I have been looking for a book about the Pretty Little Liars tv show ever since the show began. This is the first and only book I have found. It covers the first 2 seasons. The book covers every episode as well as just about every aspect of the show including cast, characters, facts, etc. The book includes many pictures in both color and b&w. If you are a fan of the series you will want this book.
Liv Spencer's Rosewood Confidential goes in-depth into the first two seasons of the hit ABC Family series Pretty Little Liars. In keeping with the format of other show guides from ECW Press, Rosewood Confidential goes episode by episode with a summary of what happened followed by other tidbits like "extra credit" (explanations of references made in the episode), "slip ups" (mistakes made), and "back to the books" (how Sara Shepard's books relate to the show) among others. At the beginning of the book are the biographies of the main actors; those who play secondary characters are profiled throughout the episode guides. There are also extras like features on the music and wardrobe to break up the standard format a bit.Spencer definitely did her research on the show, but I didn't always agree with what she deemed "slip ups." For example, she calls it a goof when Hanna claims not to be able to afford a fancy hotel despite her expensive wardrobe in episode 1.03 and again when Hanna says the dance in episode 1.14 is for a good cause even though it's to benefit their class trip. I can explain these (and some of the other so-called slip ups) easily as being very much in character. Hanna's already been established as a shoplifter, so the expensive clothes probably weren't paid for. As for the dance, Hanna's exactly the sort that would think "a good cause" is her own class trip. However, I did appreciate the inclusion (even if it wasn't really a slip up) of an interesting nugget of information regarding episode 1.21. In that episode it seemed weird that the girls kept saying website when they were clearing referring to Facebook. Spencer clears up the mystery by revealing that "website" had to be dubbed in later when the ABC Family lawyers told them they couldn't use Facebook. Little facts like that make Rosewood Confidential a great read.review copy from the publisher
When I received this book it was again in excellent shape and condition. I just got started watching the series on Netflix and saw that you had the books I had to get them. All received in good condition. Except for one. But nothing major it was used and when a book has a little wear it is a book that was loved and read. Would highly recommend .
I have been a patient fan of pretty little liars for almost five years now. I have seen almost every episode twice and I have read all the books. One thing I have been searching for was a companion to the tv series. A book with extras, the whole shabang. Usually whenever I purchase a companion to a series (book or tv) I devour it in one setting. Alas, this book didn't quite make the cut for that.This book would be great for the fan who has just started the show and isn't on season five.Personally I liked the info about the actors. This book gave very detailed descriptions of their previous acting experience a and allowed me to see their connection with the character (sorry, that was cheesy. I am an actress so I can't help it😁). I also really appreciated the extras at the end of the episode summary s. The author did do a great job high lighting certain parts.Though I have to say I was unhappy with the fact that this was only for two of the seasons. It says right there on the book to watch an episode along with reading the summary. I really agree with this.Some of the extras didn't refur to A. This is companion to a tv show about A. If you writing extras there should be significant clues mentions in the text. There went and I was quite disappointed with that.All together I would rate this a three because while I didn't hate it I dint love it. You should buy this book if you A) are on season one or two B) are going to watch season one or two again or C) want to have everything that has to do with pretty little liars. Even if it don't help at all.😄
My young teen daughter insists that I watch PLL with her; it's our thing together. I actually enjoyed this book; it gave further insight and description of the episodes and was fun to read with my daughter. It was a launching point to talk about mature subjects seen on TV. In addition to everything said above, my daughter absolutely enjoyed reading it.
Awesome book for fans of the show! Not superficial in any way--an in-depth look at the PLL phenomenon. Plus the show admitsto being influenced by one of my old favorites--TWIN PEAKS!Anyhow, this is essential for fans of Ashley, Lucy, Shay, and(sigh--my personal goddess)Troian. Enjoy!
Love this! I ordered a used copy and u can't even tell! It looks great! It was in amazing condition and I loved reading it and it has great information in it! Came on time and was packaged great to. Very very happy with this! If your a pretty little liars fan I definitely recommend this book you will love it!
It explains a lot about the book and the show. It includes extras about different props (ex. the book To Kill A Mockingbird, it had a section about it!). It also had sections about the cast and characters. I love the "Slip Ups" in this book. They point out different mishaps in the show that happened and most people don't catch them (ex. Spencer was sent an e-mail from Melissa saying "lunch"... During this time they were not talking to each other.). It also includes pictures of the set and many more pictures of the actors. Overall, this is an amazing book, and I hope they come out with one for the next seasons! Get it!
