I adore Blair, Dan, Jenny, Nate, and Vanessa in the books! No matter what, I don't like Serena. I relate SO SO SO much to Jenny in the books because I'm really short as well (although she is 5'0" and I am 5'3.5") and I also am very...well endowed. Like Jenny, in the books, I am sweet, kind, artsy, naive, caring, and innocent. I also related so much to Blair, and fell instantly in love with her character IN THE BOOKS. Vanessa is so kick-ass in the books - she rocks! Nate is 90% the same in the books and TV show, so I actually prefer him in the TV show because he has a bigger personality. In the books, Serena is NOT a whore. She lost her virginity to Nate at age 16, and she hasn't slept with anyone since (she parties, but the sex rumors were all fake.) Blair loses her virginity to Nate when she is 18 after dating him for A YEAR AND A HALF, and she doesn't sleep with anyone else in the series! But Chuck...oh how I love him in the TV series!!!! In the books he is bi and has a pet monkey, and is a very background character. So for that reason, I love the TV series. Chuck and Nate are better in the TV series, I think. And Lily and Rufus, too!! <3 Blair is more-or-less the same, but her personality is way overdone (and she is never cruel or blackmailing in the books.) Serena's sluttishness is WAY OVERDONE in the TV series. JUST READ THE BOOKS PLEASE! BETTER MORALS, BETTER CHARACTERS, MORE SATIRE, MORE FUN, LOTS OF DRAMA, BUT NO HEART-BREAKING DRAMA THAT RESULTS IN DEATH OR PHYSICAL INJURY. I LOVE THE BOOKS SO MUCH!

But I think the one flaw she did give the S of the Books is that no matter how gorgeous or rich or smart she is, she doesn't have true love (Dan has Vanessa, Blair has Nate), doesn't really know what she wants out of life. She doesn't really want anything bc she has everything and that pisses her off. @Camille- I agree as well. But, I think that that's what makes it more realistic. Because people like that DO exist as opposed to everyone being rich, gorgeous AND nice on the show. I love the show but the point I'm trying to make is that the books are something you can really relate to. XO A* http://www.fabblab.blogspot.com @Sharon Tang- I agree.
