I have to admit... 
2008-03-15
Okay. As much as I don't want to, I like this series so far. I was reluctant to read Girls on Film after the first book was such an anti-climatic let down. Then I realized that it's done on purpose. Why buy the next book if the first one wrapped up nicely? I read the book in one day, so even if you're not the biggest fan, you can breeze through this book with no problem.
Things I liked: Anna's somewhat ridiculous struggle to go against her better judgement was amusing. Sam's strange crush was unexpected, but played out well. And the scene at the sauna was amusing.
Thing I didn't like:
Designer name dropping. Seriously, are these people running around looking at each other's tags? How would anyone know who's wearing Seven jeans unless they were staring at each other's butts/rear waist band areas? It was maddening and I ended up crossing most of it out with a sharpie. It made for quicker reading...
Anyway, I HATE HATE HATE the Cassie character. Seriously, I hope Zoey Dean concocts a violent and fitting death for this character.
To sum up, it was alright. It's definately ficiton, bordering on fantasy for most people, but it kept be entertained for a while.
Great Follow Up For The A- List

Girls on Film by Zoey Dean was another great novel. Zoey did a great job on the second novel in this series. In this novel Anna works with Sam Sharpe on a school project film on the Great Gatsby. During which so, Anna discovers her screen-writing talent. Susan, Anna's sister leaves rehab to come stay with her, but during her stay, Cammie convinces her to drink and she ends up going to a party drunk, but luckily Anna's new friend, Sam, helps her, by telling veryone it was for a movie. Anna also forgives Ben after what he did to her and they get back together. This was another great book by the bestselling author Zoey Dean
The most boring out of the series 2007-02-01
this one was extremly boring. zoey dean kept reapeating what her characters thought in their head, and dont you get tired of reading the same thing over and over again throughout an entire book?!?!
besides that, she left out one of my favorite characters. which is her dads hired driver for anna. anna described him as a "sexy handsome guy" and i always wanted them to somehow become friends. but in the third book he wasnt even in it.
the first two books were fantastic..this one just repeated itself too much for my liking.
also you can predict whats going to happen.
# two is just as good! 2006-08-22
Anna Percy is finally over Ben. (at least that's what she keeps telling herself...) Anna starts to really like Adam, a basketball star from Michigan. (Go blue!) She is just starting to let go of Ben and concentrate on her realshionship with Adam, when Ben makes a huge play to win her back. He puts balloons at her house, roses in her room, and even makes a surprise visit asking for her forgiveness. Anna keeps telling Ben (and herself!) that she is done with him, but she starts to wonder whether or not she really is. So, Anna decides to put her relashionship with Adam on hold to clear things up with Ben. After Ben tells her the truth about what happened on New Year's, Anna decides to forgive him. They finally, in the end, get back together again! Yay! Am I the only one that thinks they should be together?
Can't wait to read number three!
The A-List #2: Girls on Film 2006-06-20
I liked this book just as much as the first one, and I was so happy with the ending I could just die. It reminded me of another sequel I've read, but I just can't think.
Anyways, Susan came to Beverly Hills from rehab and now Cammie is trying to get at Anna by being friends with Susan, and Sam is very confused about her sexuality. Things between Anna and Adam are heating up, but Ben still isn't completely out of the picture.
There are so many twists in one little book, but now that I have the third book in the series I will pick up again right away!

irls on Film is the wickedly funny and risqu sequel to the bestselling A-List that takes readers behind the scenes of the intoxicating world of Hollywood glitterati. Seventeen year-old Upper East Side blueblood Anna ('pronounced Aaaanah') Percy has moved from posh Manhattan to the even more posh Beverly Hills, California, where she's living with her estranged dad for the rest of the school year while her mother travels to Europe with a friend. Girls on Film begins with Anna's feeling empowered after telling Ben to take a hike. He, however, continues to pursue her - refusing to go back to Princeton without a reconciliation. Anna's just not sure if she buys his New Year's cover story: that he was helping out a celebrity friend who nearly drank herself to death. In the meantime, Anna wonders if she and Adam have any chemistry. Anna also bonds with Sam, and after mentioning Ben's New Year's alibi, the girls try to guess the identity of the mysterious alcoholic celebrity. The list of suspects is a veritable who's who of A-List actresses. Sam invites Anna to a desert spa weekend where, in a climactic finish, we find out whether Dee is actually pregnant with Ben's baby, how Sam resolves her romantic feelings for Anna and, most importantly, whether Ben was acting with pure intentions when he left Anna alone on his boat. The fast times of Beverly Hills most beautiful and glamorous people drive the page-turning action of this irresistible, stylishly written novel.
Good Fun Read 2006-06-14
This one wasn't as good as the first, but i liked it a lot. Anna's sister Susan come to LA from rehab and things get turned upside down. Susan becomes friends with Cammie, much to Anna's dismay, and get drunk at one point. There wasn't as much going on in this one but it was still good.
Characters- even in CA- can be related to 
2006-02-23
Even though these characters live in big mansions in Southern California, we can relate to them.
Anna Percy? Dilemma with her boyfriend.
Sam? Big problems with her new stepmother and her friends.
Cammie? Misses her mother.
Although we can really not identify with a great deal of the details, the basics behind the characters make them very human.
amazing 2006-01-11

A-List #2 2005-10-31
I really enjoyed this book better than the first in the series.
This was a quick fast paced read with your typical highschool drama, back stabbing mean girls, and romance.
I recommend reading the first in the series before reading this. Although you can still get the gist by reading this one alone.
Also recommended, The Gossip Girl series.
