[QUOTE]Haven't watch the new one yet...but I read summaries of all the books and I'm interested in seeing how close they stay to the books.

I've read most of the books in the series so far. They've made some major changes and some minor ones, but none too unforgivable. The biggest change so far is their ages. The flashback stuff happens before, during and after 7th grade in the book, mostly. In the show they made them older because, well, i would guess because of the actresses.
The only problem I have with this are the lies. For seventh graders, their secrets are a really heavy burden. As high school students, they aren't AS big of a deal, so they lose a bit of sympathy (and in at least one case, empathy) from me. I am very anxious to see how the writers deal with this.
Himes- you've got to watch!
I was doing a lot of squeeing tonight but I think thats just my mood in general tonight
Also I noticed that it was 3 years later in the book, not one. Made a bit more sense for Hanna to work off the weight and gain popularity in 3 rather than just 1.
The teacher is killing me, so cute!
Who do you think A is?
[QUOTE]Simply: I'm wondering if they'll go as far with Emily as the book did. Also I noticed that it was 3 years later in the book, not one. Made a bit more sense for Hanna to work off the weight and gain popularity in 3 rather than just 1.
Posted by nightmare_of_beauty[/QUOTE]
Oh yeah, absolutely. In the book, she spends the summer after Ali's disappearance working on her look and the three years afterwards losing the weight and becoming popular.
[QUOTE] Who do you think A is?

well, i have different (more) knowledge than you so it wouldn't be fair if I said... who do you think it is, though?
[QUOTE]I need that first book, I even checked the neighboring libraries, no luck.
Posted by nda_roxybabe[/QUOTE]
You have it on hold, though right? Hopefully it comes in soon for you!
Could you try amazon?
Haha ok, its not that big of a deal, I have other books I'm reading
I always wonder that too Roxy, I usually read pretty quick.
I read fast which is awesome but kind of sucks when I run out of books and can't make it to the library or bookstore.
I borrow from my boyfriend's little sister, though. She is 13 and is the one who recommended Pretty Little Liars to me. And she has her own copies of the Harry Potter books....
My sister let me borrow her copy of Dear John that was autograph back Nicholas Sparks and I didn't want to give it back. But I did.
[QUOTE]Fated- I'm in that boat right now :S I do have some books that are due back in a couple weeks that I'd like to get back but Its too hot during the week.
Posted by nda_roxybabe[/QUOTE]
oooh I have the same problem! I try to go early before it gets too hot (but then... well, early is just not for me, lol) or later when it has cooled down, but by the time "later" rolls around, I just tell myself, "Eh, I'll go early tomorrow morning before it gets too hot out."
It's a vicious cycle. :(
I was so excited my friend was agreeing to read the book then I didn't mind lending it to her.
I'm off to bed, busy day tomorrow! I'm taking my boyfriend's sister and one of her friends to see Eclipse... and, yes, I'm using her as an excuse so I can go. I fully plan to blame it on how I HAVE to take the two 13 year olds because they want to see it sooo badly...
night night!
*spoiler*
I think A = Jenna = Allison. in fact, I think Allison faked her own death (possibly killed Jenna herself), dyed her hair and faking being blind. wearing the dark glasses to hide her eyes so everyone doesn't know who she is. that's my theory.

I've read the first three books, I really should get around to picking up the rest of them.
I didn't know there were books!! How many books are in the series?
Pooh-- I was thinking the same thing about Jenna being A., but I didn't think about it acutally being Alison. I like the theory though, that makes so much sense.
