Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar

   

 My october book was the first book in the Gossip Girl book series. The series follows a group of priveleged upper east side high school seniors ( Serena Van der Woodsan, Blair Waldorf, Nate Archibald, and Chuck bass. ) An unpriveleged high school filmaker from brooklyn ( Vanessa Abrahms ) and a less priveleged brother and sister from the lower west side ( Daniel and Jenny Humphrey ), as they finish senior year. I decided to read the gossip girl book series because i am a huge fan of the TV series.
    After reading the book and watching the Tv series i noted many similarities and many differences also. For instance when it came to the characters appearence Vanessa, who on the show has long black hair, dresses very bohemian and tan skin, in the book she has a shaved head, wears only black and very pale white skin. The same thing goes for Jenny, on the show she has long platinum blond hair, wears alot of makeup and is very skinny, in the book Jenny is short and chubby with curly brown hair.
     This book, was not the best in the series, it didnt really grab my interest, It's not that it wasnt a good book its just that TV show was so diffrent that it didnt really seem like the Gossip Girl i liked, but still i will continue to read the series in the hopes it will improve.
