great read

the gossip girl books are fun to read. i don't like some of the casting for the show but i think blair(the girl who plays her) is cute

I loved the 1st book....

Read it when it first came out... However, i'm not satisfied with the cover from the new tv series. These actress do not convey the way i imagined Serena & Blair to look like. I have the complete series and in none of the book cover you get to see the face of none of the girls and i was very pleased with that.

Great, Great Read

I started watching Gossip Girl on TV and loved the show, so I decided to give the books a try. In 3 days I have read 4 of the books. I am truly addicted. I have one to finish and 5 more arriving tomorrow!

A word of caution. IF you have younger children you might want to monitor these books. The content and language is mature. I am not saying censor them because, people who censor their children are dumb, but read the book so you can discuss it with them.

If you are mid to late 20's like myself you will love these!!!

Welcome home Serena.

Serena's come home after getting kicked out of boarding school and everyone wants to know if the rumors are true. Was she pregnant and did she leave her baby in France? Is she really dealing drugs with her initial "S" stamped on each pill? And what's up with her clothes? Is she getting them from a homeless shelter?

All Serena wants to do is hang with her friends and have her old life back. Unfortunately, her friends and old life don't seem to want her back. But don't waste any time feeling sorry for her. She's still rich and gorgeous, and manages to draw the attention of two photo-artists who ask her to model for them and then plaster the city with her pictures. (Well, pictures of some part of her. No one's really quite sure which part, though. Belly button, maybe?) Anyway, she also manages to make new friends and shows signs of adding some depth to her otherwise shallow world.

Don't expect to walk away feeling enlightened after reading this page turner, however. It's not great literature, but it is entertaining and a breezy bit of escapism, much like its tv namesake. Fans of the weekly drama will note some character differences: the names are the same, but physical descriptions, personality traits and economic status vary - most notably in the characters of Dan and Ginny Humphrey. Dan is a little more gritty and angst-ridden and Ginny doesn't look so much like Barbie's little sister, Skipper.

I rated the book five stars because I really enjoyed it and plan on reading the rest of the series. Would I recommend it to you? Well, if you're familiar with and enjoyed Morgan Burke's Party Room trilogy, Melissa De La Cruz's Blue Bloods or Hobson Brown's The Upper Class, you'll probably like Gossip Girl, too. They all center around spoiled, rich kids - or, in the case of Blue Bloods, spoiled, rich vampires - and the dirty secrets that sometimes even money can't hush.
