The One by Kiera Cass
The One is the third book in The Selection series. I was
first introduced to these books by Google. I had to read on my computer one day
in class because I didn’t have a book, so I was searching Google books for
something to read. I had searched up something like ‘awesome teen novels’ or
‘teen dystopian novels’. I really don’t remember what I searched. But as I was
scrolling through the results, I saw this book called something like ‘Hot Teen
Book Sampler’. This was about a year ago, so I doubt those were search results.
Sorry. But I click on that book because it shows the book covers on the cover,
and I notice that I had read most of those books. Since I knew the other books
were AMAZING, I decided to write down the other titles and read them. I’m
really glad I did because loved this
series!
Cover- This cover
was basic and simple, but I thought it was cool. I really love the dresses that
the cover girl has worn on all of the Selection novels. That’s another reason
why I chose to read The Selection because I loved the cover. Covers are really
big for me. I judge a book by its cover; if it doesn’t have an interesting
cover, I probably won’t read it.
Plot- I love this
plot. It is incredibly amazing and original. At the end of each book, I
couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next one. I just found each and every one
irresistible. I was captivated from the start of The Selection to the end of
The One.
This book is about a “selection,” hence the title, for the
prince. The selection decides who the prince is going to marry. Girls are
chosen from all eight castes, which are basically rankings. Twos and threes are
upper class. Fours, fives, and sixes are middle class. And sevens and eights
are lower class. That’s not how it’s explained in the books; I’m just giving you
a real world idea of how they work.
Characters- I’m
not going to go into a lot of detail about the characters; I’ll just highlight
a few points.
America- I really
liked America; she seems like a futuristic fighter for equal rights. She wants
everyone to be equal, so I really like that about her. I really wanted to slap
her when she started seeing Aspen.
Maxon- If I met
Maxon in real life, I would probably befriend him. He seems like a great
down-to-earth person. I really like his ideas, and I LOVE how he stands up to
the King for America. I feel sorry for him sometimes, but throughout the book I
was hoping he would choose America and America would choose him. I loved them
together.
Aspen- I liked
Aspen, but I hated that America started to see him while she was in the
selection. I just wished that he would have gone away. I loved him as a character;
I just didn’t love him being the other guy. He just infuriated me sometimes.
Ending- I loved
how this ended. I was a bit shocked, like when they were attacked, but I did
love how it ended. I almost cried before I read the last chapter, but then I
read it and I was like “YASHHH!” with a fist pump. I don’t think it could’ve
ended better.
I did love this series; I’m sad it’s over. I really just
loved these books. I’m going to miss reading about America and Maxon. I
recommend this book to everyone who loves teen novels, but you need to read the
series from the beginning. So start with The Selection, then go to The Elite,
and then read The One. This book was fabulous.
So I did my reviews like this again. I got some feedback on
the last one I did like this, Cipher, and people said that they liked it. If
you don’t like it, let me know. I’m still not sure how I feel about it.
Oh and how do you guys like the vlogs? Should I keep doing them? Comment below if you actually watch them. I need to know if I should keep doing them.
