Massie is Annoying, She's Too Vain!
I hate how this girl, Massie, is so materialistic. She believes that you have to be appearance-obsessed and have the latest stuff to be happy. She's so haughty, and all the girly makeup and clothes references made me barf, As you may know, I'm 100% tomboy, and the main character was a spoiled brat who told the girls who didn't wear makeup or brand-name clothes that they were hideous. I don't wear makeup at all, and I usually wear jeans and a T-shirt. I LOVE to catch bugs outside, shoot hoops, and swim in my pool, and if Massie Block(head) were a real person, she'd be yapping about me how I'm chasing spiders and ladybugs (I'm getting a bit dirty) and swimming in a pool when I'm supposed to tan next to it. Seriously, Massie? She'd tell me to wear makeup and change my plain clothes out for designer stuff more than a bit often, and that I should be shopping at expensive boutiques and all that stupid stuff. She also avoids candy like the plague for some reason, and I eat candy like, once every two weeks. I'm into science, and something tells me she hates that. Don't use her as a role model, people.

Common Sense is angering me with these reviews on The Clique books.
The whole point of the Clique books is that the girls are rich and materialistic. Massie tells girls the solid truth about themselves because that's the way she takes it;; beauty is truth. I would've taken it that way too. In all honesty it is pretty educational. Massie's dad smokes a cigar? big deal.

Not approprite for kids under 11
This is a good book, but you have to understand where Massie Block (the main character) is coming from, you kind of have to understand how she looks at life and stuff.

Massie is just insecure, that's why she acts like she does.
I love The Clique, though the characters never learn anything. For example, when Anastacia Breeze decided not to give her the purple streak because she insulted the costumers, Massie stole the pen to give herself the streak. But Massie does all the bad things she does because she is insecure. Sooner or later she'll become a better person.

Great For Tweens Of All Ages!
I feel that some parents were overreacting, maybe your kids should learn and not be kept away from this so called "iffy stuff"

not a good role model.. not a good book
I read the first chapter and threw the book across the room, there is no message except an obvious, "Massie learns to be nice!" great whoo hoo, all she cares about is "how you dress, or how you look" Massie is mean, rude, and not a good role model- save yourself and don't read this book

Massie , Massie,Massie
I liked it but it was shallow and superfisial Massie isn't someone you should look up to but everyone wants to be her. It's the only book in the clique series i didn't like because its all about Massie.

Massie -- A Woman of Mystery
So maybe Massie is shallow, but there are girls who are that way. There are also girls who have their parent's credit card and such. At the end of the day, she doesn't seem to learn her lesson, but that's one of the points of the book. In the near end of the Clique series, that's what changes about her. She's "elastic" instead of "Lycra," meaning that she ends up loosening up and learning her lesson. She may not be the best role model because she lies, deceives, and looks down at others, but it just so happens that it gives the series a more realistic take on things. People don't always change -- they might, but not always.

Great for 11+!
This was a good book, but you should read all of The Clique books before you read this. You will probably get confused if you do. Massie tells girls that they are ugly, but the books still great!

i really liked this clique book! but, you should read all of the other clique books before you read this one, because it won't make any sense if you don't.

I think this book was fine. Not saying some parents should love it and just give it to their children but if your kids are mature enough maybe discuss it with them. But I believe it was great and interesting with some iffy parts.

ok...
the book's ok... pretty realistic to the thoughts of a thirteen-yr-old, but to the rest of the world not so much. I mean, come ON. multiple shopping bags containing english saddles swinging from some guy's fingertips? nu-uh. like i said, the entire series is very realistic to a teenager's mind, but the author's animal knowledge is horrifying to the point of annoying.

Good Book!!!!!
From a kids point of view parents should be worried about the behavior. Massie is mean and gets everything she wants.
