Pretty Little Liars’ was a teen thriller book aimed at
teenage girls. The book is based around 4 girls whose best friend is murdered,
soon after this murder they all receive messages from an anonymous source
called ‘A’ who threatens to revel there most deepest secrets. There was
something about the book which was extremely gripping as I read the book within
two days. The book was layout in an easy to read format, which made is simple
to keep on top of each of the girls’ involved story line All the girls’ story lines were cleverly done and somehow relatable to all teenage girls in
some way, which could be a factor why the book was so successful and enjoyable
to read. The
teenage thriller included a lot of red herrings which kept me intrigued the
whole way through. As more secrets were getting revealed the anticipation to
find out who this ‘A’ was became more exciting and definitely builds up tension
within the book. However this book failed to revel one of the big story lines
in the book. I
did find this book was more supplying background information on the girls in
which would be helpful to know for the next books in the series which left me
feeling disappointed once the book had finished as I feel I didn't receive any
real answers about any of the story lines. However this techniques left a
massive cliff hanger to the book which made it impossible not to buy the next
book and continue on the story line, I believe this made the book very
successful as not many books have to desperate to read the next one straight
after
The book did an extremely good job in bringing many different story lines together for example, linking all the girls secrets to their best friend murder. There are many story lines in the book, one for each individual girl and to very big questions: Who is ‘A’? And who murdered Ali? The book does very well to supply red herrings and lots of clues about the possibilities; nevertheless making sure that not too much is revealed making the reader want to read on. The book also supplies a cliff hanger at the end of each chapter, where the character that the chapter is based around receives a message off ‘A’ revealing another one of their secrets. The techniques if very clever as it constantly wanted to make me read on to find out more about these girls lives. Overall I found the book interesting and gripping something I always book for in a book. I am currently reading the next book which just shows how much of an impression the first book made!
