The Cliquetionary is just like a dictionary, (you get it from the -tionary part) but instead, it's all about the PC. It has a test of who you're most like, advice on shopping and the likes, fiery comebacks, and a clique dictionary (obvioulsy for words you may not understand) in the back, like LBR (Loser Beyond Repair) PMS (Presbytarian Middle School) and other words.

I liked the Cliquetionary because it gave advice on shopping, makeovers, and other things. Also, there's a part in the back where Lisi Harrison put some of her favorite title rejects. I thought it was pretty cool. It's a bonus, because I guess you could read it no matter which book you're on. And, it gave a definition of some words the books didn't explain that clearly.

Not exactly the book for you if you're looking for something that will cause you to actually think. This is basically a book of terminology used in the Clique series. It's more like a dictionary, not a book. It takes approximately 15 minutes to read, tops.

A little fun informational background book on The Clique. It includes quotes, tutorials,abbreviation meanings, quizzes, help on etiquette; shopping; success, and background info on characters and story.

A cash grab, don’t bother.

A very ah-dorable companion guide book to the Clique series!

While it's not imperative to read if you're interested in the series, it does offer a lot! Some included sections: a bio page for each member of the pretty committee, a web of all the girls and their crushes/boyfriends, the best comebacks in the series (mostly from Massie as she is the comeback queen), quotes from the series pertaining to different topics like boys and shopping, rejected book titles, and yes, a cliquetionary comprised of some of the most used words and acronyms the girls say.

I will always love lore and guide books like this for long running series, they look great on the shelf when set up with the entire collection and they're an interesting piece of merchandise to have!

I was introduced to the Clique series by a friend on a forum. I read the books, and they weren't unbearable to get through but obviously not a classic either. This book is shallow. There are numerous acronyms, and it is clearly targeted towards the pre-teen demographic (9-12). I usually allow for leniency in the ratings I give to books depending on their target audience (as I read everything, and not everything is targeted for me, so I understand I may not like them all) but this book is clearly only for those who are die-hard Clique fans, who worship them and have read all the books. It's not meant as a stand-alone.

My point? It only takes two minutes to get through, but that's two minutes of your life you won't get back. It's mostly just things copied from inside the series anyway, and is in no way beneficial if you read it. Don't feel you have to read it just because you've read the rest of the books. Trust me, you're not missing anything.

The Cliquetionary is a easy little guide to the Clique series by Lisi Harrison. The Cliquetionary is all about the PC with little quizzes, abbreviation meanings, quotes, etc. It's an easy read with some background information about the Clique. Something easy to past time if you wanna know more info about the Clique but nothing that will blow your mind.

I learned so so much from this book, and I feel like it has greatly enriched my life. I now know the meaning of LBR (loser beyond repair), which glossip girl flavor will make the boys go crazy when we lip-kiss, and many new fashion tips and sassy comebacks. Definitely ah-mazing!

First of all, I really want to thank the Lord for allowing me the opportunity to read this book. This book was cute! It definitely brought back so many memories of the Clique. It made it hard to imagine that I once liked this series. All in all, I'm glad I got around to reading it.;)

Quick read. I thought it was really good. It had all kinds of stuff in it. Not worth buying, but you should get it at a library and just read it there if you want to skim through it.

[Danielle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Full color book compiling the cliques best comeback, interviews, rejected book titles, and a lot more. Good if your a fan of the clique books. Was a very quick read, it took not even an hour.

A cute little guide to the Clique, including trivia, quizzes, Massie's best comebacks, etc. Took less than 10 minutes to flip through, though. Glad I got it from the library.
