After reading this absolutely fantastic memoir, it has morphed my perspective on a situation that goes on all the time that I've never really given much thought to. This was an absolutely FANTASTIC book, and I highly recommend it. :)
Okay well, I really liked The Prince. I loved the scenes where we got to see Maxon and how he was handling things rather than how the girls THOUGHT he was handling things. But at the same time I kind of wish the entire story focused on scenes we didn't see. All those times Maxon was with the other girls. It kind of bugged me to be reading things just to see that America's assumptions in The Selection were accurate. More so it was just me thinking why did I have to re-read that?
The Guard I felt gave the reader more insight to what was going on outside of the Selection but still within the palace. As much as I can't stand Aspen and America, it was nice to see Aspen's point of view on things. There were a lot more behind the scenes...scenes in the Guard, so I liked that more.
Overall it was good. I probably should have read this before reading The One, because The Prince and The Guard take place in the first and second book, so knowing what happened was a bit confusing.

How can anyone not fall in love with Humans of New York? The bits of peoples' lives you learn from the very short connection you have with their photo and quote on the page is so powerful, and this book really brings people together from all walks of life - we're all just people.
I wouldn't ever say that this was the best book ever. But it was cute. The storyline was really simple and it took me a while to even read the whole thing but it was pretty decent. I can't complain about it.
I love the cover and how gorgeous some of the writing is. There were some beautiful sentences throughout but I have to say the plot was fairly predictible. I loved the way it ended though and this was definitely a cute read.

It's been way too long since I reread this beauty and I can't believe how much I had forgotten.
First of all, this is absolutely a younger teen book. Now I'm thinking more preteen than I was when I originally read it (being a preteen, thinking I was reading such a young adult book). That being said, it's phenomenal. Still a stand out favorite for me.
The beginning was much slower than I remembered. I realized instantly how simplified the writing style was and I was disappointed - I remembered it being so in depth and detailed.
Then I got about halfway through and I couldn't stop reading it. It may have been simple dialogue and sentences but who cares? The plot was so solid and the characters were so great, I fell in love with this book all over again.
It's been a long time since I reread this favorite but I'm so glad I did. I wish more people would read this book - even though it is targeted to a younger audience (which I now realize as a 21 year old), this book is still a classic that could stick with someone for the rest of their life.
