The Clique #6: Dial L for Loser (Clique Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I know this book has been being bashed by adults, saying that this series is putting girls down, and advising people from buying it for their daughters. But when you look at all of the reviews made from the kids, The Clique is getting great ratings. So maybe the adults shouldn't be so judgemental about a series that kids really enjoy, and remind themselves that it's only fiction. I mean, what right to adults have to criticize, saying that these books put teen girls down? That's just an opinion. All the adults reviewing this don't have the same mind as a teen girl, and the reviews show that they obviously think different thoughts.
I'm turning thirteen in less then a week, and I have read all The Clique books besides Dial L for Loser, and intend to order it ASAP. I think that Lisi Harrison has really tapped into something. She's written these books so well, that they seem to be non fiction, as if there based on real events.
But here's the thing. They're not based on real events. I think that's what's got people confused. A fictitous series shouldn't put teen girls down. So what if you're not as wealthy as Massie? So what if you can't afford to shop at BCBG and Bloomingdale's? I'm a Hollister and Abercrombie junkie, and these books sure didnt make me feel bad when I was shopping for flip flops at Abercrombie!
Some girls are Massies, some are Claires. You could be a Massie. Popular, Rich, Beautiful. That could make any girl jealous. But maybe you're Claire. You don't have as much money, and you start out as the Ugly Duckling, who doesn't really fit in in Massie's world. Even though Massie gave Target and Gap a bad name, it didn't stop Claire from wearing platform Keds, and being a part of Massie's infamous Pretty Committee.
This book doesn't make you spend every cent on designer clothing. You're the consumer, and you have the power. You have the power to put down these books. You have the power to walk out of Bloomingdale's empty handed. Why even read them if all they do is make you feel bad? To all of the negative reviewers: Why wouldn't you stop after reading the first book? If you thought they were destined for the trash, why would you read as far as the sixth installment into the series?
If you think that this series sucks, and that they don't deserve your attention, don't give them your attention. But all your doing is frustrating fans of The Clique.
Do you think any buyers will acknowledge your review? If you want to dust away interested buyers, review the first book! Why would a first-time Clique reader buy the sixth book before reading all the others? If someone's come to this page interested in the book, they've probably read the whole series, and a one-star review won't stop them from ordering it!
Don't wallow if your not rich and popular like Massie is! Be inspired by Claire, because she's sending a message that no matter who you are you can fit in with girls like Massie and Alicia.
To all the negative reviewers: I would back off. People aren't going to come to this page unless there going to write a negative review or order the book and comment with positivity. Like I said, if you really want to direct buyers away from this series, then go comment on the first installment.

The social minefields most privileged middle-school girls drive the over-the-top drama in this addictive new book, set in suburban New York City's Westchester County. Massie Block: With her glossy brunette bob and Whitestrip smile, Massie is the uncontested ruler of The Clique and the rest of the social scene at Octavian Country Day, an exclusive private school in Westchester, New York. Dylan Marvil: Massie's second in command who divides her time between sucking up to Massie and sucking down Atkins shakes to try to get rid of the extra fifteen pounds that won't seem to leave her hips alone. Alicia Rivera: As sneaky as she is beautiful, Alicia floats easily under adult radar because she seems so 'sweet.' Would love to take Massie's throne one day. Just might do it. Kristen Gregory: She's been dying to fit in ever since her parents went broke. She's smart, hardworking and will insult you to tears faster than you can say 'scholarship kid.' And then there's Claire Lyons, the new girl in two-year old GAP overalls from Florida, who is clearly not Clique material. The only problem is that Claire's family is staying in the guest house on the Blocks' massive estate while they look for a new home! Claire's future looks worse than a bad Prada knockoff. But with a little luck and a lot of scheming, Claire might just come up smelling like Chanel Mademoiselle....
