Teenagers

I know, I know the Gossip Girl books are not the most intellectual but they happen to serve as my literary guilty pleasure and I was forced to spend 3 hours on an airplane this morning (I at least only read like 2 or 3 of these books in a calendar year).For those unfamiliar with Gossip Girl, these novels are about the lives of very, very spoiled and rich high school teenagers who go to private schools in New York city. As I read this book, I kept on feeling like I was watching several of the characters make poor decisions. That said, the plot actually moved along at a good clip making this a quick fun read that I didn't want to put down until I'd finished (I started this last night and finished it this afternoon). An overall enjoyable read. ( )

Everyone graduates and has a party. To tell you the truth, I'm getting a little bored with all the partying, shopping, hooking up, breaking up, and getting back together. I mean, how many ways can you tell the same story? ( )

The characters are very free with their bodies. There appears to be no consequence for their actions. Hopefully, the scenarios that are played out are far from reality. I would not recommend this to high school girls although this series seems to be very popular. ( )

Maybe it's I have read too many of these too close together - or maybe because this is one of the ghost written books - but I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. I felt it went by really slowly - it actually took me a couple weeks to read it when usually I fly through these in just a few sittings..

Still... i am sad that I am only one book away from the end. ( )
