Summary: I loved this book!
Review: I loved this book! I got it because my mom saw that it was at the top of the best-sellers list and thought it sounded like a good book. I was like ok...whatever. I started reading it and thought it was ok....but as I got into the girls stories, the book was amazing! In the beggining i didn't like the way it went from girl to girl...but in the end i liked the way it left you in suspense. Every teenage girl should read this book. Trust me.

Summary: Awesome teen book!
Review: Lena, Carmen, Bridget, and Tibby have all known eachother since before they were born. Their mothers went to the same aerobics class and became friends when they were pregnant, so the girls grew up together. They have spent every summer together, but this year they are going to finally all go off in different directions. But before they go, they meet at Carmen's house and discover a pair of pants. Though they all have different builds, each girl fits the pants perfectly, and they all argue over who will have the pants. They decide that they will alternate, and each week, a different girl gets the pants. Over the summer, many things happen. Lena goes to Greece and meets Kostos. She doesn't trust him, and ends up almost ruining her vacation. Carmen expects to spend the summer with her divorced dad, but finds out that her dad is engaged. She suddenly becomes the evil stepdaughter and does everything she can to make her almost-stepmother miserable. Bridget goes to soccer camp and falls in love with an older coach, who is off-limits to counselors. She gets involved in a situation that is way too deep for her. And Tibby stays at home and decides to work. She hates it, but through it she meets a girl dying of cancer, and realizes what life means. Through this pair of pants, the girls do many things apart yet stay together. I loved this book. It was really funny and really serious at the same time. I got to know the characters really well, and by the end of the book I wanted to meet them all. The story moves quickly, but is really interesting. It is a bit hard to follow at times because it jumps back and forth from girl to girl in no particular order, but it is still managable. I loved this book, and would recommend it to anyone 13-16.

Summary: Great Teen Novel
Review: I really enjoyed this book. When others may have called this book a Teenie-bopper kind of thing. I think they are very wrong. This book is a great book for teens and people who like a story about how friendship REALLY works not some "Oh i'm so perfect" kind of book.

Summary: One of those heart-warming books!
Review: I know I'm just one of many reviews for this great book, but I just had to say MY thoughts about "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"! This is by far the best book I have ever read in my life. I'm not gonna re-type the story-line because there's a thousand summaries of the story on this page already. I just have to say READ THIS BOOK! It taught me so much about friendship, and along the way I laughed and even cried. This is one of those books you will never forget about... ever! Read this book, you won't be sorry!

Summary: I've read better, but I"ve also read worse
Review: After hearing so much about this book being SOOOO great from other people, I read it, expecting to be absolutely dazzled. But, I wasn't. It was good, but it definitely could have been better. The way it skips around from girl to girl, is on the borderline of confusing and cool.

Summary: A little too "quaint" Ya-Ya Sisterhood for Teenagers
Review: I checked out this book not realizing it was a book for young adults. I found it very entertaining, similar to "The Divine Secrets" without all the sex and violence. The girls are somewhat motif types with their personalities, and they just seemed a little too "good" and innocent. I had to keep reminding myself that the time period was now and not the 1950's. Also, Eric's speech to Bridget after their "evening together" didn't sound like any 19 year old boys I have ever known - far too mature and compassionate to ring true to me. But, overall, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to adults and teenagers alike.

Summary: The Sisterhood Of the Traveling Pants
Review: The Sisterhood of the Traveling pants was very well.. to be honest boring in the begining, and my mom always taught me to finish what you start and I am glad I did because this book turned out to be the best I have ever read. Tibby, Carmen, Lena and Bridget had such diffrent things going on in thier lives some painful and some exciting but when they had those magical pants they were confident,well most of the time anyway. Bridget had a broken heart, Lena was upset yet love struck, Carmen was trying to deal with her father's "new" family and Tibby well she was dealing with a death of a new friend. And since they didn't have thier friend's by their side...they got the next best thing, the pants.

Summary: Great book
Review: This is a great book! I realize that this is a shallow, nondescript statement, but it's true. Over the course of the book, you will fall in love with these four girls-Tibby, Bridget, Carmen, and Lena. You'll meet Bailey, Al (who is now Albert), Eric, Kostos, Molly, Bapi, Lydia, Duncan, Effie...wondering who all these people are? Then pick up a copy and find out! This wonderful story chronicles falling in love, losing a friend, and growing up, all over the course of a summer. If you are a teenage girl, this book should be your Bible!

Summary: Heartwarming and True
Review: How does one pair of jeans look fabulous and flattering on Tibby, Lena, Bridget, and Carmen, all with their different heights and body types? These pants are as special as the girls' friendship, which is about to be tested by a summer apart. As each girl prepares to go her separate way to learn a little, well, a lot more about the world and herself, the foursome promise to keep in contact by sharing this amazing pair of jeans. The girls write to each other and send around the jeans, and with it, their love and strength. The rules for wearing and sharing the jeans are as hysterical as their loyalty to each other is strong, and the jeans always seem to arrive in the mail just as each girl is really in need of her friends' support. Enjoy the quotes that begin each chapter!
