Immediately when Sara Shepard came
out with her first book Pretty Little Liars, this new book series was the rave,
gradually intriguing more and more people every month. A few years later and
about 20 more hit books to add to the series, Pretty Little Liars is still
going strong.
Pretty Little Liars is a teen
thriller about 5 of the most popular friends is Rosewood. These girls have
everything from clothes, to the biggest houses, to the most secrets. Everything
is perfect until one day one of the five friends Ali is mysteriously murdered.
Aria, Spencer, Emily, and Hanna, think that a year later the worst is behind
them but when the girls begin getting messages threatening to tell all of their
pretty little secrets, they begin to wonder you this “A” is signing all the
notes. Could it be Ali’s murderer, or worse, Ali herself? Every book tells a
new story of how the girls end up in trouble because of the things they have
done in the past, and unfortunately the secrets they are trying to conceal
right now.
I really liked this book series for
the longest time because it had a lot of drama and a hint of mystery without
being to scary. The book is written where each chapter is about one of the four
girls perspectives so you really get to know each of the girls personalities,
while all of the individual stories are intertwined into one main story plot. Most
of the time you don’t even notice the parts switching throughout the book, because
it is so well written the story just flows. However after a while the
continuous drama got really boring from stretching out the story so much. I
believe that there are currently over 20 books in the series so you can imagine
that Sara Shepard started to run out of ideas, the dirty little secrets get
dumber and dumber.
The Pretty Little Liars television
series on ABC Family, does the same thing as the books do, where at first it
was very intriguing , but then as the books ran out of ideas so did the show. I
have to say however the television show is actually really good because it
sticks mostly to what the books say and the show is so action packed. After
every episode you are left wondering what is going to happen next. I liked this
aspect of the show, and I think is the number one factor in making a great television
series, that viewers get really addicted to watching the show because you
really want to figure out what happens next. Pretty Little Liars is premiering their
4th season at the beginning of the New Year, so tune into ABC Family
to catch a glimpse of Hanna, Aria, Spencer, and Hanna’s pretty little secrets.
