From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up - This series installment chronicles a week and a half in the lives of Jonathan and his friends Mickey, David, Arno, and Patch. When they aren't partying and hobnobbing, the teens (occasionally) attend the hottest private schools and live in the world of Manhattan's elite. Jonathan has a crisis over his father's past business dealings that involved stealing huge sums from his friends' parents. Each boy also faces a series of romantic entanglements. The story is told in alternating third-person chapters and Jonathan's first-person narration. The book is similar to Cecily von Ziegesar's "Gossip Girl" titles, Zoey Dean's "The A-List" series (both Little, Brown), and other novels about the rich-and-fabulous crowd, with plenty of drinking, swearing, and talk about shopping and sex. It will appeal to fans of The O.C., Mean Girls, and other pop-culture teen artifacts. The book doesn't break any new ground, but its pacing, high drama, and general readability will make it a success. - Amy Patrick, New York Public Library

Review
'It's physically impossible not to fall madly, unreasonably in love with each one of the Insiders. Like a good party, you won't want this book to end. Afterwards, you'll need some time to recover, but the only real cure would be MORE' Cecily von Ziegesar, author of Gossip Girl

Couldn't Put It Down
I have to say, as a fourteen year old who is going through an enormous amount of relationship trouble, it is finally a relief to actually see a teen book series that is from a guys point of view. I was a little iffy on starting to read the series, but after the first book I got hooked. In some ways, I think this one is even better. You find out a lot more about the guys and especially about Jonathan's family. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop, and I guarantee that you won't be able to either. 'Pass It On' is one of the best teenage coming-of-age books I have ever read and I completely reccomend it to anybody who wants a guys point of view instead of a girls for once.

gossip girls from a guys' perspective
rummaging thru the teen section at the local barnes and noble.. i stumbled onto this book... i like to call these books.. THESE include gossip girl and any other book depicting teenage life at its best.. i.e. drinking, having sex, and having an abnormal sum of money to spend.. so. i like to call these books brain dead books.. why? dont ask.. so i bought this brain dead book with hopes of entertainment and a few dreamy moments, and i can proudly say that is exactly what i received.. entertainment and a few dreamy moments!

better than the first
The second Insider's book was funny, enjoyable, and definitely better than the first. I thought The Insiders was ...meh- nothing special. But when I read the Insiders 2, I felt a lot better about the series. The second book is much more addictive and exciting than the first, and I suggest you read it even if you didn't think much of the first Insiders.
