Review of 'The one' on 'Goodreads'

Somewhat surprised at the resolution to the series, but I liked it.

We are in the finals for the Selection, and you just know America will become "The One". But the road along the way actually surprised me. There were some frustrating parts, some sad parts, and some overall really good parts. I would say I ended up liking it enough to give it a solid three stars. Maxon was my high point. I didn't hate Celeste by the end, and America grew up, mostly. If you read the first two you will read this one to learn how it all resolves.

I kept thinking that I must have written a review already, but when I double checked I just realised I ranted and raved in the status update whilst reading the book but didn't really put something cohesive. Here's the reason why:

This book sucked.

This series sucked.

I don't know why I finished the series, except that I must be some kind of sadist/masochist rolled into one, or that my curiosity in seeing the end of this train wreck overshadowed my sensibilities. And even that was stretched thin, as I found myself skimming through Maxon's inane letters at the end (with a lot of eye rolling).

Review of 'The One' on 'Goodreads'

Im Gegensatz zu seinen Vorgängerbänden war "The One" für mich kein Page Turner. Während ich bei den anderen Büchern an jedem Wort gehangen war, habe ich hier sogar aus Langweile ein paar Pausen eingeschoben. Nichtsdestotrotz habe ich es aber an einem Tag ausgelesen, was dann doch wieder für das Buch spricht. Zusätzlich hat mir der Witz und die Romantik aus den Vorgängern gefehlt. Auch von der Traurigkeit, die beim zweiten Teil mitschwang, war hier nichts zu spüren. Von den tragischen Ereignissen kam bei zumindest bei mir kein Gefühl rüber, vor allem weil diese Geschehnisse meiner Meinung nach ziemlich unnötig waren.
Allgemein hatte die Geschichte sehr viel Potential, was aber leider nur teilweise ausgeschöpft wurde. Dabei hat mich vor allem das kindische Verhalten der Protagonisten gestört. Ein klärendes Gespräch, ohne gleich bockig abzublocken, hätte so viel Drama verhindern können. Alle sind nur noch auf sich selbst fixiert und handeln größtenteils ohne …
