I found this book to be rather stupid because the plot was simply ridiculous. People in this book want things that they cant have and it's all materialistic ways of living. IN this book there is nothing but LUST, and no love. I find these problems to be really unrealistic and even if it may happen to be the problems of one's life, they shouldn't revolve their life around it. The problems that these people go through are so stupid and it makes me mad because they don't have real problems involvin

Whew! Break out the handkerchief for this series – not to wipe away any tears, but to dab away the sweat that will break out. This is one HOT series dealing with seven teens and the seven deadly sins.
Grace, California is a dry, dusty place with little to recommend it. (The setting reminds me of my hometown.) What the town doesn't provide, the teens themselves do as they embroil themselves in complicated plots that would put a soap opera to shame.

Once I got past the annoying lamp-shading (no writer needs to write "such a cliche" that much - I wasn't thinking it, but I am now), I became really absorbed in this book. Sure, in the beginning, the teenagers' attitudes are obnoxious, unhelpful, pitiful, and unflattering. This book feels like an after-school special, and while I was reading it, I thought, if this book takes a different direction (than an after school special typically ends) then it could be pretty awesome. I was happy

Top alpha girl Harper always gets what she wants. She want Adam, her best friend that is dating Beth.
Kane,the player, secretly wants Beth. Miranda wants Kane, even though he's Way out of her league.
And then theres kaia. The new girl. Who only wants trouble. And knows how to find it.
This book is filled with betrayal, determination, and jealousy. I loved it. You never know whats going to happen! This book is certainly a must read. People dont know what More...

Title: Lust (Seven Deadly Sins #01)
Author: Robin Wasserman
Rating: 3/5
My rating might seem low, but this book was actually really good. I won't compare it to any other similar series, since I'm quite of sick reading all these comments that compare this series to Gossip Girl. Seriously, teenage drama is teenage drama. All are the same, not just one that copies the other.

blah. this is like Gossip Girl crossed with the hills, only with poorer, less exciting people. I just don't like to read about shallow, catty girls. Backstabbing, Bad-mouting, boy stealing- 3 very bad B words. All of the characters are the oober B-word, with the exception of Beth.
The premise of a series about the seven deadly sins seemed so promising.... This wasn't total dreaditude, but it was close. Thank God it was short. The ending makes me ill. To know what happens, I'll have to rea More...

If I could, I would give this 2.50 stars. For me, reading this book could be compared to watching a train wreck in a sense...the idea of it being so lusty ("Lust" is an appropriate title) I sometimes did not want to look away (stop reading it); it kept my attention. The story involves teenagers worrying about matters and being involved in what I would consider adult relationships. The writing flows and the author keeps the reader hooked, but this is the kind of story that if I had a

As I was reading this, I was thinking "if teenagers are reading this book and thinking it is an accurate portrayal of high school, no wonder they are so confused". I kept hoping that maybe the author would turn this around and send a good message by the end but was disapointed. It's nothing but gossip, drama and trash. Entertaining at times but still a horrible message for impressional teenagers.

I don't usually dip into the backstabbing-girls-brutal-world-of-high-school genre, but gave this a try because I like some of Wasserman's other novels. Now I remember why I'm wary of that genre. The writing is fine, people who enjoy the genre would probably enjoy it, but it was really, really not for me.

This book is deliciously bad, so much so that I'm completely torn on how many stars to give it. It's a cliche rolled up in cheap day-time soap drama. I hate all the characters and yet like a car crash I just can't look away. So yeah, im in for the sequal despite the low grade 2 star rating.

I am against this book one hundred percent. I love those classical love stories that are built off of true love and not only on lust. This story makes be feel as if i am ten years old reading about girl fights over boys and such. Do not read this book it is not worth the ten dollars.

So let's get this straight:
Harper loves Adam, but Adam's with Beth. Kane wants Beth too, and Miranda wants Kane. Beth likes the new teacher, Adam likes Kaia, and Kaia will hook up with just about anyone for her own perverse pleasure.
IT'S HICKTOWN GOSSIP GIRL. I LOVE IT.

I am obsessed with this series!!!! It is all the juicy backstabbing gossip that I live for (when its not my own!) I haven't read the last book because it's not on kindle but I think I'm just gonna have to go out and by the paperback so I can find out what happens.

Well, well, well. I just have to say that this was all that the title saud. It was juciy and spilling with lust but not only with lust but with anger and so many emotinons i felt like i was there. This was a great starter to the series and I cant wai for more

This is not at all the type of book I would read if I was currently in middle school or high school. The morals are way iffy and the message...I am not so sure. However, I found myself liking it despite my best intentions to despise it!
Mindless fun!

Moved kinda slow. Kaia was too evil, the teacher thing was pretty lame, and the title was sort of unrelated to the plot. However, I thought the setting was neat and unique: a desert. Cool.

None of the characters have any redeeming qualities, and these books really don't have much literary merit, but still a fun series to read.

This is the beginning of a series that I will enjoy ---lots of teens in a drama filled dead end town. Next book is Envy, can't wait!

this book wasn't really amazing, but i liked it. i just didn't like how so many different people were talking throughout the book.

This series is amazing. The author really includes you and makes you feel like you're part of the book.
