The V Club

Summary: poor excuse of a book!
Review: How many ways can I spell this out? This book is sooo bad. It went on too long and not much happened. The story is basically about four friends, Eva, Kai, Mandy and Debbie who want a scholarship left behind by a wealthy woman in Ardsmore, Pennsylvania. They start the V Club. Tensions rise when a cute boy joins the club. My brother says, "that these four dimwits are soo stuck-up and stupid it was funny. The plot was sooo cliched and the twists made me roll my eyes. The whole book is soo fake. The book went on for too long and the characters never learn anything. Good for promoting abstinence, but that's about it. Also I did my research and there is no Ardsmore, Pennsylvania! There's an Ardmore, Alabama--maybe Brian got it confused. Anyway, me and Missy borrowed this from the library--a good think too because I just want to say it loud and clear, KATE BRIAN CANNOT WRITE--PERIOD!!! Her awful attempts at teenspeak is just too painful to read. I hated Eva and Riley the worst in the book. They are so arrogant and self-centered I wanted to slap them. In my opinion, Debbie should've gotten Riley, not Eva. But Debbie is a cool chick and she doesn't need stupid Riley or Danny. She can do much better than that! Missy threw the book down after Riley came in. I don't blame her. I would've too, but as usual, I have to read the whole thing to decide whether I liked or hated it. I hated this book! Not worth the paper it was written on and NOT worth your money. Borrow it instead. Better yet--skip it." Wise words from my brother James Doyle and Missy Doyle. Over and out.

Summary: LoVeD iT <3!
Review: one of the greatest books i have evcer read. it discusses almost every topic imaginable. one of the reasons i loved this book was because it discussed sex and what can happen after you have it. Mandy did it for the wrong reason and this book can show girls the bad effects of having sex. it showed how girls can work hard to get what they want. it shows how firends help friends out when their in bad situations. it shows how doing things another person wants you to do can hurt you. this book show inspiration, determination, and much more. it's easy to read and discusses all sorts of types of situations. it was really inspiring.

Review: So the plot isn't so realistic; some of the twists made me roll my eyes. But girls will identify with the characters, and it's a pretty accurate depiction of what life is like for a group of friends in high school. A fun read, but pretty fluffy. Don't expect literature, but Kai, at least, will keep you amused. She's got a tongue on her, that girl!

Summary: Woohoo! A Great book for girls!
Review: The V Club by Kate Brian is an excellent book that I really enjoyed. Kate Brian covered subjects in her book that almost all high school girls will go through. The subject matter of the book, the V Club is a group for students who, "Exemplify purity of soul and body" or in other words must be virgins. The club is started when a local woman, Victoria A. Treemont dies and leaves a $160,000 dollar scholarship to any senior of the Ardmore High senior class who can meet the requirement of purity of soul and body. This taken in several different ways, some think you actually do need to be a virgin though aren't sure how this will be proved and others take it as a metaphor.
The main characters, Mandy, Kai, Debbie, and Eva, all best friends apply for the scholarship. For Mandy this is just a backup for her wealthy family. For Debbie this is a backup should she not be admitted into fashion school against her father's wishes. For Kai and Eva this is a chance to go to college where they want.
Though Debbie's reputation and Kai's dark secret could prevent them from the scholarship their applications are still turned in.
The scholarship tests the relationship between the four girls especially when Eva and Debbie like the same boy in The V Club. This makes both girls frustrated when Eva just wants the first boy she has ever liked and Debbie likes the first boy who doesn't like her as more than a friend. So, who will get the scholarship? Will they stay best friends and who gets the Guy? Read this book to find out.

Summary: Great Book!!
Review: The V Club by Kate Brian was an amazing book that I thoroughly enjoyed. It covered subjects that are true and that most girls will go through in their high school lives, even though they won't come up in the exact way that they did in the book. Not every girl will compete with her four best friends for a scholarship worth $160,000, but she will most definitely compete with her friends over something. Girls will also not question if they want to lose their virginity in the way that Kai, Mandy, Debbie, and Eva have, but they will most likely question it at one time in their life.

This book is about a woman by the name of Victoria A. Treemont who gives away a scholarship worth $160,000 dollars, and bases the winnings on someone who has "exemplified purity of soul, body, and mind". This is taken by the town that whoever will win the Treemont Scholarship must be a virgin. But some of the candidates don't take it that way. Even if they are a virgin, they think that the scholarship is meant for someone who has made the right choices in life, and has done a lot for other people as much as they had done for themselves. So, the group of girls consisting of Kai, Eva, Mandy, and Debbie decided to apply for the Treemont Scholarship.

This competition tested the relationship between each other, and made them question the purity of themselves. With Kai's dark secret, was she good enough for this scholarship? Was Eva going to be able to make herself happy, and was winning the scholarship going to do it for her? How was Mandy going to choose between trusting her boyfriend and her chances at Princeton? And was Debbie's reputation and her dad's wishes going to keep her away from her fashion dreams? Let's just say that it all turns out good in the end, but you'll have to read it to see.

Summary: a fun, surprising read
Review: The V Club is started when a group of high school students vie for a scholarship to be awarded to someone on the basis of "purity," among other things. What does that mean? No one knows for certain, but friends Mandy, Kai, Debbie and Eva think it may be about virginity.

In the same style as the popular SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS by Ann Brashares, this story follows the four girls on a rotating basis so readers see their points of view individually. They each need the scholarship for college in the fall and grapple with certain issues.

Mandy was just getting ready to take things with her long-term boyfriend to the next level. Kai may or may not belong in the V Club (she's not saying), but why does the presence of ex-boyfriend Andres cause her such pain? Debbie is known as a tease, but dating several guys does not make her promiscuous, does it? She is also trying to get her father to understand that she doesn't want to study math and science, but rather fashion design. Would he pay for that or even accept it? And Eva --- she's sweet, nice and smart, but still waters run deep. Eva has it bad for the fabulous Riley --- but does he want Debbie like the rest of them?

THE V CLUB takes this likeable cast and intertwines them in a plot with many surprises. Rather than identifying with a certain character, readers will be more likely to find that there is some of each of the girls in themselves. This book is not about sexuality --- it's about wanting to grow up and knowing when you are (or are not) ready to do so.

Summary: Pure at Heart
Review: What a cute, funny novel - and that means a lot coming from an adult reading a teen novel. Yet, the plot intrigued me from the get go and I couldn't resist. Call it a guilty pleasure.

Revolving around four best friends, the story finds Mandy, Kai, Debbie, and Eva vying for a unique $160,000 scholarship, one that requires its applicants to be "pure." The problem is that everyone, including school personnel, are stumped on the purity portion. How can you judge who's really pure?

To answer this burning question, Mandy (with her friends' help) brings The V Club to life - an organization uplifting the virtues of virginity. Yet all four girls are keeping secrets that could dismantle the club before it even gets off the ground.

With all these secrets, tensions are flaring. Through it all though, the girls learn valuable lessons in friendship and what it means to pure at heart ... and that's where it really counts.
