@Phillymom80 I would absolutely recommend reading the books, the story line for "A" in the books (in my opinion) is far better than the show.

I liked the books well enough until the big secret was revealed, but it felt unnecessary when they kept going. I think I ended up reading 11 of them before I stopped, and that was tough because I'm not actually a fan of the writing.

I actually prefer the show, which is pretty rare for me. I'm kind of annoyed with where the show seems to be going, but I'd still rather watch more of it than read another PLL book.

I had a hard time getting into the books, but I love the tv series. Both me and my mother are practically addicted to it, and we are both sad that it's coming to an end soon.

Definitely the books, I watched the first season of the TV show only. It was all right, but a bit too much like Gossip girl to me. I think they should've stopped at maybe second or third season (sum it up a bit), I can't believe there are so many episodes.

I haven't read books of Pretty Little Liars, but the show is amazing and one of my favorite.

I watched the tv series of the P.L.L. I have read the books . Maybe , I will do that some day. Right now, there are so many books to read.
