Gilmore Girls...

This book is tightly based on the first few episodes of Gilmore Girls. There are no additions or changes to the show so if you're looking for extras you won't find them. The first few episodes are a little bland to me because I have seen them so many times so the book was a little boring. But if you haven't seen them then you will like it. One of the main flaws (for me) is that I don't like Rory and Dean together because I'm more of a Jess and Rory person. But this whole book is good if you missed an episode off Gilmore Girls or if you want to watch (read) the episode again.

More on The Gilmore Girls

The first book in the Gilmore Girls book series, it is an excellent tie-in to the well-written and smart show. In the show, you get the snappy dialogue, as well as the cozy scenery. In this book, you get the inner thoughts and backstory of the town and more of each character. If you enjoy the show, you can further your viewing enjoyment by reading these tie-in books. This one in particular will introduce you to the characters if you are new to the show or would like more background. Recommended along with other teen series books such as Charmed, Smallville, Queen B Superheroine, and 7th Heaven.

A Unique Perspective

Like Mother, Like Daughter is the first in a series of episodic books which enhance the storyline of each show. After reading this book, one comes away with more information and insight into the characters, vis a vis what led up to a specific scene and, more importantly, a subjective view of Rory's character and her perspective in any given situation. I applaud the writers for publishing these books! The unique relationship between mother and daughter is fully explored, giving the viewer of the show more insight into the their lives. I would love to see a book written from Lorelai's perspective. What cannot be played out on the show because of time restraints, is wonderfully written in this book as well as "I Love You, You Idiot." I highly recommend fans to read these series of books. They fill in the blanks and replay the dialogue, which enriches the show and its characters. Brava!

Gilmore Girls - Like Mother like Daughter

This is a hilarious book that combines the first few episodes of the first season. This book was really great for someone like me, who missed the first season and needs to get caught up on the show. This is one of the best books I've read in a long time, and trust me that's something because I read alot.

Fan of the show

If you miss the witty zingers and snide remarks that Lorelai threw in every episode of Gilmore Girls, this book will enable you to re-live those moments and laugh at those idiosyncratic exchanges between Lorelai and Rory. The book does a good job of condensing half a TV season into 150 pages without sacrificing key points of the show. The story in the book is told from the point of view of Rory. The adaption does a good job of detailing Rory's inner thoughts on her mother, school, boyfriend, and grandparents -- thoughts that were absent on the TV show. All in all, this book is a fun read for the summer.
