The Selection (FAIL)

Okay, so maybe you've already read this book, and you liked it. I did not. Here's why. I know this is a young adult book, but unlike some other people I don't think that's an excuse for boring writing. There are some pretty amazing YA books out there that are amazingly well written. The Book Thief anyone? I got past the poor prose, and even found myself getting invested in the story although it is essentially a hybrid between The Hunger Games and The Bachelor. Then two things happened. Kiera Cass made me dislike the protagonist, and the book has no resolution. You have to read the "rest of the series." Nope.
