The Clique Summer Collection #2: Dylan (Clique Series) Review
User Submitted The Clique Summer Collection #2: Dylan (Clique Series) ReviewsJuly 25, 2008 Courtesy of Teens Read Too DYLAN is the second book in THE CLIQUE SUMMER COLLECTION, and lives up to the reputation of the CLIQUE series. Dylan and her mom (who is a famous TV personality) travel to Hawaii to interview the world-famous tennis player, Svetlana. Svetlana has recently gotten out of rehab for her anger management issues, and this is her first match and interview since her last incident. Dylan and Svetlana get in a little tiff, but as a Clique member there is no way Svetlana will come out on top -- and with the guy Dylan wants. Is there? Dylan is quite the conniver, I must say. This was another great addition to the series as a whole, and I can't wait to read the rest of THE CLIQUE SUMMER COLLECTION! Reviewed by: Taylor Rector July 24, 2008 A delicious guilty pleasure Pretty Committee member Dylan Marvil accompanies her TV-host mother on a private jet to an extravagant spa and tennis club in Hawaii in hopes of making a fresh start. She wants to put the heartache of being dumped behind her, relax in the spa, lounge on the beach and feast on rich tropical desserts --- while her mom is busy preparing for the "interview of the season" with hot-tempered tennis superstar and bad-girl Svetlana Slootskyia. After checking in to the luxurious resort, Dylan and her mother head for the resort's boutique to "go native" and pick out some new clothes to wear at the Aloha Open VIP Party. Dylan --- who favors dark colors, especially black, to flatter her size-four (make that size-six) figure --- is not pleased with the wardrobe selection. She tells her mom she feels like she's been dropped into a "floral-scented snow globe" because everything there is white, which is the customary color for anyone attending the tennis events. While looking for an appropriate outfit, Dylan melts at the sight of tanned and handsome J.T. Daley, whose father owns the resort. When she actually meets him, Dylan can barely control her burping. J.T. is a tennis-obsessed "hawtie" who is immediately impressed when he finds out that Dylan's mom is going to be interviewing Svetlana. At the VIP party, to impress J.T. even more, Dylan tells him she also loves tennis, which is about as true as her being a size four and not having a burping problem. After hearing this, J.T. invites her to his family's box seats at a tennis match that will be held three days later. Dylan quickly realizes she has to learn how to master the game of tennis in three days, or J.T. will know she's lying. She tries to come up with a plan to get the hot-tempered Svetlana to teach her to play tennis well enough to impress J.T. Can Dylan convince Svetlana to help her become an ace, or will her quest to win over J.T. end up out of bounds? DYLAN is the second of five books that shine a spotlight on the summers of the Pretty Committee members. It is a breezy and light-hearted novel with an important message about knowing ourselves and being comfortable with who we are. --- Reviewed by Donna Volkenannt July 5, 2008 this is an amazing book this is the best book ever. if you enjoyed reading the clique, then you will love this book. June 29, 2008 More of the same... My daughter loves these books- I think they do not qualify as a "good" book but they are pretty harmless as long as she reads other books in between. June 27, 2008 good the book was a good book because i play tennis and i thought it was good researched and the author used the right terms June 14, 2008 Uhhhh NO Britney Dudas This is for Britney Dudas, After reading your review I was disgusted, in WHAT book has Dylan been potrayed as a "girly girl?" I don't consider burping and farting or jokes on the same subjects found funny by a "girly girl" June 1, 2008 Better than Massie's I won't reveal everything, but I'm glad Dylan (sorta) lost. The plot was better than Massie's, but their POV were practically identical. May 31, 2008 Didn't flow as well as the first Massie book, but still a great summer read. I enjoyed this book a lot. Dylan goes to Hawaii with her Mom, the talk-show host, to interview a famous tennis star and cover a tennis tournament. Almost immediately, Dylan meets a hot guy who seems more obsessed with tennis than with girls - and Dylan sets out to rearrange his priorities. When the bratty tennis star loses her temper at Dylan, after pledging on her Mom's show that she has changed her ways through anger-management sessions (!), Dylan blackmails her into helping Dylan get the guy. The characters were a bit overdone and hard to believe, but it was still an enjoyable read - just harder to really fall into. It was nice to get some insights into Dylan's character - unfortunately, there wasn't a whole lot that was truly compelling about her. She is a bit insecure and worries about her weight (at size six), and didn't really seem into much of anything beyond boys and fashion- but even those interests were more superficial than Massie's, for example. Bottom line: good beach read, but don't bother if you aren't already a fan. (I liked Massie's a lot better!) May 26, 2008 Love, Love, Love!!! This book is Ah-mazing! It is so much better than what these reviews say! Dylan comes out strong and not the "girly-girl" she is when she is around Massie. You should totally buy it=) May 13, 2008 I enjoyed it! After reading Massie's summer book, I expected Dylan's to be a bit boring. However, I was pleasantly suprised! I loved Dylan's point of view and her sense of humor, and the storyline is good and unpredictable. I actually enjoyed it more than Massie's book! The only problem is that some parts of the story move a little too fast, but other than that it was ah-mazing! For more The Clique Summer Collection #2: Dylan (Clique Series) reviews click here.
