this book is so good, i litterally zoned through it!

This is the second book in the series, and a good sequel! I enjoyed reading this.

The Elite is the sequel to The Selection and it is just as amazing as the first book. The Elite should be read after The Selection. The plot thickens as America runs out of time to make an extremely difficult decision. She has to choose between Prince Maxon or her first boyfriend, Aspen while still competing with five other girls. I loved this book because it was very interesting and although it wasn’t as fast paced as the first book, there was a lot more character development and background added to the story. I would recommend this series to teens interested in reading a page-turner. On a scale of 1-5, I would rate this book a 4. Analisa, grade 11, of the Yorba Linda Teen Book Bloggers

The Elite is your stereotypical teen book that is predictable and cheesy but is still a fun and quick read. It is the sequel to The Selection, telling the story of a prince choosing a spouse from 35 girls. In the Elite, 29 of the girls are sent home and only 6 remain. America, the main character who is the narrator of the book, is torn between the prince she is supposed to pursue and her first love who she has known for a long time. There are some plot twists, but they are the kinds that you can always see coming. Packed with dialogue, this book is extremely easy to read, but sometimes the language is so cheesy that it’s hard to picture someone actually saying it in real life. In other words, this book is in no way a portrayal of real-world emotions; it doesn’t have any academic value in it, and it has a plot sculpted from the mold that teen books overuse. Nevertheless, if you are simply looking for an easy and light book that you can breeze through in a matter of days, this one would not be a bad choice. I would rate this book a 2/5.

I liked this book because there was more action in this one than the first book wich I enjoyed. But it is not my favourite out of the two. I would give this book a 4 and a half out of 5 stars.

Received Spanish ebook edition instead of English. My Spanish is good enough to order food, not to read YA novels.

Lots of awesome political butt-kicking, very satisfying, lovable main character.

OMG This book is Awful
Kidding this is one of the best books I have ever read. It is worth the wait! this book keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I even got one of my teacher's hooked on these books she cannot put them down!

It's poopy.

Jk. It's FANTASTIC.

Good story, but I began to dislike all the characters. Maxon always talked like a fkboi so when he explained his relationship with Celeste at the end, I couldn't have been validated more. The things that made America stick out in the beginning of The Selection now made her publicly unpopular and a disappointment in my eyes such as aggression, impulsiveness, spitefulness, stubbornness, unrefinement, and inability to read the situation. I have personally encountered undesirable people like this in real life so I felt especially annoyed at how America came to show her true colors.

The story was still very engaging as there was many more trials of competition and rebel attacks. The tension was much more heightened so I felt it difficult to put down this book as I am very much addicted to drama llama.

good "brain candy" reading
