In case you didnt know, there are a series of books out there that are based on the episodes of Gilmore girls. I was just wondering if any of you had read them so you could tell me if they're worth the read. I would expect it wouldn't be the same as hearing the quick banter on tv, but I could be mistaken. Let me know.  |

Really, its not worth it. The writing is flat and has a lot of rough edges. Like a lot of other books from series, it only shows one characters view (Rory's) so you entirely miss out on Lorelai's point of view. Theyre just boring. Read something better with your time, you can watch gg online.

I've read the first of them, and it was just so bad! It's basically the script from some of the episodes just with a bunch of she said, he said in between.

I haven't read them and I doubt they're available here, but I'm probably too old for them. I used to read tv series books when I was a kid but most of them to be aimed at an age group of around 13.

I have some of my library now at home! I've read a few chapters of the first GG book but I didn't really like it. I like the show better and because I already know what's going to happen, I hadn't a reason to read further. So I will deffinitly not read the others! GG is better on television.  |

I think the best way to see them is to compare them to the Charmed and Lizzie MacGuire books: I like the shows better than the books. |

Read something better with your time, you can watch gg online. Yeah, that's what I figured. I read a few pages on Amazon.com and the writing seemed very plain and to the point. I'd much rather watch the show online, you're right. Any book based off a tv show cant be good.. I should have known lol. |

I checked on the books at BN.com. It is alot of "he said then she said then lane said and i thought"
but for some reason i wanted to read more. its exactly based on the show.
