Gilmore Girls: I Love You, You Idiot [Mass Market Paperback]

Cathy East Dubowski (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Series: Gilmore Girls

It is crazy that Dean and I broke up. Things were going great between us. I mean, he tells me he loves me one minute, then the next minute he breaks up with me. My mom thinks I should wallow and stuff my face with junk food, but I'm not so sure that's the answer. And let's face it, when it comes to relationships, my mom doesn't always show the best judgment, especially if my dad's involved. What I really need to do is stay focused and keep busy. After all, I have Harvard to think about, so why waste time crying over a boy? Right?

1.0 out of 5 stars What's the point?, January 31, 2007

This review is from: Gilmore Girls: I Love You, You Idiot (Mass Market Paperback)

I was an English Major in college. I'm a huge advocate of literacy in general, and anything that gets people (especially kids/teens) to read. But this mockery of a book is entirely, well... stupid. It is word for word and action for action the dialog and movements from the show.

There is no hidden depths here. It's written first person point of view of Rory, and frankly, Rory wouldn't write this boringly.

Television (and movies) as a springboard for novels is a great idea. Unfortunately, at the moment I can only think of sci-fi examples such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly, and Dark Angel. But I'm sure there are others. These novel series are in addition to the show. They are not direct episodes transcribed from the show. They offer deeper character analysis and unexplored avenues of adventure.

If you're that interested in the subject, try getting your hands on a shooting script for Gilmore Girls episodes. At least they're a more interactive read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, September 17, 2002

This is a great book for people young and old. I haven't picked up a book since high school which was three years ago and these books have me going, there's no putting it down!! If you all have seen the TV show which most of you have the book, is very similar to the episodes but told in Rory's point of view. I recommend this book and all Gilmore Girls books to every reader who has a big heart and can relate to a mother daughter relation ship like Rory and Lorelai or like Lorelai and Emily or just need some heartfelt reading to do!!

Gilmore Girls is one of the best shows ever, and the fact that a few episodes were put into books makes me happy. I haven't had time to read them yet because I have been studying but I can't wait to read them. The preview was word for word the episode!
