 If you've lived through and loved a lit crit class...this book's for you
I can't put my pencil down. I've been highlighting, boxing, and "starring" every page. I loved the Gilmore Girls, and this collection of essays reminds me why. Most of the essays are fabulous, except the one that suggests "most" teenage girls in Lorelei's position would get an abortion. I'd like that "fact" documented, please.
 Annoying delivery problems
This book and the other book I ordered it with took FOREVER to come!!! And of course I had to wait two months before I could track it down at the post office. VERY disappointed with level of customer service from both Amazon and UPS. Not sure if I'll order anything else from Amazon for a long time because of this.
Coffee at Luke's: An Unauthirized Gilmore Girls Gabfest (Smart
if you liked the Gilmore Girls you would like this book. They have a few of the quirky phrases that they say and explain some things from a different point of view. I like this book.
 (Semi-)Scholarly Analysis of Star's Hollow
I loved reading the essays, which analyzed everything from Emily (wow, most psychiatrists wouldn't take on that job) to the massive amounts of food consumed on the show. While I disagreed with the point made by a few of the essays, I think that the book points out the many subtleties that make Gilmore Girls a fan classic.
Did you ever notice the significance of Lorelai becoming a maid after leaving home? Emily fires maids every day, doesn't consider them human, and in season 6 calls them criminals who get their children to rob you. She said that to Rory, the child of a former maid. Little gems like that make this book a must-read. Plus, it gives you an excuse to break out the much-watched DVDs again.
not as fast paced as the show's dialogue
this is a scholastic look at a fantastic show. i miss it :( this should only be read by those very familiar with the show and the backgrounds of all the characters. i own all the dvds (don't judge) and have seen each episode numerous times...so i was able to picture scenes that the authors were talking about...have a cram session if necessary before reading :) these essays do make you look at the show from a new angle.
