The Insiders J Minter Books Reviews

I am a 21 yr old male who has always loved reading serial teen novels (SVH, Animorphs, etc) to stand alone teen novels(Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys) because it keeps me coming back for more and I look at them more as TV Shows in book form. But that was back in high school. After reading an article about Gossip Girl, I decided to give it a try, but it was kinda hard to put faces on all those differnt girls and stuff so I then read about The Insiders and I was like..."Finally, a guy's point of view." So I picked it up and fell in love with this book. I like that it was written by a male, because I am an aspiring writer and I didn't know if people wanted to read serial books that featured guys who did more than play sports and wasn't sci-fi related or something. Secondly, I loved the characters and how they interacted. It was a well thought out novel and I enjoyed the hell out of it. To be accurate, the article that lead me to this series was about it being turned into a TV show for FOX...I can imagine Jonathan Taylor Thomas as...well, Jonathan and I hope that this show will be picked up because it has the full potential to be a weekly series and is likely to stir up controversey the way Dawson's Creek did when it premiered. All in all, a great book and I can't wait to buy the next one. Kudos, to Mr. J. Minter for representing us guys and on a job well done doing it.
This great book about spoiled, hot, goergous, insanly rich (and yet still very nice) guys has been a long time coming! I mean we have Gossip Girl which is AWSOME, but what about the dudes? Well in this new series you'll get to know the five hottest guys in NYC! Meet Micky The sweet and quite possibly insane Romeo of the group, who will do anything to impress his Juliet (like falling off a roof maybe?) David The sensitive jock. Arno the quote "Sluty stud." Patch The cool laid back guy in the group, so laid back he's MIA -missing in action-. And Jonathan The glue that holds the group together... THE INSIDERS. Oh and there's Kelli Jonathan's skanky, and DEFINITELY insane cousin who won't stop until she has NYC falling at her feet. GREAT BOOK AND WAITING IN SUCH ANTICIPATION FOR NUMBER TWO!!!
I've never read any of the Gossip Girl books, but I do plan to, so I can compare. I thought this was totally different from anything I had ever read. I like the way it goes from First person to third person. That was really different. It was a little confusing at first but it really turned out to be good.
So, I saw the first title of the series at half-priced books because I am 25 and still have a guilty pleasure for Young Adult series novels (don't judge me, haha.)

So I read it and I have to say that it was the quickest and most entertaining read that I have had in a long time. I don't see how this series isn't/wasn't more popular; in fact, after reading the first one, I was ready to read the second but finding the next book was so difficult! I have no idea why? Also, I was hoping to find a website dedicated to the series, but no such luck... it has been deleted and replaced with the writer's newest series (which is a spin-off of this one). So publisher's, if you are reading this, bring back the website! Put it on audio CD even, I will totally buy it!
At first, I was a little disapointed because I thought the Insiders would be more funny and Gossip Girl-like, but it was still very good.

The Insiders tells the story of a group of 5 guys who are supposed to be best friends, but find themselves drifting apart and fighting over girls. The main character, Jonathan, seems to be the only one trying to keep them together. They call him the "glue" that holds the group together. Mickey Pardo, the son of a rich art-seller, is the weird and romantic type. His girlfriend's dad doesn't want them to be together-- very Romeo and Juiliet. Arno is the man-slut of the group; he steals David's girl away, and then falls for Jonathan's cousin. David is the sensitive, emo guy. And Patch is the cute, dreamy one who often disapears for days at a time. Over the course of the book, the guys have to bind together to look for Patch, who seems to be away on one of his wanderings longer than usual.

My only complaint about this book is that the characters are pretty flat and somewhat stereotypical. The author only gives the characters the specific traits that make them "the Jock" or "the player". I think the Insiders would be significantly better if the writer tried to round out the characters a little more.

All in all, an entertaining, fun book. I recommend checking it out at the library.
Cecily Von Ziegesar has given this book an enthusiastic thumbs up and it sis said that there will be a sequel called, PASS IT ON. I didn't think that there would be enough interest in a sequel but i'm glad to hear I was wrong. Maybe the author, J Minter, will explain the attraction between David and Jonathan, whose names are taken from the story of the Bible's most famous and homoerotic friendship. Or we might hear more about Flan Flood and her zany family of oddly named, but beautiful strangers. I think that J Minter should tone down the way Jonathan has a shoe fetish. It is something that sits well on Carrie from SEX IN THE CITY, but when it happens to a guy, it just sounds like he's a nitwit. However, it may be that Minter is tapping into a deep;y felt nerve and that a lot of guys and girls want to find out about a boy who has so much money he gets another pair of shoes every Friday as a sort of ritual.

Maybe in the sequel the British painter who made hearts a-flutter in book One will return from England with a new exhibition of paintings, and himself. He is kind of like Damien Hirst, but cuter and younger. Maybe the sequel will be even more of a rip off of Catcher in the Rye crossed with Gossip Girl crossed with Less than Zero, that would be hard to do but if anyone could do it, it might be J Minter, who speaks to young people like a style guru.
This is such a great series. It's so addicting and I just couldnt put it down. This is a must read.
