Perfect

I am so annoyed at this book but I love it at the same time! I am annoyed at wanting to know who A is and why he or she is going after Spencer, Aria, Hanna and Emily.

This series is continuing to bring me back to the ever frustrating life of the girls after Allison died. The novel is a very quick read and is full of twists and turns that I shouldn't have expected (except for the fact that I have looked ahead by watching the television series Pretty Little Liars). I cannot wait to get the next novel in the series and start reading it! Hopefully soon A will make an appearance as a character!

The only thing I found wrong with the novel was some of the girls got more 'screen' time than the others. I would have liked to see the girls all show more together in some scenes, or experience more time with each of the girls by themselves. The plot was easy to follow and the chapters moved fast enough that I wasn't getting bored.

I can't complain about this novel! It is perfection in my eyes, except for the fact that I am desperate to know who A is! But that's good for this kind of novel.

Five out of five stars! I love it! show less

Perfect is probably my favorite of the Pretty Little Liars series. It was the first book that made me really sit up and say WOW A really means business! A is really out to do some serious damage to these girls. Some big stuff goes down in this book! I love how each book starts with something from the past when Ali was still around, we get to know more and more about her and her very apparent baggage and more and more clues are thrown into the mix.

I'm not sure which book this really starts to come into play but there are some really great instances of creepiness in this series. Like the girls see people in the shadows watching them or crouching by cars. It totally works too, it freaked me out! And there is a Rosewood Stalker on the loose show more too in this book, I mean it's bad enough we have A but now another stalker too! Or is it? And A starts to keep creepier, leaving the girls notes in places that make it obvious that A had just been standing right by them.

I'll leave you with this, if you find the first two books just ok and are thinking of not continuting to read, at least read through this book and then see how you feel. From about this book on I read about a book a day until the end of the series! show less

Worst of the series so far, but the next book is apparently the "big reveal", so onward I go. At this point, my inner completionist simply wants to tally the number of red herrings used to stretch this bizarre drama across this many pages. It certainly can't be because I got sucked into it like a soap opera and am actually dying to know what happens next. Right? RIGHT???

Haha, these books are so great. This is the point in the series where the shizz gets real: A is not just making empty threats, but directly ruins each girls' life in this installment. Wish the show had taken the book's approach to the Ezria relationship, but whatevs. Such fun! On to book 4!

This is classic Y.A. fiction revolving around privileged teen-age girls. Petty rivalries and jealousies, pressure to excel (from parents), to fit in (from peers). Plus the added angst of having a secret that could destroy their lives and someone who knows the secret and threatens to tell. The four girls have no idea who knows and who they can trust, they don’t even trust each other.

“A” now shows he/she is not only a master manipulator that knows all their secrets, he/she will go to extreme levels to keep the four girls under her control. He/she will even kill to keep her identity hidden.

I quite enjoyed the third installment in the series. Sara Shepard maintains excellent suspense and has created this little world where everyone is a suspect, possibly even more than one person.

My issues with book 2 were still issues coming into book 3; the parents of these four girls do not act like parents would. I don't believe Ella, Aria's mother, would kick her daughter out of her house and let her be homeless just because she kept a secret that she did for her father. Parents pitting children against each other is wrong; and parents generally understand that and don't resent their children. With the relationship that has been portrayed between Ella and Aria, Ella's cold shouldering just comes off as a mean big sister; not a mother. show more

The excellent parts of the book are still in action this time around. Sara creates such unique characters, and you genuinely feel horror for poor Hanna when her dress rips off at a dance, and when Emily's old-fashioned parents try and send her away to 'cure' her lesbianism.

The psychology of the stories is also going down a lovely, dark avenue with the girls experiencing nightmares about Ali and her murder, the guilt of keeping their secrets and wondering what she might know is really eating away at them all, and that comes right off the page for me. Again; I'm eager to keep reading. It's been awhile since a series has wanted me to keep reading. The Sookie Stackhouse books lost me at book three. show less

I’m still loving this series! I started reading it when the series on ABC Family began and the books are just as fun as the show. Sara Shepard does a great job writing these characters and keeping you interested, while holding back on answering the big questions. A suspicious glow is cast on most everyone in Rosewood, and the pieces fall into place little by little.

Things are heating up in Rosewood, Pennsylvania in the third book of the Pretty Little Liars series in the most suspenseful installment yet. Aria’s boy drama and the secret about her father’s affair come to a head, Spencer starts to piece things together in therapy, Hanna has a major breakthrough in the case, and Emily’s relationship with Maya heats up.

More secrets show more are revealed through a home video that resurfaces featuring the girls and Ali. All of the girls are searching for the answers and getting closer to the truth.

This installment was action packed! “A” is still blackmailing the girls and taking it up a notch by revealing her secrets to others.. How does she manage to be in so many places at once? “A” is everywhere.

Perfect is the most exciting yet. I’ve given up waiting for the answers and now I’m just along for the ride. Perfect ends in a shocking cliffhanger that will leave you begging for the next book in the series: Unbelievable. show less
