“Never judge a book by its cover”
This was the first thought that came out in my mind after
reading the first two books of Kiera Cass’ The Selection Trilogy. To be honest,
I am not the type of Bookworm who would buy a book covered with girl wearing
superb gowns in purely red and blue colors. I don’t even know who Kiera Cass
was until National Bookstore announced that she is coming and will be having a
book signing in the Manila and Cebu. Curious, I researched her works and got
kind of interested with the plot of The Selection. Of course, there were some
negative reviews. I didn’t even understand why the character should be named
America Singer in the first place. Weird.
Thinking that it would be cool to have a book signed by an
author, I convinced my brother to line up there and have her signed the newly
bought books. I wasn’t expecting him to do so but he did agree. He was more
willing to line up there than go with me to an orphanage where we(a Catholic
singles community) went to feed malnourished and sick kids.
Anyways, enough
with all the sidelines already because I’m going to review Kiera Cass’ The
Selection and The Elite.
The Selection trilogy is a dystopian young adult story set
300 years in the future that evolves on America Singer, the main protagonist of
the story.
