rock_faery_666 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Has anyone read this addictive series? It's really, really good! I'm on to the third in the series, having finished number two in a day, and can't wait to keep reading. Has anyone else read them? What are your opinions?

readingissexy Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I've heard good and bad. But, if anything, I heard the show's bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Orchid Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I may watch a few eppys of the show simply because Kristen Bell is doing the VO. Not sure if that could carry it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I watched the first episode of the show, and it was....OK. Not great. But I can't compare it to the books, as I've never read them. It's a perfectly adequate show, but I think it's going to annoy me, so I won't be watching it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 My past girlfriend loved this series. There is a TV show for it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Orchid Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 See, the premise for the show is a bit crap. Then again, wasn't the OC along similar lines, and that turned out to be surprisingly successful. Tbh, I reckon folk will tune in to watch it because it's just rife with pretty teenagers (male AND female), and that sort of thing appeals to the general public. I don't think a lot of people will be discerning enough to care though. Like I said, I might watch an episode or 2 just because Kristen Bell is the Voice of GG. Other than that, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popprincess5678 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I love the TV show, think its ace and I have read the first 5 books in the series, was a few years back I read them though so I am not critical of the things the TV show are changing!

missmellow Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I've watched about 9 episodes of the tv show, and i loved it. But as i could only watch it by downloading on the internet (in australia we only have like 10 channels, unless we get Foxtel for a price) i forgot. anywhoo, can someone list all the books in order?? I don't even know how many there are i would really like to read them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Orchid Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I watched a few episodes of the show whilst I was in Toronto and..it wasn't bad. It was actually quite decent - pleasantly surprised! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtneysadancer36 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I watched the first episode of the show, and it was....OK. Not great. But I can't compare it to the books, as I've never read them. It's a perfectly adequate show, but I think it's going to annoy me, so I won't be watching it anymore. Exactly, never read them, watched the show, what? two times now i believe. It was alright, it's kind of addicting and annoying at the same time! So many characters, so many intertwined relationships. Do people not know how teenage lifes are anymore? Hahah, drama, drama, drama! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura-Jade Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I absolutely love the TV show, it's one of my favourites. However, I do also love The OC and it's made by the same people so... I haven't read the books yet, they're just not high on my list at the moment. But, I have been told the TV show is very different from the books - the storylines are different and many of the characters are nothing like their book counterparts. So perhaps I won't enjoy the books as much as the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 That's possible, when you've seen the show first. The opposite was true for me - I read the books first and I hated the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elin Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I've not read the books but do like the show very much. a friend read some of them and said they are very different from each other. as I understand it the first book(s) is told from blair's pov whereas the show more has serena as the focus, and seeing as they don't really get along that well at first it gives them a different feel.. *rambling* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
