4.0 out of 5 stars Is it too much to ask for a little consistency?, April 20, 2000
This review is from: Lara Gets Lucky (Making Out) (Paperback)
Even though I'm not a teenager (I'm 20), I really enjoy these boooks. So it really infuritates me when important details are changed. In the earlier books, Christopher was from Baltimore and Aisha was from Boston. Now all of a sudden, Christopher is from Boston and Aisha's never been there before. Huh? What is that? Otherwise the book was great. I never, ever suspected the stalker to be who it is. Nina, Lucas, Benjamin, Jake, and Lara are keeping the series fresh.

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting Slightly Tired - But Still Can't Help Liking It, April 3, 2000
This review is from: Lara Gets Lucky (Making Out) (Paperback)
I started reading this series years ago (when it was called "Boyfriends/Girlfriends"). Back then it was amazingly original and dealt with important issues like molestation and drunk driving. Although there are still some issues of importance even now like stalking, for the most part the series has turned into yet another soap-opraish teenage tale. However, because of the wit of the characters - especially Nina - I still continue to really enjoy reading these books. But instead of being good books, I think they are more fun books now. Despite this change, I'm still finding them a guilty pleasure. If you are into the series or just feel like a book to vegetate with, I recommend this newest addition to the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff!, April 1, 2000
This review is from: Lara Gets Lucky (Making Out) (Paperback)
This is truly a great book, plus great series. Lara is an alcoholic trying to recover. I love this series! Ever since book one (Zoey Fools Around) I've been hooked. Although it's not filled with science like the Animporphs, it definately has a great story. You feel like you're actually there with the characters. All the characters come from different backgrounds. Three of the characters are Jewish, and I thought that was so cool! If Katherine Applegate ever reads this, I just wanna say good job and keep the great books coming. I totally love this series. If you love small islands, teen love, and culture, this series is definately for you! Please read my review of it on my site.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh My Gosh!, April 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Lara Gets Lucky (Making Out) (Paperback)
Okay, so I like skipped forward a couple of books because the bookstore was out of Always Loving Zoey and the one before that. Anyway, I was stunned, absolutely stunned to find out about Lucas and Nina. I mean, I'd never thought of them that way. And when I figured out who Claire's stalker was, my mouth dropped open. This book is my favorite one yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, April 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Lara Gets Lucky (Making Out) (Paperback)
I absolutly love this series. Though it is totally different from the Animporphs, it is a great story. If you like islands, love, teens, and a lot of culture, you should read these books. Since book one, i feel into the series like I knew what was going on every single step of the way. Zoey is probably my favorite character because we have a lot in common. We both love to write and both want to go to Berkley. Well, I don't know if I will, but she is. And there's even three Jewish characters, which I thought was so cool! I think that this series is the best I've ever read. If Ms. Applegate ever reads this, I just wanna say good job and keep the great books coming!

4.0 out of 5 stars Still cool, but getting stale, May 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Lara Gets Lucky (Making Out) (Paperback)
I really hate to give this book such a low rating, because I love this series, but Zoey is really starting to bug me.She used to be my favorite charecter(it was a tie between her and Nina), but lately she's really getting on my nerves. Lucas' father just died and all she can think about is herself, and how he should think about her all the time. I think Lara has the right idea, make Zoey's life misrable, it should make for interesting drama. Better yet,Lara, send her to the rehibilitation hospital, maybe they can give her a new personality. She needs it.
