The Selection Series - Tumblr Posts
Okay, so what is the deal with everyone expecting every book they read to be a Hunger Games or a Lord of the Rings. It's ridiculous.
A year or two ago I read the Selection series for the first time. I enjoyed it, it was cute, I may reread it, end of story. One day I was curious what the people on Goodreads said. BIG mistake. While the star reviews are good, the written reviews are pretty much for the three below reviews. As I was reading, one common thread was kind of an "Eh" reaction. Which is fine! I am not dissing your tastes. My problem is the continued comparison to Hunger Games. Most dystopian novels are "Meh" compared to Hunger Games! Hunger Games is amazing! The Selection is enjoyable. It isn't the best written, but the tropes are fun and the romance is sufficiently fluffy. That's all you need. Just like there are A movies, B movies, and C movies, there are A books, B books, and C books. Not every movie is How to Train your Dragon, not every book is Lord of the Rings.
Please reblog with your thoughts.
I’ve been trying to dissolve the castes....

being a reader on tumblr and following a bunch of new blogs when you start or finish a new series...and find a new family...and get into a whole new slew of controversy...and solidify your opinions... it's beautiful...
