Ttyl: Talk to You Later (Internet Girls Series #1)

!!!

Ok so, when i first picked out this book, i just looked at he cover, and i thought it was a cute cover, so i bought it. I though Laurens idea of text messaging was very creative, even if you et confused sometimes, it was very cool. So, this book suprised me because the plot of this book was very diffent than i thought. She was facing things that were...what can i say, kind of innaprorite, but it was a good book! Lauren really let you get the feeling that the 3 best friends were actually talking to each other. I reccomned this book to people who want to read something fun and different, and i reccomend this book, its worth buying!

Awesome

If you can deal with adult-like remarks, then you won't have a problem with this book. Personally, I think it's really good. It's written in IM format, if you didn't already know. I hope that you like it too, and read the last two because those are even better. It's really suprising at the end of each book, how they cope with everything that goes on in their lives. Basically, the whole seris is about the these three best friends, Zoegirl, SnowAngel, and Madmaddie that are all going to High school to find that their sophmore year was not the year they thought it up to be. It doesn't sound like a lot, but when you read it, it's more than you thought it would be in the first place. I totally reccomend this book to anyone!!!

Good but not Great

This book involves 3 great friends and the problems they face. This bookis shown in a text message form, which for me is a quite interesting. The problems that the 3 girls face are difficult and the 2 other books (ttfn and l8r g8r) will have more problems that will have more grown up problems. But over all, its an ok book. I wouln't buy it, I'd borrow it form the library.

TTYL

This book is soooooo good. It just shows some normal teenage activity and that's what the book is sort of all about from my point of veiw.

TTYL is a great book that you'd wanna read!!

After reading this thrilling book, i had to go review it everywhere. it is by far my favorite book i've ever read. I cannot believe how carried away i got with Myracle's writing technique and storyline! I was kept up all night turning page, after page, after page. What was i thinking ? GREAt. finally a book that i can go back to and READ again. Just the fact that I wanna go read it again is a miracle. Great storyline, great emotional factors and originality.

Entertaining Tween Read

Perfect light read for elementary/tween readers. My daughter described this book as "a fun read."

cotton candy for the mind: too much sugar, not enough substance

Ttyl, by Lauren Myracle, is the kind of book that can be found on the book shelves of many pre-teen girls, even those who don't normally like to read. I remember seeing this book a lot during 6th and 7th grade, but by then, I was already an avid action/adventure reader and my favorite color was blue. But four years later, when I spotted the bright pink cover on my cousin's bookshelf, I picked it up thinking, "Eh, what the hell," and got busy.
Ttyl follows BFFs Zoey, Angela, and Madigan as they go through their sophomore year. The book is a catalog of all their online conversations: cat fights, interesting student-teacher relationships, and puppy love turned sour. It's not the kind of book I would've chosen back then or now, but over the years I've been pretty open to other genres and I found the writing style of ttyl interesting.
Two days later, I realized that this book definitely challenges the claim that reading makes you smarter. In all fairness, a book written in an IM format can't have the widest vocabulary range, but this was ridiculous. It wasn't so much of a lack of vocabulary as a lack of depth in the book as a whole. Angela, Zoey, and Maddie were nothing more than cutouts: the boy-crazed romantic, the goody-two-shoes, and the tough girl. The plot was as shallow as a kiddie pool (Angela's boyfriend is cheating swine-boohoo; Janice is a manipulative witch-waah!).
Also, the book is simply not fit for a particular audience. The cover of the book is pink with cute emoticons on the front. This, and the writing style give me the impression that this book is targeted at pre-teen readers. However, there should be a PG-13 sticker in the inside cover. Twelve-year-old girls should not be reading about pedophile-teachers, alcoholic catastrophes, or even Angela's unhealthy attraction to guys. Are these really the kind of things you'd want your (hopefully) still innocent daughter to be reading about?

Amazing book!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this book!!!!!!!!!! Lauren Myracle wrote the book ih instent message which I like and, I love how the girls (Maddie, Angela, Zoe) talk like real teenagers. I truely recommend this book for any highschool girl

Well...

It wasn't one that held my interest and didn't make me WANT to read more. It was okay.

Different type of read, but good!

I loved the text-internet style of writing in this book, it was interesting and something I'd never saw before. I enjoyed the book as a whole, you couldn't really have thick plots with it all being on the internet but it was good. The biggest perk to it though was that I constantly found myself laughing through it. It had a decent amount of humor and for anyone who needs a good laugh I'd recommend this book, it's funny.

Alright

This is one of those books that don't really move you, touch you, and it didn't even make me laugh that much. While it started off alright, as I got more into it I was just reading to finish it. There are about 3 problems in the book, all that get solved simple, without any suspense. If your looking for a time waster, read this book, if your looking for a book that has a plot, read something else.

Awesome, but somewhat inappropriate.

I can definitely see why this book was banned from my middle school's library. I loved it anyways, but it was a little on the raunchy side.

I was wrong.

I bought this book thinking I wasn't going to be really into it and I'd just try it out. Well, man, I was dead wrong! I love this book! It's amazing! Especially how it's all instant messages, told from Angela, Zoe and Maddie's each individual perspective! Amazing book, amazing series and amazing author. I am getting "ttfn" and "l8r, g8r" and can't wait!

high school drama

In this book Ttyl everything happens on a computer screen as an instant messing website. The main characters are Zoe, Maggie and Angela. They tell a story of not just some ordinary teenage girls but every little thing that goes on in it. These four girls are in 10th grade and think they are invincible and are all best friends, they have been told that most relationships are destroyed in high school but they want to prove them wrong. I choose this book because I thought it looked cool on the shelf and one of my friends read it and recommended it to me. I read the first page and couldn't put it down. Zoe is the quiet and modest, Maggie is the base of their friendships and loves to be with her friends and Angela is the girl that loves boys but falls in love to quickly. I enjoyed this book because it is something I can relate to or is used to. These four girls get into some trouble if they take their problems out of proportions. My favorite character is Angela because I can relate to her by the way she acts and the stuff that she gets into because I could see myself doing some of the stuff that she did. I would recommend this book to teenage girl who love drama. I wouldn't recommend this book to people who like facts and history just plan high school drama. By Courtney Allen

A great read for those who want to waste time and money

So my friend and I were at our local book store, skimming the teen section for any interesting books. Instead, we found TTYL. So just for fun, we decided to read some of it aloud because the text format resembled a script. We couldn't even get past the first chapter without blushing at the disgusting conversation! The book is completely unrealistic. No one talks like that or so freely about certain topics. My first comment after glimpsing through the rest of the book was "So this is why the teen section is next to the bathroom." Honestly, this shouldn't even qualify as a book. Now, I know you must be thinking, "Hey, did you even read the whole book? If not, than how can you give a review?" The answer is no. I didn't read the entire book, but I did, however, go on other sites and read some of the reviews. Many of them were mothers who were so outraged with the books, they went to the school principal to take it out of school libraries! Someone said that one day in a faraway future robot archeologists would be looking for the fall of our society and they would find TTYL. He then said that would be the first time a robot would weep. TTYL should not be the title of this book. It should be NRM---Never Read Me.

Confusing and annoying at times.

I didn't get the point. It's almost like there's parts of the story taken out, and it's all in-betweens. It's humorous at times, but I was confused with the entire book. I wouldn't recommend this to someone else, nor read any of the other books.

parents beware

if you're thinking about this for your girl under 14 or 15, then read page 10 through 12 ... very mature content ... will prompt a lot of questions you may not be ready to answer. filthy language and inappropriate themes throughout.

TTYL

this book is really good you have to read it

Really GREAT!

I loved how it was written in "text talk". I Recommend it for 12 or 13 and older... Just because their are SOME adult topics, but for the most part it is a funny, emotional, and witty book, and I love it!
