Summary: This was a good book!
Review: Overall, I thought The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was a great book to teach children that no matter if you have friends or don't have friends, you must always have a positive attitude and that is what will reward you with a good outcome.
This book was very descriptive and it gives you a good perspective of how challenging life may be without your friends. I think people who enjoy having their friends around and spending time with them and are sad when their friends aren't there should read this book.
Each character has a special trait that they might or might not like, just like me. To me Lena was a good character in the book because she knew of some traits that she liked and didn't like. She is also a very kind person and I think that is a great trait to have.
I think every girl in that book has realized that life isn't so bad without your friends and that someone is always there who cares.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great book you Won't want to Put Down!!
Review: I loved the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and its sequel. It was so easy to get into the book and I seriously had trouble putting it down! It also inspired my friends and I to start our own sort of sisterhood...it's great! A serious must read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book for all ages
Review: If it is true that Brashears wrote this as a book to "stick with young readers" like the books she read as a youth did, then she has succeeded and then some.

PANTS is one of the sweetest books I have read in a long time. It truly reminded me of the Judy Blume books I read as a youth (and that was before MTV kids). It's an easy read, and though it's supposedly for younger readers (teens/tweens), I enjoyed it immensely and I'm almost old enough to be the mom of these characters. Yes, it's predictable, especially if you're over the age of 14 and have read any books in your life, but that doesn't make it any less poignant.

It's rare that someone captures the importance and strength of female friendships and doesn't try to damage it by having one of the girls date another girl's boyfriends. The description of friendship in this book is so true and pure....even if your 15 or 50!

My only complaint is that she never really fleshes out what happened with Bridget at camp. But I guess we'll find that out in the next book, though I can assume it was something very important and I think I can assume she scored on and off the field. If this is the case, it would be great if Brashears expounds on how this experience affected Bridget more than just making her sad. It might help a lot of the young readers of the book sort out their thoughts/feelings about making the decision I think Bridget did. Yes, I'm being a bit vague to protect those who have not read the book yet.

My hope is that we see these girls through high school and college. That is a series I could really get into.

I also liked her use of quotes to signal the chapters. Nice touch, especially for us older readers who have attached great significance to many of those quotes (particularly the song lyrics, ahem.."In Your Eyes"). READ THIS BOOK.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Review: I thought that The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was interesting enough. Some parts it was slow, but I still enjoyed it. I liked how the girls had real teenage problems. There is romance, but it's definately NOT typical. I really liked this book. But, have your parents read it before. They might not want you to read it. There is some mature content in there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books i have ever read!
Review: This is a fantastic book!!! The book begins with a group of best friends. They are all leaving each other for thhe first time ever. They all are really excited about leaving but are also sad that they will have to leave each other.
One of the girls had bought a pair of pants at a thrift store. (She had never tried them on) One girl sees them and wants them so she tries them on. They fit her PERFECTLY!! The next girl tries them on and they sit on her curves like a glove! The same happens with the other girls. They decide to share the pants all summer and send them to each other when they are done.
Many things happen to the girls over the summer while they are wearing the pants. Then at the end they all write the things that happened to them on the pants.
If you enjoy books like Angus,Thongs,and Full Frontall Snogging, The Princess Diaries series, and Sloppy Firsts you will definitly love this book and understand why it was a New York Times bestseller! If you love this book make sure to check out the sequel!!!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: a 7th grade students review
Review: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was a great book. The story takes four friends,Carmen,Tibby,Bridget,and Lena,with four different body types and makes one pair of pants fit them all. The pants also get traded between each girl for two weeks each. Supposedly the pants bring luck. This is an excellent book and I would recommend it to any Middle School student.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read it, read it!
Review: I loved this book. It took me away and let me spend time with each character and I loved each one.
I bought the book for my 14year old niece, but I read it first and hated to give it away! It was fun, made me laugh out loud and spirited. I don't know that my niece has read it, but I'm ordering the second book and can't wait to receive it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Katie's Thoughts
Review: The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants, by Ann Brashares, is a very realistic and exciting novel! It revolves around a pair of "magical" pants that four unique best friends: Tibby, Carmen, Lena, and Bridget each spend time with. Ann Brashares writes, in depth, different stories of each of the girls' summer in which they spend away from each other for the first time since their friendship began. Each girl spends one week with the pants and benefits from their experience. They each learn a lot from their experiences, not only about themselves, but about other people too. Teenage girls can very much relate to these characters and seek help from problems they come upon and resolve. I learned a lot from the experiences of the characters and I recommend it to other teenage girls who can learn as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Wonderful Story of Love, Friendship, and Reality
Review: When 4 best friends, Lena, Bridget, Carmen, and Tibby prepare for their first summer apart they rely on a pair of "magical" pants to keep them together. Lena the beautiful friend goes to visit her grandparents in Greece. Tibby the rebellious friend stays at home, while working at a store called Wallman's. Bridget the athlete goes to soccer camp in Baja, California. Last, Carmen goes to visit her single father in South Carolina. They all have different experiences with the pants, some good, and some bad. But they believe that it is the "magical" pants that got them through those tough times. It is a wonderfully written novel that lets you explore the lives of 4 very different teenagers. It is a story that every girl can relate too. It is funny, uplifting, and touching. At times I wanted to cry and at times I wanted to laugh. It truly is an amazing novel that every girl, especially teenagers, should read.
