I watched the movie that was on Netflix and decided to give the series a go. The book is almost always better than the film of course. I enjoyed reading it, even though I wanted to strangle Sophie at times because she really is just a narcissistic idiot. Agatha also has her own issues. But as these girls are portrayed as younger, figuring out life and who you are as a person can be difficult. They just don't have to be so delusional.

I bought the set so I will continue on this journey and see where it takes me. The read was pretty fun and went by fast enough once I sat down to actually start reading it.

Read for PRC
While I expected the first twist near the beginning, the book had plenty of other fun surprises and twists. Well written and enjoyable

I'm so annoyed that this never came on my radar when I was a kid because I would have absolutely devoured it. Have I still devoured it in my twenties (instead of revising for my uni exams)? Absolutely I have!

It was surprisingly entertaining. I loved the character of Agatha, but Sophie was so irritating. Which I supposed is kind of the point. The side characters were interesting and well-written, too, and really made the story.

Definitely need to read the rest of the series. Maybe when I don't have exams though...

I think this one was good, i mainly read it since it was my favorite book as a kid. I love agatha and hate sophie which is why i think both characters were written well.
