I don’t know that this series’ intention was to point out the Facebookisation of the world, but it spotlighted it brilliantly. I’m sitting here, writing this review, and I have text open on my phone, chats on Facebook going, and I check Twitter every few minutes. Here’s the odd part: I got it immediately. The books are written all in text message form, which–as a Lit major–should have taken me awhile to get used to. The Internet Girls series follows the lives of three Atlanta girls who are BFF’s: wild-child Maddie, relatively normal Angela, and the quiet, bookish Zoe. I went to Amazon to read a synopsis, and somehow my finger hit the “Buy With One-Click” or whatever button, and there it was, on my Kindle. What happened was I read an article on banned books, and this was mentioned. I hadn’t originally intended to read this book (or this series), and I’m writing one review for the whole series.
