Gossip Girl (Gossip Girl #1)

Reader reviewed by Brenda

The Gossip Girl was not what I was expecting. I assumed it was a book about high-class teens (which it is) who aren't as bad as they really are. They all do drugs and drink beer at the age of 17. But it also gives the story a good twist. It shows how not everyone is a goodie-goodie. It also is very descriptive on everything it describes. It's so intruiging I finished the book in one day! Definately should read this series.

This book was amazing! It was such a dirty, guilty book to read it almost made me feel bad for loving it so much. Almost. Also it made me feel better about the way I live my life & how I wouldn't do half the things that these people my age are doing. It's crazy! I think that anyone wishing to get out of their own life should read this book. like I said before... this book was amazing! READ IT!

After hearing excellent reviews on the Gossip Girl Book Series I decided to pick it up and see for myself what all the gossip was about. The book and the remainder of books in the series that I have already read have been all I expected and more. The books concentrate on the lives of a group of teens living the life on the Upper East Side of New York City. They shop at the finest stores, go to the most incredible parties and attend the most expensive schools. But there lives arent all that easy, they are faced with most of the challenges that regular teens in high schools everywhere face, getting into the best colleges, looking good, relationships, drinking, drugs and there home lives.
The first book in the series starts off with Serena, one of the groups friends returning from a boarding school that she had been attending for the past year. Blair the it girl, after Serena was gone, is very upset about the return of her best friend and begins to spread vicious rumors around the school along with her boyfriend Nate. I wont tell you all about it youll have to read about the gossip in the book. The story is told by an anonymous Gossip Girl that posts some rumors in a column every now and again. This book along with the others in the series are anything but boring, as they focus on these rich kids living the incredible life the action is extremely suspenseful. This series is surprisingly unlike any book I have read on this subject. It gets inside the kids lives and shows the things that you may not expect from this bunch of kids, but youll need to read it to find out what all the gossip is about.

The Clique books used to be what I would read for this sort of thing--- but I really felt like I outgrew them. So I picked up Gossip Girl. Wow-- what an improvement! The quality of writing is much better, and I am very addicted to them!! There are scandals, heartbreak,and of course, gossip :) All these ingredients are put together for a very exciting and light read. It's definitely not very thought-provoking or life-changing material, but it is surely fun and entertaining. I love the series!

Well, it was a pretty intresting book, but I didn't really think it was that good. My friends were always telling me about how great the Gossip Girl books are, but honestly, I don't think that they were that great... I think that a lot of younger girls (Ages 9-12) are reading these books, and they are highly inappropriate for girls that age. These books are about young women at the ages of 18 and there are some terms in the books that young girls (Ages 9-12) should not be reading about, or should not even know about. I would reccomend this book to the older girls, but only if they want to read about a bunch of spoiled rich girls who go to a private catholic school and go to exclusive parties. (By the way, this supports fashion magazines that have super-skinny, air-brushed models in them, and it supports that girls should be super skinny and Blair in the book has an eating disorder. If younger girls read this book, they might think that they should be just like them, wearing size 0 clothes, and whatnot. I think that girls should be comfortable in their own skin and they should not be judged and they should not have to fit in the tiniest sizes. Besides, most models are airbrushed so that they are skinnier than what they normally are.)
