Summary: A ugly duckling suddenly turned into a sexy swan princess
Review: Back in the old days, Luann used to be a grubby little kid who's always tripping over her own feet at a junior high school. She would moan and whine about the lack of a boyfriend, her zits, her weight, her looks, and her annoying baboon-like older brother to her best friend, who herself was once a nerd with big owlish eyeglasses and blahy hair. And then through more than a decade of really zany adolescent adventures with shopping sprees, makeovers, sleepovers, drug-busting, cheerleading tryouts, catfights with Tiffany the Miss Perfect, dating the school geek, losing swimsuit bras in a public pool, and nearly losing a friend to cancer, we gradually grew to truly sympathize with the poor self-conscious little "born loser" feverishly struggling and clawing her way through puberty, school, and self-image. Then - all of a sudden, Luann blooms into a very pretty, busty 16-year-old blonde bombshell with a very nice figure and a rather overzealous self-confidence. Now that she's finally in high school, she at last has a job, a real boyfriend, and...about to get a driver's license so she can get around more freely. Therefore - maybe it's time to RETIRE the strip altogether now that Luann is nearly a Miss Perfect herself. At least her overweight, less-than-ideal bro is still his funny old Oreo-chomping self after all. Nice simple cartoony drawings that most teens can relate to.

Summary: You won't laugh.
Review: But that doesn't mean it's too bad of a book. The story line is pretty decent. It's more like a serious strip like Apt. 3-G or Brenda Starr, but with a saracastic teenager. Just don;t expect to laugh and you should be ok with this book.

Summary: Forget the dailies, buy this!
Review: Can a comic strip be too good? Once you see these stories put together, and see the art enlarged, and spend some time with the characters, it's clear that this is maybe the best strip of our time. Unlike most other strips, you can read this again and again and it just keeps getting better.

Summary: Luann needs fans!
Review: Luann has been around for the amount of years that her now age is! the 16 year old is by far the greatest comic to be made, okay actualy peanuts is, but that's hard to top! we need fans to buy luann so creator, greg evans can release more editions and allow us to see her grow up from 1985 to now. if you havent purchased luann: the plunge please do, and if u have please purchase "passion, outrage, betrayal!"

Summary: good
Review: Luann's in high school. She's got a brother she tolerates, and a friend she hangs with. There's a popular guy in school she pines for, who barely knows she exists. She gets along with her parents. She can't stand Tiffany, the classmate who exudes plastic popularity and destroys the air with her hair spray.Sometimes it's a one-strip zinger, and sometimes it's a running storyline, like a trip to Vegas or a double date. It's insightful, it's funny, it's true to life. Not quite up there (in terms of artwork and depth of character) with the classics but definitely worth your time.

Summary: From an innocent but flawed child to a "Girl Power" bimbo.
Review: Now changed from a baby-faced 13-year-old kid to a 16-year-old Barbie doll, Luann looks down on men and older people, has glittery movie fantasies about herself, and chases pretty boys just like any cartoon teensyboppers those days. Now fewer and fewer people outside the idealized teen group can relate to Luann, who might as well be twin sisters to Tiffany, her once-upon-a-time rival. Heck, it won't be long before she becomes the busty, short-skirted captain of a cheerleading squad and a prom queen with her boy toy, the elusive Aaron Hill permanently at her side. So it's goodbye to pathetically low self-esteem and hello to ridiculously sky-high ego.

Summary: Sooo cute
Review: This is one the best Luann books. It addresses issues that adolescents go through with refreshing humor. I like how Brad constantly makes fun of Luann and Luann's never-ending boycraziness. I know that my friends sometimes can't stand it when I go on and on about men. I enjoyed this book, however the "connection" between Luann and Stuart never got resolved. It seemed as though he just disappeared. Still worth the read.
