yea i know this isnt fearless but fp wrote this so i though y not...
omg wow i found out what FP gave up fearless for her new project.... The Ruling Class
In the posh suburban Dallas high school of Highland Park, the beautiful and perfect Jeanette Sue is queen. The Ruling Class, her clique of spectacularly cruel girls, runs the school. Brutally. And no one questions them. Certainly not the little suck-up Myrna Fry, (main character) whose only aim in life is to be part of the Ruling Class, no matter what or who gets trashed.
It's a nightmare school caught in the grips of terror until the arrival of the totally undesir-able, absolutely unfashionable, and -- way worse -- poor Twyla Gay Stark. And then, of course, there is the tall and gorgeous hunk, Ryder McQuaid, Jeanette Sue's property. Or so Jeanette Sue thinks.
With uncanny insight and unforgettable characters Francine Pascal has created a searing, up-close look into the power games and class struggles within a seemingly friendly clique in a suburban high school. The Ruling Class is a magnetic tour de force created by a master storyteller at the top of her form.
What is she trying to write about just the FOH'S now!!! i read the first 2 chap i must say i dont like it very much fearless was much better

blah, it doesnt sound too good to me, but i'll prolly end up reading them anyway. it sounds like a repeat of sweet valley high, only mixed with "mean girls". not my cup of tea.

I read the thing, it sounded shallow. I don't care if she(myrna fry?) becomes popular or not, she sounds like a bitch. The popular people didn't even sound that scary...I mean, everyone wants to be popular, it's just reading about a normal girl. She's shallow too.
What does FP think, that after reading fearless people would like this? It sounds like total crap to me... <_<

I've heard of that. But Queen Bees and Wannabees isn't an actual story, it just explains how popularity works. Anyway, I might end up reading the ruling class when fearless is over and i'm bored, but it's just not my style...I don't think francine(or her ghostwriters?) know how high school really works. I'm a juinor, and there's not really a popular crowd...I think this is just mean girls written down in a book.

I really don't like it. At all. The people that read these books aren't going to be the same audience as for the Fearless books. It doesn't look like there is any action in it at all. And Myrna or whatever her name is, is a real bitch. And the RC's don't even really like her.

Yeah, I hate Myrna. What a bitch. I don't care if she's popular or not, she's no Gaia. Francine really crapped out this time. How could anyone actually like it?

I hate it, but I might end up reading it anyway. :lol:

sounds kinda stupid. I prefer when there is something weird going on in a story.

lol, thats true. no matter how bad it sounds, i dont think many of us could just let the series sit there without checking it out.

I like reading stuff like that...don't know why. I guess they're just funny to laugh at. Of course, Fearless is much better.

hi doesnt sound as good as others francine pascals book,but i am going to buy it,anyway.it sounds little same like Gossip Girl and the A-List series,i have read those too.Only Fearless fans may not like it,not of mucha ction and shallow people,but I read all kinds of books,and i have read all newest Francine Palscals books so far.
totallyscamed - October 10, 2004 11:01 PM (GMT)
i kinda like it. it sounds interseing. that doesnt't mean i like the characters very much though. the whole point is that they're all shallow. of course you think she's an idiot, you're supposed to.
FearlessAngel - October 11, 2004 05:24 PM (GMT)
I think it sounds alright.... Nothing close to Fearless, though, of course, but I'm gonna read it.
sydney78 - October 24, 2004 12:26 PM (GMT)
Hi! I just finisned Ruling Class today.It wasnt as good as other Francine palcals books,but it does discribed bullying girl clicgue at worst.It got better to the end.End scene was good.Maybe not worth buying,you can wait and get it library later.Bye for now.

to me this book is trying to be like gossip girl/ sweet valley/ the insiders. and it's not doing a very good job at it
FearlessFan13 - November 6, 2004 08:07 PM (GMT)
:ph43r: This book reminds me of "Mean Girls" lol stupid popular girls. I hate it. nice try FP.
Mary Moss - November 6, 2004 08:17 PM (GMT)
Yeah, it's shallow. But I might read it anyway. Shallow things sometimes interest me. Maybe because I'm shallow? Huh. :blink:
FearlessAngel - November 6, 2004 08:44 PM (GMT)
Count me in on the shallowness. Hee.
Bradhadair - July 5, 2005 03:34 PM (GMT)
so, it's like wannabe-Gossip Girl. Nah, I'll pass
