Summary: Is it just me...
Review: ... or did this one fall short as well?Basically, during the entire story, Anna Percy is trying to ignore her feelings for Ben. That was the downfall of the whole plot. The storyline hardly moved Sam Sharpe has a bigger role in the story, for she finds that she wants to become closer to Anna than just as a friend, but is unsure of what to do. Anna's sister, Susan, has a big role in this story as well, making friends with Cammie and all. The ending was quite good though, so even though the sequel fell short, expect the third one coming out soon! It's not a terrible read, but I can't help feeling that it's a story-fallen-short from Gossip Girl.

Summary: Must Read
Review: A fantastic follow up to A-LIST, GIRLS ON FILM provides a provocative view of the glitz and sometimes unglamour of Hollywood. If you liked Rikki Lee Travolta's book MY FRACTURED LIFE about young adult and teen misadventures in Hollywood then GIRLS ON FILM should be just as fun for you. They go well together and speak to our generation. Thumbs up!

Summary: I appluad Zoey Dean for single-handidly lowering the bar.
Review: And I completely promise, no spoilers. A-List sucked, plain and simple. First you have your Anna Percy, aka WTF?-girl. She has no real personality. Sure, she's tall, lithe, blond, and you're reminded of this every paragraph, but it seems Ms. Dean has used this as some sort of excuse for having no real character personality, unless you can call "boring-as-all-hell" an attribute. You make the call. Then you have the proverbial bitch-on-wheels trio, Cammie, Sam, and Dee. As if their names and their one-syllable genericness wasn't enough to piss you off just by reading them, I have more bad news: they suck. In the first book, Zoey Dean made them out to be some sort of unbreakable trio, with Dee and Sam being Cammie's bitches. Well, here's the reality: Dee just kind of gives a bad name for blond people, as if Dee wasn't a bad enough name to begin with, and Sam sort of befriends Anna and has sexual urges towards her. Oops, as it turns out, the clique is actually not-so tight after all! Turns out nobody's afraid of Cammie either! Speaking of, I hate Cammie. She's not mean, and her dialogue just doesn't flow right. Not that anyone else's dialogue flows right, but hers is just plain annoying. Oh yeah, then there's some girl named Susan who has a big ass. She's Anna's sister with an alcohol-addled mind and trust me, you won't like her. Next, we have Ben. Oh God, he totally rescues the whole book from a fiery death. Just kidding--you'll find no personality here either! After macking it with his underaged cousin and becoming a freaky freak who stalks Anna "So-Not-Worth-It" Percy and at random points starts acting all gay and "OMG I WANT YOU BACK LOL I WANT TO BONE YOU ANNA!!", he finally gets his girl back and then they allegedly have kinky hotel-room sex. ALLEGEDLY. Oh yeah, and as for his ditching Anna excuse on New Year's Eve? Nope, it wasn't a drugged up movie star--it was his dad gambling away the family fortune! Oh yeah, and about those no-spoiler warnings? Tee-hee, I was just messing with your mind. So that's the big surprise of the book. He couldn't tell Anna the truth, even though the truth was still a lot more better than his actual lie. It like that at that point, Dean expects us to go, "Oh my goodness! What a complete plot twist! I wonder if Anna will get back with Ben? Let's go host an orgy!" But this review isn't entirely bitter. There is one good attribute to this book. His name is Adam. He is the only character who might even be interesting, but of course we don't want to see any interesting characters! We want the rich and bland good-looking ones, not the only character that might actually have a well-developed personality. Heavens no. This book sucks. Anna bitches the whole time about how much Ben hurt her. Darling, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you're smart then you should know that bad boys are bad for a reason. If you want to have someone love you for your personality and not just for what's beneath your belt, date a Carebear.

Summary: Awesome if you love twists and turns with love stories
Review: At first I thought that the A-List series was a typical boring girly hollywood book, but after this one I am hooked! Definitely check this out if you like sweet valley high. it is like a modern version of it. Anna Percy is very interesting to read about. I am looking forward to reading the third and fourth installment.

Summary: A light and glamorous comedy
Review: Did you like THE A-LIST? How about the Gossip Girl series? GIRLS ON FILM is another light and glamorous read about the lives of rich and beautiful teens. If this series were on TV, it would be on the WB. GIRLS ON FILM continues the story of Anna Percy, a New York transplant in Beverly Hills. Anna is still trying to avoid Ben and his lies, but now she has bigger problems when her sister Susan leaves rehab and comes to L.A. The other girls in school who were rejected by Ben also continue to try and make her life miserable. Nice guy Adam has possibilities, but he can't make her forget Ben. A new internship is harder than she thought, and a family emergency may cut that opportunity short. THE A-LIST plot loses some steam in this book. Readers will cringe at Anna's choices and possibly at the surprising ending. While she was determined to stand on her own feet in L.A. during THE A-LIST, here she is bogged down with guy concerns. Cammie is a bit of a revenging female catty stereotype here, and Anna's tentative new friendship with Sam seems untrustworthy as well. The setting and family issues keep this one above water, though, as readers will fantasize about having refreshments at the Beverly Hills Hotel and making movies for school assignments at a posh spa. Anna's new interest in writing should give her refreshing new goals and plots in future books, too. Anna, her family and the sparkling atmosphere will keep readers interested. --- Reviewed by Amy Alessio

Summary: Girls on Film and in Print
Review: First of all, I must admit that I love the title of this book because GIRLS ON FILM is a song by the ever-wonderful band Duran Duran. Even better is the fact that it actually fits the book. Here, we find main character Anna attempting to write a screenplay for class based on THE GREAT GATSBY. The concept of "old money versus new money" as read in the classic story applies to Anna's new world, filled with L.A. teenage socialities whose cliques clash based on who your parents are and how much money they make.
The majority of the first novel of THE A-LIST series took place in a mere 24 hours. GIRLS ON FILM plays out more like a normal book or show, following characters over the course of a few weeks. Now that Anna is attending high school, settling into her father's house, making new friends and breaking new hearts, it is a more familiar scene than the quick-boom-bang wedding-party-holiday that was the debut. It is also a little less racy and a little more character driven than the first book. Fans of teen dramas on THE WB or the book series GOSSIP GIRL will enjoy this book and look forward to the next one.

Summary: my review
Review: i loveddd the a list and was looking forward to this book for the longest time. i found it to be the biggest dissapointment. the only good part was the final 5 pages! i am now looking forward to the 3rd book but this was all pages of boring information. i hated reading about sam at all, how she likes anna is just really weird. susan and cammie is all weird too. i thought this book was going to be alot more anna and ben but sadly it was just pages of unnecessary worthless information. it was not as good as anticipated at all. the third one better make up for this letdown.i guess i will just need to wait for the 5th gossip girl to make me happy

Summary: Fun read
Review: I picked up this book looking for a semi-brainless read for brain breaks during studying. I was pleasently suprised in this book. It was brainless, perfect for beach or poolside reading, but it had some depth. The author has promise for being a really good author, especially if she fully develops more of her characters, plot lines, and side stories. Anna is a wonderful character, who doesn't have the nastiness of her Beverly Hills counterparts. Sam was also interestingly developed, she grew in the novel, and moved out of her nasty actions that were mentioned from the first book.
Cassie or whatever her name is, was portrayed very one sidedly, even though the author made attempts, very weak attempts, at showing a different side of her. Dee was a complete write-off, she is no more solid than the gloss they over-apply to their lips. Ben could have been further developed as a person, he was just a blank with ice-blue eyes sending flowers.
Susan was intersting, I would like to see more of her. And see more about the interaction between the father and his daughters. There is more meat available to dig into concerning the story about Anna's family, they sound like they have some secrets and issues that they have to work through. I look forward to reading the third book in this series, but so far, just from reading the second book first, I'm enjoying what I'm reading. Absolutely perfect for a brain break, but won't dull your mind completely.

Summary: SOOOOOOOOOO GREAT!!!!!!
Review: I really hate Anna's desisions, she totally goes overboard with the whole Ben leaving her thing. She draged it on cuz she knew she loved him and was afraid of what might happen if they get back together. Her and Ben getting back togerther is implied. I mean, everything Ben did for her in this book, She had to have know he deeply cared for her, like she felt for him. The balloons, the roses, visiting her at the Spa and the resort so he could finally tell her what really happened the night he left her on the NIP-N-TUCK. It's Juciy and steamy and at the end all you wish for is Ben and Anna to stay together forever!!
