauce on the side.               Another part of the meal would be a nice lovely steak. I love steak, especially well-done steak. Along with potato wedges, or fries maybe.               Then, for desert. I always wanted to have ice cream cake. I have never have...
