Criticism Of Books The Selection

Won this here on goodreads. Reminiscent of The Hunger Games in some ways. Very well-written, excellent character development. Imagery was awesome. Some memorable unexpected twists and turns. Loved it - I hope there is a sequel.

The selection is a quick, entertaining read similar to the Hunger games with some marked differences. I liked that Eron, Bello, Mina and everyone else involved in the story ... whether good or bad, were believable. It had enough moments of 'why did that happen?' Or 'what caused that?' To keep me reading and guessing through out. It picks up as it moves a long, and though violent at times I would still rate it suitable for young adult audiences. I hope that there is a second!

This was an enjoyable read by an author local to me. Some of the writing could use more polish, but overall its engaging and the page count slips by quickly.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast read, and full of action and interesting characters. I read it in one sitting, keen to find out the ending.The story is one of teenage boys going through a selection process in the wilderness in order to become accepted as men in their society. It is a theme that scifi authors such as Heinlein (Tunnel in the Sky)and Haldeman (There is No Darkness) have covered. So if you enjoyed their works, this book will also be of interest.However, the author adds in

The Selection is a fast paced story. Interesting characters. Violent, but with a purpose. This dystopian work reminds me of the Hunger Games.Told from the boy's POV we follow his journey to survive the Selection. All boys must undertake a survival course, at a certain age, on their colonial planet. The rugged, dangerous, backstabbing trip is familiar. In addition, his eyes will be open to the extreme cruelty of this test, and he must decide how he will react to this new knowledge.As others have

It doesn't look good for Eron. Bello, a bully, beats him down day after day and year after year. Adults just let it happen. He hears the screams of his long absent brother in his head. To say life is sometimes not fair would be an understatement. To say that life is sometimes fair would be an exaggeration. This is a dark, realistic science fiction written by a man for his boy. This is a story that a father would tell his son in preparation for things to come. Because men must face hard things.

This book is a slightly odd mix for me, you have that well-worn plot device of a deadly game or coming of age trial, but it is done pretty well overall with the author managing to avoid some of the worst clichés of that type of plot. The world-building is good overall, but quite a lot of that may not be relevant to subsequent books as it related directly to the selection and it's setting, which is completed by the end of this first book. The characters are fairly well-realised on the whole, but
