More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
"Lovely Rita, Meter Maid" and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" are as much part of popular mythology as "Little Dorrit" or "Macbeth". Strawberry fields, fool-topped hills and long and winding roads are all part of a collective subconscious stretching from New York to New Delhi. This book tells the story behind every one of The Beatles' songs. Who was Eleanor Rigby, and was Polythene Pam a figment of John Lennon's imagination or a real flesh-and-blood person? What stories and emotions influenced them and how do they reflect the development of The Beatles' distinctive musical style?

First Sentence
"If she was, like, six inches taller, he could rest his chin in her cleavage," Blair Waldorf observed as she watched her ex-boyfriend, Nate Archibald, dancing with Jennifer Humphrey, the short and extremely buxom ninth grader for whom Nate had unexplainably ditched Blair only a few weeks ago.

I do love the Gossip girl series, even if the it isnt clear which book you should read in what order. I bought this book the other day, believing it to be the second book in the series, only to find out that it is in fact the third, and that there are soon going to be six!
Still, that didnt put me off. Just as good as the first book (dont know yet the quality of the second), and the characters are still delightfully bitchy, materialistic, snobby and everything you would expect from spoilt kids in the city.
And yet... I can still relate to them. Through all the shiny new clothes and having the type of lifestyle I could only achieve through winning the lottery; Ziesegar gives the characters classic teenager problems and mini-crisis's that I suspect most teenagers can relate to through understanding if not experience. Very entertaining book; Go read.

They're back - and this time I think they have become more fully-fledged characters. The author delves more deeply into the issues these rich teenagers face, but in her usual good-humoured style, making fun of their worries too. I like the Audrey Hepburn obsession in particular.
She keeps the plots twisting (who will kiss who?) and it's light frothy fun, with just the right undercurrent of angst. I recommend it for fans, although anyone who hasn't read the first two books in the series might get a bit lost, or miss out on some jokes. So read the other two as well!!
