The quirky world of Stars Hollow and the incredible relationship of the Gilmore Girls?mother Lorelai and daughter Rory are best friends?continues to engage viewers after seven seasons, with its lightning-fast dialogue, dry wit, and unusual take on family relations. In this satirical yet sensitive collection of essays, leading writers weigh in on how this unique show has successfully broken the teenage-sitcom mold and gained viewers of all ages. Addressing questions such as What are the risks of having your mother be your best friend? How is Gilmore Girls anti-family, at least in the traditional sense? and What?s a male viewer to do when he finds both mother and daughter attractive? this anthology also looks at how the characters are shaped by the pop culture they consume and how prevalent a feeling of class consciousness is within the series.

Wish'n there was a Luke's near me

If you love Gilmore Girls, you will enjoy this book. This book reviews some of your favorite Gilmore moments, with perspective and wit from true Gilmore Girls addicts.


(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.


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.
