poor blair waldorf! this book is so tragic and alternately should be titled, 'revenge on blair waldorf for being brunette, short, academic, and not really a scheming bitch at all.'
in a mere 200 pages or so, here is what happens to poor, unfortunate blair: (1) her unfeeling, oblivious mother announces she is getting married to a cheesy perv she's known for 3 months, (2) said wedding is to take place on blair's 17th birthday, (3) oblivious mother asks blair's arch-nemesis serena van More...

Compared to the Gossip Girl series on television, the enormous book series definitely exceeds the level of drama and action tremendously. Following the lives of the rich and "famous", gossip girl tells all. Although, totally cheesy and at times predictable, this book keeps my attention and relates the rich girl's problems to the average teenage girl's. As Blair and Serena go through lots of arguing, fighting, and disputes over boys and the past, the people around them move on and onto

So I tried to read one of these a couple years back and was horrified. Don't get me wrong...I still am. What's different now is that I have been an avid watcher of the TV show. So I read this yesterday and I can say that I 'get' it now. I can't really put into words why it's enjoyable, but if you have any capacity to enjoy Gossip Girl I can assure you it's worth it to just give in and get on that bus.

Lifestyles of the rich and shameless should be full of partying and good times, but Serena, Blair, Nate, and the not so rich Dan, Jenny, and Vanessa are anything but. Sure, good times are had, but drama is the main course on the menu. Dan is stalkerishly in love with Serena, while she’s just looking for some friends. Nate and Blair are growing further apart with every passing minute as Nate’s eye begins to wander to…Jenny? And Vanessa is still hopelessly in love with the ever unaware Dan. Someon

I really only picked up this book because it was within reach and my current choice of reading was in another city. Needless to say, this was read within a few hours at a time over the span of a day. Very easy read.
There really isn't much for me to say about this book. I am not the target demographic at all. I am not a teenager, I am not a tween, I am not some socialite or some wannabe-socialite. I am not even a fan of the TV show. I might have watched a quarter of an episode.

This book is called "You Know You Love Me" by Cecily von Ziegesar. These books are realy addicting and fun to read. iIt talks about uppereast side teenagers. But they aren't the typical teenagers. These are high classed people who can basically live the life that they want to live with the exception of all the gossip that goes around. In this book Dan Humphrey falls in love with Serena. He liked Serena for a really long time but never approached her until their senior year. Serena and

Thoughts: Let me first start by saying that I love Gossip Girl, the series. I’m a Chair and Dair fan (yes both) and I despise Serena. Thus, by the guide of my love for the show, I picked up the first book in the series last year. It was a fun read (as expected) and I enjoyed seeing how different the book was to the series. So this year I picked up the second book, and this is what I thought of it.
Although I did enjoy the book, it really vexed me that it was different to the series. I More...

I chose this book for summer reading because I love this drama. I was interested in this book since I first watched this drama, but I had no opportunity to read this. However, when I saw this book in the library, I borrowed it at once. Even though there were some differences between the book and the drama, I could easily imagine the characters. I could sympathize how they feel because all people in this novel are almost same age as me. This book contains love, family issues and the course of lif

So, von Ziegesar is actually a terrible writer, and it's really annoying to be constantly reminded of the events that happened in the first book, but the experience of reading these books parallel to the TV is sort of an experiment in narrative that I'm getting off on-- the book characters are the hyperbolic dark "others" of the TV characters, both more menacing, empty, and one dimensional. There's a complete lack of moral centering in the book (whereas Rufus more and the characters t

I really didn't like much of this book. From the swearing to the sex, the life these kids led seemed so stupid and useless, just another bunch of dumb superficial teens and their high school lives.

New York City's elite teenagers are at it again during their senior year of high school.The book is full of lies, scandals, and gossip that spreads through the notorious Gossip Girl who seems to know everything. Blair and Serena, the main characters and best friends, both have their minds focused on boys and fashion. Nate, Blair's boyfriend, falls in love with a young freshmen and Dan becomes obsessed with Serena. Through all the parties and popularity, the friends are also trying to apply

Wow. Okay so, let me start with describing the characters:
Nate is the usual cheating-on-Blair-with-Jenny-at-Blair's-mums-wedding-in-Blair's-time-of-need!! Dan is the love sucker poet who doesn't know what the definition of stalker is! Serena and Blair are Serena and Blair. And Chuck is pretty much absent in this whole entire novel (the only thing I even remember him saying was at the wedding and he asked Serena whether she was going out with Nate or Dan).

This book is awesome its great because i also follow the television show and its really nothing like it. Dan is an arty poetic depressed utterly in love with Serena type boy but Serena won't give him the time of day. Nate and Blair are rocky we do not know if they are going to make it because of Nates wandering eye to Jenny (Dans sister) !!!!! Vanessa is still in love with Dan but dares not to admit it. Chuck Bass who is my favorite character is just being is old girl loving self but I know he h

these gossip girl books are seriously disturbing and hilarious. the half-affectionate, half-scathing send-ups of teenage boys are dead-on, and the exasperating, ridiculous, narcissistic behavior of the girls is accurate and alarming. The name-dropping of nyc people and places is, by now, sadly dated, but the atmosphere is still gratifyingly right. There is no moral code at work here, though I can't stop myself from looking for one, given the target audience. It's cruel, but it's also realistic,

I felt so bad for Blair this entire book. And Nate is a complete jerk in the book series, he's such a great guy in the television series. I've noticed that Chuck isn't in the books very much, which I don't really like, I kind o like Chuck, in a way(well, at least in the series I do, when he's with Blair and so sweet). Ziegesar's writing is still pretty poor. For a few pages she seems to forget that she can swear, so when she remembers, she swears at least three to five times on one page(has anyo

The second book in the Gossip Girl series. Again, written like a blog where the anonymous author takes email from readers at the end of each chapter. I have some guesses as to who the Gossip Girl is, but I do enjoy the mystery of it.
Again, a pretty light read, nothing serious. But still, enough draw to make me reserve the third one in the series.

I read the first book, years ago, before it became a TV show. I couldn't get into the book. So skipping ahead to nine years later and I resisted the show; purely because I thought I was above it and wouldn't demean myself to watching it. Now I'm hooked on the show.
The books were made clearly to be fluff pieces and entertain the salacious gossip of the rich we all covet. Yet taking serious events and making them relatable to teenagers. It did it's job and I can't wait to read the othe More...

I am slightly embarrassed to admit that I read this (especially since the library copy has the TV cover...) The Gossip Girl books bear little resemblance to the show and I have to say their appeal for me is more nostalgia than their mindlessly campy contents. Gossip Girl is set in my old neighborhood and haunting my old haunts are the vulgar, entitled Mean Girl boogeymen of my childhood. I know those apartments, bars, restaurants, stores, libraries, and social types and their foibles make the

After reading the first book ,it made me want to read the second one quickly.I enjoyed how everything it was set up in this book. What really shocked me was the turn events that has happened to Blair. She always seemed so perfect until she was interviewed for Havard. Foreshadowing that she has a slight chance of not getting into her dream school. As this happens new love occurs with Nate and Jenny, worst of all Blair gets terriable angry with this news. I thought it was pretty decent but sho

I read this so I could continue to badmouth these books knowing what exactly the problems with them are. You know, with the amount of (cigarette) smoking in these books, especially indoors, these books could not take place now. But then there's Gossip Girl on the internet, but not all the characters appear to have or properly use their cell phones. The time period is a bit bizarre. And the characters are insane. Everyone sort of has the same collection of problems. I don't recommend these

This book kind of clarified some unanswered questions that I had from the first book, but not that much. I didn't like the ending of the book that much because it was really aburpt. I thought it really didn't the book real closure. But it was decent to lead to the third book. I liked it because it highlighted more the main characters then the supporting charcters like it did the first book. It was more developed then the first book.
