Summary: True Friendship
Review: The name is a little goofy, and I will admit that I was a little hesitant to read it after receiving it for Christmas. But reading it definatly wasn't a let down! In fact, after finishing it I opened it up to the first page and read again, and again, and again.This story is the perfect addition to any teenager's collection. It shows that no matter how different your lives are, how dramastically different your experiences are, your friends are your friends no matter what. I can't wait for the sequel!

Summary: This book is great... if you are a 13 year old teenage girl!
Review: I received this book as a Christmas present from a friend of mine. She knows what a bookworm I am, and was sure that I would love this book. Well, I read the first chapter and thought to myself "you've got to be kidding me." As a college student, it wasn't exactly the great literature I usually read. But, since it was a present and did come with a remarkable recommendation, I took the hour it takes to read it, and still wasn't that enthralled. My conclusion is this: The book is great, if you are under 15 years old. It's cute, I'll give it that, but it is nothing special. And it's not because it's a teen/ young adult book either... I've read some absolutely amazing young adult books, and this one just doesn't compare. So, if you're around the age of 13, this book is great. Knock yourself out! But if you are anywhere over the age 15 or so, I wouldn't bother. It's nothing remarkable, and the plot is mediocre, at best! I mean, magic pants??? Come on! Go read some Harry Potter if you are looking for young adult magic. The sad thing is, to think that my friend absolutely adored this book really makes me wonder what other great pieces of literature she has read.

Summary: Read It Twice!!
Review: I have read this book twice and think that it is fabulous!! I can completely relate to at each of the girls in at least one of their situations, espicially Tibby. This book is a real tearjerker so have the Puffs box ready and wear waterproof mascara! Hehehe Go read it... But you don't have to take my word for it hehehe.

Summary: Meh...
Review: I'm sorry, I tried to like it, but I'm gonna have to be indifferent towards it. The only girl whose story I liked was Lena's. I could relate to Lena. Tibby was kinda boring, Carmen, well she was interesting, and Bridget...well she seemed...I can't think of anything nice. Who knows? Maybe if I give it a second read, then I might like it better. Who knows? Sisterhood of the travelling pants 2 that's coming out next april might be better, but as a seventeen year old girl...I'm gonna have to say, this didn't appeal to me like I thought it would. But don't let it stop you from reading and forming your own opinion.

Summary: A Great Teen Book!
Review: "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" is one of the best teen books I've ever read! When I first heard about it, I thought it was really corny - and it is built on the childish concept that this one pair of ordinary jeans fits four completely different best friends perfectly and changes their summer. But don't let that stop you from reading it. This is a funny, touching story of four girls who branch out the summer after their sophomore year - Lena to visit her grandparents' in Greece, Carmen to spend time w/ her dad in S. Carolina, Bridget to soccer camp in Baja California, and Tibby staying home in Maryland, working at Wallman's - and find themselves changed for the better. Unlike lots of teen books out there, it actually seems to capture teen girls' thoughts and keeps it realistic. I would recommend "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" to any teenage girl

Summary: Great Therapeutic Tool For Teenage Girls
Review: This book models how friendship can see teenagers through divorces, step-family-hood, the invisible child syndrome, deaths, and many other types of losses. A pair of blue jeans represents this friendship between the teens, even through their disagreements and across the miles that separate them the summer of the jeans. These four girls have strengths and weaknesses that cause them much angst; however, they help each other through their developmental trials by knowing each other so well and by being honest with one another.

Summary: A hilarious and fun read
Review: Just by reading the Prologue, the magic of THE PANTS whirls you into a fun and funny novel with distinct characters, realistic plotlines, and enjoyable conflicts.
Best friends Carmen, Tibby, Lena, and Bridget are spending the summer apart for the first time. The girls decide to send back and forth a pair of jeans Carmen uncharacteristically bought at a thrift store, writing their fondest and worst memories on each pant leg: a way to send a piece of themselves to each other.
Each girl's own story and destination are interlocked-accompanied by appropriate quotes descended from people, a Sears catalogue, and the book itself- in a magnetic way that keeps you reading.
I disliked certain conclusions of the book (I won't give anything away), because they were a bit rushed or sappy or unsatisfying, but overall, this was a great book that you can read again and again.
