Not for nothing, I guess, is the much-maligned school slanged as OCD-those are, of course, the initials for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Insolent and self-obsessed, they are well on their way to various forms of addiction, leading one to visualize future titles as the 'Pretty Committee on Suicide Watch', 'Wannabes in Nine-Step' and 'Mass Funerals for Anorexics'. Yet these characters are no female version of Holden Caulfield. The popularity of the series indicates that an entertainment has at last been created for the anti-social portion of the literate juvenile market which has been neglected for so long. I'm not sure that I would buy a copy for any girl of gentle or loving personality a tender-hearted girl would simply be put off by the antics of these dum-dums. If I had a daughter like one of these, not only would I send her to a Muslim country for a reality check, I would be afraid to unbar her door at night. Vain, greedy, cruel, pampered, and superficial to the Nth degree, the 'pretty committee' have a horrid charm, rather the observation of a five car pile-up-one cannot look away. The characters of 'The Clique' series are spoiled brats that anyone but a twelve-year-old girl would love to hate.
