Great Book! Funny, Interesting, Relaxing...
I really love this book and I'm proud of myself, because I bought this. If you have seen the movie, this might be good for you to read. I mean, here is totally much more than in the movie. This is funny and fresh! If you're now thinking that should I buy this or not, then I say to you "Do it!"

Mother of two teenagers....
...and yes, I admit it, I read it! My teenage daughter brought it home for an assignment and lacking anything to read, I picked this up and finished it in one sitting! It is a little on the immature side for an adult of my age but, for a teenager, this is a funny, valley girl book. It's about a young lady named Cher and the book is about her daily mishaps, her friends and the ups and downs of a rich teenager living in Beverly Hills. My girls usually 'moan' through their reading assignments because the books are usually "boring" but I was amazed to hear chuckles of laughter while this book was being read. I'm sure they were wondering why mum wasn't inquiring about their laughter but then again, why should I? I'd already read it! Mum's and dad's, this would make an excellent birthday, xmas gift for your teenage girls. Great book!

GREAT SUMMER READING
I thought Clueless by H.B. Gilmour was a terrific book! It is quick, easy, and most importantly FUN reading for a day on the beach, a car trip, or just in the privacy of your own home! The book stayed very close to the movie but I liked the book a tad bit better because I liked learning more about the characters. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the Clueless series!

A Bit Different Then The Others...
This Rockett's World book was a bit lame in the storyline department, but it was funny to see all of the characters reactions to the puppy and how they tried to keep it a secret. Nicoles drama queen sequence was unesscessary but interesting. I thought the fact you got to know more about Rockett's home life [or her sister Juno] was a fresh approach to the Rockett series. The storyline may've been a bit little kiddish but the book is not too bad.

Great Book
It shows how you can count on really good friends. Great book.

A Interesting Book
I thought this was a very good book! It showed real life, as all the rockett books do. i recomend it to girls ages 9-14. the computer games are great too.

Thrilling revelations in the fourth book
Cam and Alex would never have even imagined they would be in Montana for the long weekend, but that is exactly where they are after Alex receives an email from her old friend Lucinda who is desperatly in need of her help after her other friend Evan gets into trouble. Not is not the only reason they are in Montana either. Alex's old dad Ike has reappeared and is challenging the Barnes for adoption of Alex. So the T*Witches are back on the case. Things don't really start on the right foot either. Evan is definitely hiding something and it appears Thantos has followed them here as well. A mysterious incident that results in Ike's death looks very much like Thantos' doing. What has he in store for the twins? T*Witches #4 Dead Wrong was really really good. Plus we finally have revelations about Ileana and the twins relationship. And yes! She is their relative and her father is someone no one would suspect. I have a pretty good idea and it was just thrilling to read the revelations! An all out great book to add to the series!

A wintery adventure spells a fiery doom for the twins...
Alex's dad is still out there, waiting for the chance when he'll be able to take back Alex from her twin sister Cam's parents and use his daughter for all his needs. That's why the last place Alex thought she'd ever be is her frosty hometown, Montana. Alex and Cam are there because her old-time friend, Evan, is in desperate need of help. Evan won't reveal what's going on in their place, but Cam and Alex know that it's something deadly. As they try to unlock the mysteries, they're also suspicious that Thantos has followed them, after encountering a gruesome experience that must be linked to Thantos. But another mystery remains unclear in Montana, and that is the mystery of their pasts. Are Cam and Alex ever going to discover the truths that have always been so mysterious to them, especially now -- if they even survive Montana? T*Witches #4: Dead Wrong is the mysterious fourth book in the series, and has an intense plot until the end. Although it's the shortest book yet in the series, its thrills and revelations have made it my favorite book in the T*Witches series. I can't wait for the fifth book, which will no doubt be even more shocking.

Some of the best books in the world!
I read Harry Potter first and those are my favorite books, but when i started reading T*Witches, I was really surprised! They were as good as Harry Potter! Now i am reading the third and im almost done. I hope H.B. Gilmour and Randi Reisfield never stop writing these books because I love them!

Not As Good As Expected
Don't get me wrong--it was a very good book. So the twins get to meet Miranda, their mother. What suddenly bore me off was that Cam and Alex had to go in search of Dylan, who was captured by an unknown person whatsoever. The whole plot about finding Dylan was so predictable, senseless, and boring. Otherwise, it's mysterious and possibly recommendable for mystery fanatics. I, in my opinion, expected much more from this book. I thought that they'd deliver more messages, and reveal more information about the twins' past. The truth is, if you skipped this book, and bought the next one, you'd get the whole idea anyway.

Absolutlely fantastic :) :)
I thought this books layout was virtually enthralling. From the opening sentence I was hooked by Cam's and Alex's mixed up family tree and unpredictable powers. I found myself wishing that they could find their mother and become a happy family, even thoughh I knew that it was unlikely that would be the scenario. I encouarge anyone who enjoys the suspense of a mystery novel along with the magic that could only be matched by a J.K. Rowling book to pick up, not only this book, but the whole series.

Double awsome!!
I think that this is the best book its awsome the eding is sad but the first few chapters are really interesting its the easiest one to get into but read the books in order so you understand it. You find some really amazing things about Ileana aand you don't know what to think.I was shocked.I found out about Thantos and it really makes you think about him but anyway i dont want to give away all the good parts cause there are better ones that will make you wish all the books were out already.I hope that this was helpful [...].

Interesting
This book is very interesting to mw because the girl is very different. She does not seem to care what people think of her. I liked the fact that she met Blane but I don't like how his friends pressured him. If they were his friends they did not have to accept his girlfriend becaue she was not their girlfriend.

I loved this book
I loved this book, like the title says. I am very disappointed that the publisher stopped printing it because everyone should read it. The book basically follows the same way that the classic movie does. All the characters and everything that happens is basically the same, i don't really want to give anything away so--read it!

An unknown enemy....
Cam and Alex have learned the truth about their pasts, and who their real parents are. Alex, who has had to move from her place since her mother died, is learning to adjust to Cam's school and her house, but tensions within her are rising for her mother's death. But it seems that the evil Thantos, who murdered their real parents, is out to get them again -- either to use their powers for evil, or destroy the twins. They know Thantos has sent a messenger to get them, only they don't know who this messenger is -- they can't suspect everyone they meet. But there's the lure of Cade, the new kid at school, he seems to be very secretive. Cam and Alex need to get to the bottom of the mystery, if they can survive the evil that surrounds them -- and the forces conspiring to get them. T*Witches #2: Building A Mystery is a great second book in this magical new series. I thought the first book was a little dull, but the second book was very exciting -- and kept me turning the pages throughout.

The thrilling second book in the T*Witches series.
Fourteen-year-olds Camryn and Alexandra discovered they were identical twin witches, separated at birth, by accident. But fate has conspired to keep them together, as they discover that together their powers are stronger than apart. Now that Alex's adoptive mother has died, she has been given a home with Cam's wealthy adoptive parents in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Alex, raised in poverty in rural Montana, feels out of place among her sister's friends and classmates. Not only that, but they have received a warning from their guardian, Ileana, that a minion of Thantos's has entered their lives, disguised as a friend. Now their very lives are in danger, if they do not find out who that person is. Cam suspects Cade, the new boy that Alex has a crush on. Cade does seem to be hiding a secret, but could he really be evil, and planning to hand the twins over to Thantos? All readers who enjoyed the first book in the T*Witches series will want to read this one. I can't wait until the third book, Seeing is Deceiving, is released.

This book keeps you on the edge of your seat.
From seventh grader Stacey: When Apolla and Artmeis, aka Cam and Alex, were born, their father was killed by his own brother. Tantos, their uncle, knows how powerful their power is and wants to take advantage of them. They are put into separate homes in which Illana and Karsh, their protectors, will keep them safe. The twins finally meet a few months before their 15th birthday, and their power is unreal. They are very powerful but are they powerful enough to beat Tantos?

LIKE, TOTALLY...WHATEVER!
I think Cher's Guide to...Whatever! is defenitly THE book for all you Clueless fans! If you loved the movie, you'll get a kick out of this book! The defenite guide for the Clueless Guy/Gal for the 90's.

Best book!!!
This book is definatly enjoyable. True, while most normal people don't have half as many luxuries as Cher does, this book actually made me have a more positive attitude on the subjects mentioned. This book also has actual scenes from the movie mentioned, along with other scenarios. Enjoy this book!!!!!!!!!

a FABULOUS companion
Clueless is my all time favorite movie (out of 5 other "favorite movies") and this book is a great companion to the movie. It has all the funny stuff about the Beverly Hills richies, just like in the movie. It is hilarious! And it's got some great B&W photos from the movie. A great book for all Clueless lovers.

This is the 3rd best book...
Although its shorter then the other 5 Rockett books this book deals with Rockett trying to organize the WPJH talent show after making some poor choices. Find out who helps her and if the talent show is a total flop or a great show! Who does what? Who ends up in the show? And how does Rockett solve everyones problems? Find all of this out in this awesome Rocketts World adventure!

Great! But could've been MUCH better!
"Who's Running This Show", was a great book in Lauren DAys' Rockett's World series. Its MY 3d most fav! It talks about Rockett who's totally new at this school Whistling Pines! She has to make lots of decision and every step she makes could change the WHOLE story. In tHis particular one, Rockett gets to be stage manager of the class talent show, but being in charge means making alot of choices that may or may not hurt her friends feelings.And now Rockett's not really sure if she wants the job! I like Rockett the best, but in this book she wasn't all that...well, herself, to me it sounded as if it got really confusing and everything changed. But it still was a great book and u should read it!

Awesome!
This is a totally cool book - one of the best Rockett books yet! New girl Rocket Movado is stage manager for the Whisting Pines High School talent show. This book is cool because it's a journey through Rockett's mind, sharing her experiences and viewing her decisions and their outcomes. One little decision from Rockett can chnage everything.

Interesting dialogue...
As identical twins born with magic powers but then separated to keep them safe, Alexandra Fielding and Camryn Barnes have no idea of the other's existence. In terms of personality, they are completely difficult: Alex is sharp and sarcastic; Cam is smart and popular, but each hides a secret: Alex hears the words people think but don't say, while Cam predicts events before they happen. If the two were to meet, their magical potential would be incredible, and predictably, this book chronicles what happens when the twins finally discover each other's existence after a chance encounter at a theme park...

After reading this book, I have one major complaint: the dialogue. I can't seriously believe that anyone in the real world really talks this way: every second word seemed to be slang and "So", "Like" and "Totally" were completely overused. Also: the sub-plot involving the missing pop-star just didn't really add anything and some of the characters (particularly the twins' respective friends) were a little annoying. Anyway, apart from these points, this was a quick, fun read and I think I'll probably read the next instalments in the series if and when they appear in my library. But no, after reading this I was not filled with an overwhelming compulsion to rush out and buy the next book and I don't imagine I'll want to re-read "The Power of Two". I wouldn't think anyone over the age of twelve would find much challenge in reading this, although the teenspeak can take some time to figure out. Older readers interested in Wicca should try Cate Tiernan's "Sweep" series.

T*witches-the Power of Two
This is, in my humble opion, one of the best "T*witches" books. It is a great fantasy/mystery and I invite all to read it.

Camryn Barnes and Alexandra Fielding have never heard of each other. They don't know that except for Alex's hair, they look totally alike. Alex, the sarcastic one, lives in Montana in a tiny with her buddies and a smoking mom(her dad left). She is perfectly normal except for the fact that move things without touching them and hears things. Cam, calm,lives in a house that can fit Alex's trailer in it. She too is perfectly normal except that she can blind people on the soccer field.(you'll find later in the book that she can heat things up and has visions)

Separated at birth and given to their adoptive parents, the two meet unexpectedly at Big Sky(a theme park). What would you do if you saw someone who looked exactly like you? Probably ignore your excited friends and try to forget the whole thing. Yup, thats what they did at first. But when Alex's mom dies, a strange man comes and Alex finds herself at Cam's house. Together, they unite their power and solve their first mystery together. Using their powers, though, unsure in the begining, they figure out where the missing famous singer is.

This was a great adventure book and I think everyone should read it. Its fast and thrilling and you find yourself in the middle of it

I LOVE this book
This seiries is one of my favorites of all time. Funny and witty, the authors posses a special talent to make you like these characters.
If you are looking for a book about Wiccans, I wouldn't reccomend this book. This book is more of a traditional book about witches.
Camryn Barnes and Alexandra Feilding live in oppisite worlds. Alex lives with her single mother in a trailer, and her mother has cancer. Cam lives in a whole other state with her mother, father and brother. Cam is popular and athletic, a pretty girl with a streak of perfection. Alex is punky and sarcastic, and has great friends-all two of them. She has streaks too-blue ones, in her hair!
There are only a few things they share-their face,and their magical powers.
They're twins.
It's quite a shock to them too. When Alex's mother dies, she goes to live with Cam's family. There, in Marble Bay, a teen Britney-like diva called Marleigh Cooper (who's #1 hit song is Whoops Was that Me?) was kidnapped.
It's up to them to use their powers to solve a mystory of Marleigh-and their parents!
I loved this book. It may seem vauge about their parents, but the identity of the parents is supposed to be a mystery. So go read this book!
