Trashy dystopian romance with some social justice thrown in for good measure. The same as the first part - it's bad, but it makes you keep reading. This part is a tiny bit more boring than the first. ( )

I think I liked this one better than the first, the Selection. It was less predictable. Now on to the next one, the suspense is killing me! ( )

There's so many emotions with this book, I still don't know where to begin. I couldn't put this down and stayed up till 2am to finish it. There were happy moments, frustrating moments, I laughed, I cried...ok so I didn't actually cry but there were some sad moments too. Overall this book is a roller coaster ride of emotions.

First off I got to say I LOVED America's dad. He's definitely one of the best YA dad's I've ever read about. He's so supportive and loving and he only wants America to be happy, no matter what her choice is. I also loved that he encouraged and supported her reaction to what happened to Marlee. The fact that he said he was proud of her for that made me love him even more.

Speaking of the Marlee incident, that was one of the moments that frustrated me. I was especially frustrated with Maxon and I initially lost some respect for him. When I found out what he did for Marlee later on, he gained some of that respect back but not completely. It still bothers me that Maxon can't stand up to his dad. Also, I was mad about what happened between him and Celeste. Although I'm not condoning what he did, I do appreciate getting to see some of his flaws. It makes him more human and realistic and I liked that we got to see that in this book because at the end of book 1 and even the beginning of this book, Maxon seemed way too perfect. He was the handsome, charming, romantic prince that a lot of girls fall for but by the end of this book we got to see that he was a real person too who had flaws and made mistakes and had fears just like everyone else. Again, I still didn't like the situations between him and Celeste/Marlee but it did help me to understand him better.

As for America, I know a lot of people don't like her in this book but I still liked her. The only time I was really frustrated with her was when she apologized to Maxon after the presentation. I wanted her to stand her ground, I don't think she should've had to apologize, except maybe for the diary. I could understand if she apologized for bringing the diary up on TV when Maxon gave it to her in secret but she should NOT have apologized for what she said during her presentation. The topic of her presentation is the exact topic I would have done myself and I really wanted her to stand her ground and stick with it and it frustrated me when she wavered and all because she was about to lose Maxon. That topic was too important not to discuss and if it came down to doing what's right or being with Maxon, I would've hoped she would do what's right.

Also, the love triangle between America, Maxon, and Aspen was really annoying. This is why I don't like love triangles. At the beginning of this book she was so set to be with Maxon, she had her mind made up and she going to let Aspen know. Then when the incident occurred with Marlee, things changed and I could understand why they changed and why she was confused, even I was thinking that maybe Aspen would be a better choice (like I said earlier, I initially lost some respect for Maxon after the Marlee incident). However, after a while of her going back and forth, not knowing who to chose I just wanted to scream "Pick one already!" though I obviously already know who she's going to pick. It was still annoying to see her go back and forth.

Lastly, I really hate the king in this book and I had hoped he died during the rebel attack but unfortunately we weren't so lucky. But here's to hoping he'll die in the next book!
