Welcome to New York's Upper East Side, where the claws are about to come out! Blair and Serena were BFFs.until Blair discovered that her boyfriend, Nate, cheated on her with Serena! As if that wasn't enough, Serena then disappeared without a word. It was easy to follow and pretty to look at, so that's always important in a graphic novel.īasically, if I saw the second one sitting at the dollar store, I'd probably grab that out of curiosity as well, because it didn't let me down - but it's nothing I'll go hunting for in the bookstores. In addition, I also enjoyed the art in this book.

But if you enjoyed the Gossip Girl tv show, there spirit of that is certainly here. and for a buck, curiosity won out!Īs another reviewer said, it's rich white girl problems. I'll admit it, I started watching Gossip Girls on Netflix and I happened to be at the dollar store, and saw this on the shelf.

It was easy to follow and pretty to look at, so that's always important in a graphic novel. and for a buck, curiosity won out! As another reviewer said, it's rich white girl problems. One star only because I can't officially give it 0/5.more I have not read the books or seen the TV show so cannot make any comparison. And to prove my point on calling the book trash, in my estimation, (I can't believe I'm going to write this) but an example is that one of the girl's mother's gives her boyfriend a bj under a table in a restaurant. The title was a good clue, but turn the book over and the picture on the back cover is similar to something from a girlie magazine. If it weren't for the Cybils I wouldn't have read the book in the first place. The publisher recommends for Older Teens in my estimation that would be adult (18,19 and up). Follow the lives of rich high school students with no adult supervision who party, drink, smoke and sleep with each other as they plan devious revenge against anyone who ticks them off, whether it's their BFF or not. I'm not writing one of my usual reviews for this manga because, I'm sorry to say, I've never said this about a book before, but this was simply "trash". The publisher recommends Reason for Reading: This is a Cybils '10 nominee and required reading for me as a graphic novels panelist. Reason for Reading: This is a Cybils '10 nominee and required reading for me as a graphic novels panelist. Very trashy fun and I'm adding the next volume to my next amazon order.more

I wish there had been more Serena, although the scene where she and Dan are sitting in Central Park and she is hella crazy bored with him was hilarious and very Serena. Of course, the relationship between Chuck and Blair is a little closer to the TV show version than the book version. Tonally, I'd say it's closer to the books and the over-the-top crazy that happened in them. As for the storyline, the manga is very much a hodgepodge of the books and the TV show.

The book would be worth the full price alone for just the little flashback scene of baby Chuck and Blair bonding over being evil. And Chuck is always in sunglasses and an ascot. I mean, in the first scene Blair wears a literal crown on her head. I was super jazzed when I got it because it's the cheesy manga version of the greatest show of our time aka Gossip Girl.
