The novel is a novel aimed at teens and preteens, mostly women, which already also made a movie (DVD only). Have also written several other novels after the original (I think There are currently more than 15) became a hit series with several best-sellers.
The novel is about a girl of about 12 to 13 years (7th grade) in a private school in New York. The "Clique" is the most popular girl group of that grade, but the world is altered when a girl reaches fewer resources to the city, are staying in the guest house of the leader (just behind his house) and above must go to school with her and her other friends.
The tone is quite superficial, that sounds like "Mean Girls" (Mean Girls with Lindsay Lohan), but the story is good and captivating. Handles good levels of tension throughout the plot.
Personally I liked it. I could not stop reading it. It took me like 2 or 3 days. Also do not have the classic "moral" that the novels tend to have teens and tweens. It is highly recommended (unless you think that all books must have a moral).
film
Contrary to what I expected, I liked it because it is quite faithful to the novel (within the possible, of course, say, moving a novel 200 pages to 90 minutes of film can not be done without a lot of omissions). I mean, it was obvious ke could not appear on film several scenes, as when Claire gets off the bottom of the bikini showing her buttocks and moving them to attract attention, especially considering the age of the protagonists.
However, is very cool and very fashion throughout the show despite the young age of the girls. The dress very consistent, from bikinis to micro-minis and micro-shorts, as we see in the picture below (click for larger view):
Anyway, the movie is pretty good, unfortunately could not reach in theaters by the audience it is addressed. And, unlike other similar films, it was directed to a very specific audience: girls 11 to 15 years mainly. This is an age at which they can now go to the movies alone (unlike the movie of the Bratz aimed at a younger age so who needed to go with their parents) and its major focus the female market, either was easy to go with the groom, and that is why we decided to take it out on DVD. Get it
-
The novel came out a English version published by Alfaguara, in any form is very difficult to find in the libraries (although it is best seller in English). Buy online is usually the most viable option.
-DVD
Like the novel, it is very difficult to find outside the United States. Not usually be in favor of piracy, but I think the best option to achieve would see it and then download it by torrent download subtitles.
