 | A Pretty Great Read! Jan 31, 2010 |
Gossip Girl is one of my ultimate guilty pleasures because of the fact that it's scandalous and fast paced fun. I Will Always Love You was no different, of course.
I loved the fact that you got to see all of the original Gossip Girl characters because to me, they'll always be the true ones behind this series no matter what spin-offs come to be. Also I liked how you got see how Blair, Serena, Vanessa, Nate, Dan, and Jenny have changed and grown to be characters that are more responsible and grown-up in the decisions they make. My absolute favorite character to this series is Blair though, with no doubt about, simply because I see a bit of myself in her. Sure I'm not obscenely rich or a bi**h 99% of the time, but I'm an a overachiever type who would never let anything get in my way of success, and someone who eventually wants to find that movie type love with a guy. My least favorite character in this one and the one who grew the least over the four years this took place was Nate. He seriously needs to get his head out of his butt, be able to make decisions, and GROWUP already. Some of the stuff he did during this was nothing but idiotic.
The plot, as mentioned above, was fun, fast paced, and scandalous with a capital S. I loved seeing all the different break-ups, hook-ups, and cat fights that occurred throughout the book. Sure this stuff is strictly fluff, but I love the escape it gives me when reading it.
My only complaint about this would be the fact that Little Brown didn't bring back Cecily von Ziegesar to write this herself because I would've loved to see where she would have left the characters in the end. Though, as the Rolling Stones song says, you can't always get what you want. ;)
Overall, I Will Always Love You is a must read for any GG loving girl or boy out there.
Grade: B | | |  | I like this book, but... Dec 22, 2009 |
If you, like me, were disappointed that the tv show so immediately departed from the plotlines for the books, you'll be happy to see this book on the shelves. The characters from the books are so much more likeable than their television counterparts.
That said, I'm on the fence about this book. I greatly enjoyed revisiting Serena and Blair and Nate and Dan and Vanessa's lives, but must their group continue to be so incestuous? Several years out of high school, and Blair and Serena both are still making major life decisions based on Nate's whims? I wanted them to move on, faster.
Still, I picked up this book to get closure on some of my favorite characters, and to that end the book succeeds grandly. I like the way it careens through their college careers, focusing on the times when they come together and giving us an overview of the times they were apart. | | |  | Poor shame... Dec 1, 2009 |
I always love you of the Gossip Girl novel is so lame; with taken place after the end of 'Don't you forget about me' and now they are coming home for the holidays, with the hookups and the breakups. Until year after year of year two, three and four years of the future with everybody gone out of college (by graduated); even with the hottest gossip just died down.
There's only one spoiler and everybody changing from it; seen this Gossip Girl book it's just the waste of time to read it or hear it on audiobook, it should only stick with only one year...not fast forward it around. | | | | The old gang is BACK and nothing's really changed. Nov 18, 2009 |
The entire Gossip Girl series was created to be a guilty pleasure and a "Sex and the City for the younger set" and they have achieved their goal. This latest installment of the original Gossip Girl cast is everything the others were: fun, light and breezy. It is not a book to be taken seriously, none in the Gossip Girl series is, and it is an easy read that doesn't require much thinking or analyzing.
For the first time, a book in this series follows its characters for four years, from their first holidays after leaving for College to their senior year at College. It is definitely fun to catch up with everyone and see how everyone is doing (there are some big changes with some characters and revelations that anyone could have seen coming) and to my surprise even Jenny Humphrey was a part of it, although she has her own spin-off series (It Girl).
Although some of my fellow reviewers were less careful about revealing the ending, I refuse to speak of it at all because to me the ending was not just that last chapter (in which, as you know, Blair and Serena choose each other over Nate) but it span across the last few chapters, closing in the stories of Vanessa, Dan, Jenny, Nate, Chuck, Blair and Serena. That is a very interesting and, for once, the endings for each characters seemed well written and dignified.
The book is not rocket science, its not self help, its just a guilty pleasure. And it certainly lived up to my expectations: it was fun. I had fun. And that is what reading should be all about. If you don't have an unhealthy fixation which any characters on these series then you will enjoy this book as much as I have. If you do have an insane amount of admiration for any of them then you might want to steer clear. | | |  | Does it matter whom Nate choose?? Nov 14, 2009 |
I enjoy this book very much. I know the writer didn't give a proper closure whom Nate chose but I think it's not the essence of the book series.
I know Nate said serveral times that he loved them both, but I personally think he was in love with Blair, not Serena. Serena and Nate sort of just hooked up, nothing else. You see... Whenever Serena were in relationships, Nate seemed alright and fine with it. On the other hand, when Blair was seeing someone it's like he couldn't stand it and he wanted her back. Remember, Eric? Marcus? and now Pete? I totally see them as the endgame couple.
Anyway, I don't think it would be as good if the writer just made Nate chose Blair either because he seemed to love Serena first. It's like your first love you know. He will always have a soft spot for her.
It's the best way to end like this. I love Serena and Blair relationship more than anything and I'm glad they just chose each other.
Hope this is not the last one though. | | | Write your own review about Gossip Girl: I Will Always Love You: A Gossip Girl novel
