#SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE READ-A-LONG discussion

OMG! WE HAVE REACHED THE CONCLUSION OF BOOK ONE! HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT THE ENDING? ARE WE EAGER TO PICK UP THE NEXT BOOK? *does a fantastic ninja move for no apparent reason*

Overall, I enjoyed this book immensely. It doesn't have the most original plotline, but I loved the romance aspect of the story. America and Maxon are such a sweet couple, and I personally believe that they should be the ultimate couple when this series concludes.

For me, Aspen and America's relationship is mostly physical. I mean, really, when Aspen finally gets her alone, the first thing he does is pounce on her lips! xD I don't dislike Aspen, for his genuineness at the beginning of the book solidifies the fact that he is still a generally good person, but he doesn't seem like the best option.

One comment though: That whole Brenna "fell" excuse was slightly ridiculous. Does one really need to wrap their arms around someone's waist to help them recover from a fall?
But if he is being truthful then HEY! He saved a poor girl from toppling over and possibly cracking her skull! :D

I hope that we'll delve more into the world in the following books since we did focus an awful lot on the romance. GO ELABORATION! I want to know more about the rebels, as well as figure out if Maxon's theory about them looking for something in the palace is valid. Maybe it's a gem... or an old scroll... or a mirror! I don't know. I'm thinking about all the repetitious images of that one girl on each of the book covers. :P

Anyways, the ending definitely left me wanting more. I fear that if America continues to be this indecisive that Maxon will grow fond of another girl in the Selection. I also want to know why Marlee is so desperate to stay. I can't wait to pick up the next book!

overall i enjoeyed this book as well it kept me awake for some time just to finish it so thats already a plus ; D

i totally agree with everything you ssid (as always hehe xP) i want maxon and america to be end game!!

i hope now that they see obly the elites left we dont only get to know the rebels but also the royal family and i still cant wrap my hand around te system of this world maybe we'll learn more in the next one

as much as aspen seems nice and all i still dont feel anything for his relation to america i was even mad when they started fooling around like come on how about using your mouths for talking just for once!!

anyway as i said really enjoyed this book and i am eager to start the next one!!

yeah instill think the brenna explanation is a little weird but oh well

i wanr my big celeste show down!!
and i wanna know more about marlee!
