Pretty Little Liars: Ali's Pretty Little Lies (Pretty Little Liars Companion Novel) Paperback – December 31, 2013

I love this book (have not finished it) if you have watched pretty little liars (on max) than you have to read this! It’s mystery and very much drama! I hope that you will read it and and watch the series!

This was a great read. I love finally knowing all that happened the night Ali died. I really enjoyed how this book humanized their Ali and I actually felt bad for her. You finally understand why she acted the way she did and see that the real Ali was always the evil twin. I also really liked how in the end of this book we see that the real Ali had an accomplice to help cover up her sister's murder, though we do not know who it is. Logic tells you that this person, who has been involved from the beginning, is at least one of the A's in the last few books, if not acting alone. The only problem I have with this book and the idea of the twins switching is fingerprints. Even identical twins have different fingerprints. Why would they not check their fingerprints before returning to the hospital? Especially in a case such as this? Though far-fetched, this book and the entire series are great reads.

I was looking forward to this book coming out. Couldn't decide whether or not to purchase it as an e-book or the hardcover. I decided to get it as an e-book for my tablet. And I'm really glad that I did I was able to start reading it late at night. Ali's Pretty Little Lies takes you back to the very beginning, and provides you with the back story of twins Alison and Courtney. Courtney basically decides that she has had it with her sister and switches places with Ali, sending the real Alison to the mental institution. Courtney convinces her parents and her brother that she is Alison. Courtney cons 4 girls Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer; and creates a new circle of popular friends. Sara Shepard does an A-mazing job with this book. I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the books and the series. You will be very pleased to find out what happens.

This book is very interesting. It goes back to 7th grade, right before Ali's death. It looks into the fear she had; Courtney was going to try and switch places with her. However, Ali had a boyfriend named Nick who was never mentioned in any other books, as she never wrote about him in her diary. It also details the manipulative tactics Ali used on her friends. However, you can see why she was sometime cruel and can develop a good idea of the psychopath the real Alison was.

I really enjoyed reading this book from Ali's (Courtney's) perspective. I think it filled a lot of gaps from the other books and gave insight as to why she acted the way she did. It also showed that she was human, not as flawless as the other girls thought she was. Ali and Courtney are definitely the most interesting characters and this was my favorite book of the series. I hope she does another book from real Ali's perspective or just one that gives more info about the DiLaurentis family in general, as they are all interesting and have a lot of secrets.

a great book and I honestly prefer it over the show.

I loved this book it felt awesome to finally get to understand Ali aka Courtney the girl who switched with the real Ali and c how her thoughts were and poor her her sister is crazy and it made me sad in the end to read what the real Ali did to the real Courtney and I this book is a page turner and definitely the best book yet in this series lol I loved it definitely worth the moneyXoxo kisses

It's very interesting to hear things from Ali's viewpoint, whether it's the real one or not. I kind of liked this, although I do not like Ali at all. She was manipulative and a sociopath. She only wanted friends so she could control them. So I didn't give this rating because I root for her or like her. The writing itself was good, and like I said it was interesting to hear things from her perspective on what happened. I do not like Ali, though and haven't really ever.
