Rating:  Summary: My November Book Report Book is one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: For my November Book Report, I did Ann Brashare's (a great author) first novel, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I highly recommend this book. It is about 4 BBs (best buds) and their first summer apart. Their names are Carmen, Lena, Bridget, and Tibby. Carmen is visiting her father in South Carolina, the first time she has been there since her parents' divorce. Lena and her sister go to visit their grandparents in Greece. Bridget goes to a soccer camp in Baja, California, (which is really part of Mexico) and falls in love with one of the coaches. (She's the sporty type) And Tibby, she is the one who is the most upset about not being with her friends because she has to stay home in Washington D.C., but ends up meeting a 12-year-old, and they become good friends. She soon finds out that Bailey, (the 12-year-old) has a certain kind of cancer, Luekimia. My favorite character is Bridget, first of all because it's exciting to read about the daring things she does, and second of all because soccer is one of my favorite sports. I hope you like my Review! See ya'
Rating:  Summary: i loved this book!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Review: OMG! i loved this book. i would suggest this book to any teenage girl.this is a book about true bonding and it's a wonderful story plot. everyone should read this book!
Rating:  Summary: Pretty Good Review: I thought it would be better, but it was pretty good. I've never read a book like it. I liked the way that there was more than one main character, all with their own problems that they have to solve by the end of the summer.
Rating:  Summary: suprisingly entertaining book Review: my mom bought this book for me during a weekend convention and i figured it would be boring and slow-moving like many of the books she purchases for me. the title also seemed a little over the top like the book might seem to "try to hard" or something. i started reading it, however, and although at the beginning the characters were just a little hard to keep track of after the first chapter i couldn't put the book down. i read the book within a couple hours, wishing the book would last for days. The four different stories about the girls each had a great message and kept you on the edge of your seat. the characters were also very well written and i loved the Bridgit, the enthusiastic, energetic girl of the group of friends because she reminded me of my own friend bridgit. The whole story was very well written and brought together in a creative way. this book is definitally worth reading, it is an enjoyable experience.
Rating:  Summary: One Of The Best Review: I loved this book! I couldnt put it down, I read it in a day. When I first saw it, I admit I was drawn to the cover, but the creativity and humor goes way past that. Through each girl I saw a little of myself and my own friends. Each character is extremely believeable and so are the situations they get into. For once someone has written a book describing how teens really feel about things, about adult things! I love this book, and I reccommend it to everyone. I can't wait to see whatelse this author comes out with.
Rating:  Summary: EXCELLENT! Review: This book was so amazing! I loved all the quotes at the beginning of every chapter! My firend gave it to me to read and then gave it to another friend. We have a traveling book! Its great! I recommend it to anyone who likes to read!
Rating:  Summary: A Must Read!!! Review: I saw this book up at a library book sale for 25 cents and I had to get it! I took it home and started reading it at once. If I'd had it my way I would've finished it that night. it is the sweet story of 4 friends who are going their seperate directions for the summer. it just happens to be the first summer they've spent away from each other. it also is the summer they rediscover themselves. Lena, Tibby, Carmen and Bridgit have vowed to keep in touch via the "Traveling Pants" that will circulate through the 4 friends throughout the summer. this is a sweet book about friendship and how the girls come to better understand themselves, and how they value their friends. I would recommend this to anyone, I know I've already offered to loan my copy to my buds!!!
Rating:  Summary: WOW Review: This book is awesome. It is written really well. If you like books that deal with friends, I would reccomend this book to you.
Rating:  Summary: AN IMAGINATIVELY TOLD STORY SUPERBLY READ Review: With her debut novel, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," author Ann Brashares said that she hoped that teens would find it "to be the kind of book that sticks with them a bit, the way books I liked when I was that age stuck with me." All bets are that teens will find this warm story of friendship, loyalty, and love to be that and more. Angela Goethals, who has appeared in numerous films from "Home Alone" to "Jerry Maguire" perfectly voices the joys and sorrows of four young girls who have been friends for all of their lives. Tibby, Carmen, Lena and Bridget didn't spring from the same molds, still they're best friends. Finally, the time comes when they'll be spending their first summer apart, each going in different directions from overseas to a soccer camp to a summer with Dad. The common thread between the girls this summer is a pair of denim threads, blue jeans, that is. Now, these aren't just an ordinary pair of jeans - these pants are imbued with a bit of magic and they fit each girl perfectly. The girls decide that the jeans should be shared, and sent back and forth from girl to girl during the summer. That's a lot of traveling for pants, but the summer is also a lot of growing up for the girls as they face decisions, challenges, problems and experiences. But, what is paramount is the friendship between them as symbolized by the wonderful pants. This is a "feel good" story about friendship, about unconditional loyalty and love imaginatively told and superbly read. - Gail Cooke
