The Elite - Kiera Cass

So as a 'Get Well Soon' present, my mummy got me The Elite to read while I was bed bound and as I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this novel i have somehow managed to read it in two days because I am so so greedy! But it is amazing and boy will you NOT be disappointed in any way shape or form!



This book starts with a BANG on the first sentence never mind the first chapter!

"The Angeles air was quiet and for a while I lay still, listening to the sound of Maxon's breathing."

I mean Hello book two or what!!! I knew it was going to be good by the first chapter. Actually forget that! I knew it was going to be Awesome when I finished the first book and I have been DYING to grab hold of this beauty!!

This time round, I feel as though Kiera Cass has really got the reader involved by the way she has told this story. I mean I am a very visual person as it is due to the whole arts that I am into and I can picture things really easily but I must admit that I let my mind wander and I make my make believe world so extravagant but hey we don't want to know that we need to know about this book!

I think have way through this book where Marlee and her lover get punished I was so emotional, I felt sick due to what I was picturing, it was so vivid and I was so upset due to the emotions that America had that I was swelling up and then a Chapter later I really really really wanted to just punch Celeste in the face! Which thankfully Miss Cass made America do.... Violence is not the way but.... Celeste needed to be put in her place and a good slap was necessary!!  

I love the way that Kiera Cass has written her novels, they are so beautifully put together and the description in each sentence, the whole wording in this novel is magnificent and if you want a brilliant read then you need to get these books! I can not even put to words how gripping and exciting this book is! 

The adventure really has continued and their is romance, betrayal, trust issues and a complicated yet unknown love triangle going on so if you have nothing to do and you want to go and exercises your imagination get to your nearest book store or go on amazon! 

You will not regret it and that is a promise!!

Loads of Love

The Selection by Kiera Cass

So I got this book on Wednesday and 3 days later I have finished this wonderful book! Originally I was not going to get this book as it seemed too girly and I just didn't know whether it was for me but after going to the counter at Seven Stories and finding out the the book I had chosen would more than likely dissapoint me I decided that I would go and re-think my book choice and I was advised by a read-a-holic and a lovely lady from the book museum that this book was better than I would think and that I would have a real giggle. So I have to thank her very much and I am going to link you to her blog if you too are a read-a-holic so I suggest you  <CLICK HERE!>

ANYWAYS....

About the Book.

THE SELECTION by Kiera Cass

This book is the bachelor meet Kate and Wills (sort of) with a mash up of the hunger games all in one! I started reading it and I will admit it took me about 3-4 chapters to really get into the story line but once I was, I was hooked! So I guess your wondering what on earth is so good about this book right? Well.....

The selection is about a girl named America who lives in the future and there have been 4 world wars (so I guess in words this of the hunger games and how they are divided into sectors). Now in this kingdom people are in classes from 1-8, one being the king and queen and royal family etc, 2 being the rich and famous, and 8 being the homeless and needy, 6  being the help and 5 (the category that America is) being talented musicians or painters.
So if you have read or seen the Hunger Games thats pretty easy to wrap your head around.

Now everyone is getting excited at the beginning because 'The Selection' has been announced apart from out lead girl (America). Girls from all categories are allowed to enter the lottery for The Selection where thirty-five girls will be chosen to move into the palace and get to know Prince Maxon and become the future Queen. It is aired that America is one of the chosen girls and is to leave immediately. However America is in love with a Six but she is heart broken by the way he broke up with her so in not so many words she is seeing this as a holiday and a way to earn money for her family back home.

America and Prince Maxon become friends immediately after she gives him a good hiding which is hilarious to read! She sees this as good food and a way to sustain her family and in now way wants to get to know Prince Maxon but from the beginnign they make a truce and America become his confidence and they really get to know one another. And it leaves you on a totally exciting cliff-hanger!!

And before I COMPLETELY spoil it for you, you better go and pick up your copy of this book, its a really good read and I cannot wait for the next book to come out!!!

HURRY UP!! please :)
