Riverdale Student Handbook

Rate this book
The official guide to Riverdale High from the students who go there! The Riverdale High student handbook looks like an ordinary introduction to the high school. There's class photos and a campus map and student guidelines from Principal Weatherbee. But what you really need to know about Riverdale, can't be found in an official handbook. Luckily, Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead and other classmates have gotten hold of the guide. They've slipped in classified student records, private notes, and secret photos and scribbled their own notes with tips on surviving Riverdale High.

Say hello to the Riverdale Student Handbook, now edited by all your favourite characters from the series.

I just love the series Riverdale, though I really need to get on with watching it. I started with season 2, and then somewhere stopped, not sure why. Probably wasn't in the mood for it anymore. But this handbook is definitely making me want to continue watching. I do want to add a warning, this one has tons of spoilers to events happening in the first season and also some spoilers of earlier episodes in season 2.

Now to the book, I just adore books like this. You can see the handbook as it is, which was already fun (as I can't even remember ever having such a handbook in my high school). I loved reading about the school, about the teachers, the subjects. But then there are the edits. Things crossed out, words added, hearts drawn, and more. The edits made it all even more fun. We saw the lockers of our main cast, we saw letters and notes and photographs, every page had something. You find out about the town, about several characters from there (like the parents).

I just wish it was a bit clearer who was editing. At times I had a suspicion, and some did have a certain flair that you knew it was x character, but still it would have been more fun if the characters used different colours.

All in all, I flew through this book, had oh oh oh so much fun, and I loved seeing the characters again. I would definitely recommend this book to all the fans of the series. This is definitely one book you don't want to miss out on.

As a companion to the show, this is a fun, quick read, but I don't feel I would have missed out on anything by not reading it. It doesn't really add anything to the Riverdale universe, and it's more a collection of photos than a story. For fans of the show and collectors of its memorabilia it's worth having a copy of, but I wouldn't be inclined to read it again.

This book is a very good book! I absolutely love it! Anybody who LOVES Riverdale would find this book very great in relations to the show! This book includes images, that depict things you may not have caught from the show, writing form all the main characters to describe their options, along with paperwork describing many things in detail from... songs Archie and The Pussy Cats wrote to government paper work from Hiram Lodge and autopsy results from Jason Blossom. If you are new to Riverdale and only in the first couple of seasons I would wait until the end of season 2 to read because there might be some spoilers. I do hope however that Jenne Simon (the author) comes out with a second edition for the seasons 3 and 4. I really think this book is helpful to fulfill all your Riverdale cravings calling out to see extras from all your favorite Riverdale characters!

I just finished catching up with the latest season of Riverdale! This book was released last year, so it’s a little dated now. I still loved reading about this crazy school!

This student handbook contains information about academics and extracurricular activities. It also has editorial notes from the students, mostly Veronica and Cheryl, though some others comment at times. It was funny to read their opinions and edits of the handbooks, especially when they inserted their own documents, like autopsy reports and arrest documents.

This was a really fun book! It’s a must read for fans of Riverdale.

The Riverdale Student Handbook is fun, quick read. It's set up like an actual student handbook that has been altered by the characters of the show before it's been given to you. They've written comments on the school, characters and things that go on in town and it looks like are newspaper clippings and flyers taped into it. I would recommend it for fans of the show.

Such a unique piece of literature... The Riverdale Student Handbook is more of a yearbook, but includes the doodles and input of a number of characters. I thought it was really cool seeing more textual things from the show like the Riverdale fight song, Pop's menu, the classes' superlatives, and various advertisements in the back of the book. Such a unique addition to the franchise.

Un libro entretenido, te cuenta cosas de la primera temporada, como si lo hubieran escrito los protagonistas, no aporta mucho, pero es curioso, claro está, antes de leerlo hay que verse la primera temporada porque hay spoilers.

Para una lectura ligera lo recomiendo, es curioso y entretenido.

This is fun if you are a fan of the Riverdale show. It is very weird, but so is the show.
It is about mostly the first season, so you should have at least watched that.
It was fun and it's recommended if you are a fan of the show.

Riverdale High puede ser la preparatoria más conocida del pueblo, pero también es problemática. Bienvenido a Riverdale High, espero tu estadía sea productiva como se tiene esperado.

No puedo hacer reseña muy larga de un libro de menos de 150 páginas y que además no es novela. Solo diré que me gustó, me entretuvo y todo... pero no me dijo nada nuevo. Solo es una recopilación de datos de la serie con una edición divertida y ya. Y eso que la edición en cierto punto es incoherente considerando que es un tipo manual de bienvenida.

Ahora, probablemente me esté quejando por quejarme. Pero en este perfil somos subjetivos además de que es mi opinión así que por eso estoy aquí tranquilo escribiendo esto. Creanme, le daría cuatro estrellas a lo mucho, pero si lo comparo con otras lecturas, ya sería ser muy generoso.

En conclusión es un libro entretenido que cualquier fan de la serie podría disfrutar... pero que a muchos otros les podría dar igual como a mí. Igual se los recomiendo y más si tienen una colección de la serie.

Bogen fungerer som en håndbog til skolen – en ”how to”-guide. Der er klassefotos, oversigter over fag, regler, retningslinjer osv. Men naturligvis er der også en masse ekstra, som Archie, Betty, Veronica og Jughead har skrevet ind i den med masser af drama, sladder, hemmelige fotos, kommentarer og personlige noter. Det er rigtig fedt og tilføjer noget ekstra, som er tro mod universet.

Denne bog er til enhver Riverdale-fan, som vil have lidt ekstra om serien. I den grad en fin og lækker bog, som er flot sat op med masser af billeder og andet godt. Den er rigtig flot sat op og giver i den grad vibes af en scrapbog/blå bog.
