I thought she was obnoxious and full of herself - everything had to be her way or it was "gigundoly awful." I didn't see a huge difference in the way she was portrayed in the LS books as opposed to the BSC books... we got a lot more of Karen's point of view in the LS books, but it didn't make me like her any better.

I don't remember thinking that much about it at the time, but re-reading the books now... she's pretty lucky Mrs. Thomas didn't go bridezilla on her for screaming like that during the wedding. The whole Morbidda Destiny thing is super-obnoxious. And when Dawn takes them to the playground and she traumatizes all the kids there?! Seriously! It made me realize why I never did that much babysitting. (Not to belabor the obvious but I just re-read Kristy's Big Day) I agree — I reallllllly hate Karen.

However, they were probably aimed at a slightly younger audience. I guess it was more exciting reading about awesome grown-up thirteen year olds...

I started reading the LS books first. (Karen's Ducklings was the first one i read) , and I was definitely a lot like Karen when i was younger... I like to think i've mellowed out some Lol I never minded Karen, though now that i’m older I can definitely see her as annoying. I started reading the LS books first.

Cute! myu: I always disliked the friend fights, even thought they brought the drama...Karen was a bit too much "we should always do things my way" and that could get really annoying after awhile.

I read the BSC first, and I liked the LS books enough -- they related to the BSC, after all.. but I guess I just always though they were written for "babies"... you know? I've been reading the ones I find, and I don't hate them. I do like Karen better when she is narrating though. I kind of wish they had done everyone's little sister -- Becca, and Vanessa, Margo and Claire, and even Charlotte could count as a Little Sister. I remember thinking that when I was younger too. :( I didn’t really like Little Sister books that much.

I honestly don't have much memory of any storylines specifically involving her in BSC. I really liked Karen when I read the LS books–although admittedly I haven’t read them since I was 11 or so.

Even when I was only a year older than Karen myself I thought she seemed babyish, petty and a bit annoying. She's forever arguing with her friends and doing too many stupid, nasty things for me to like her. Fair enough, I've only read a few LS books (just over ten, I think), but I don't think Karen is different enough for me to actually like her.
