Summary: Review for Snail Mail No More
Review: Best friends Elizabeth and Tara*Starr have just moved far apart from each other. Tara*Starr accessorizes and loves to be in the spotlight. Elizabeth loves writing poetry and reading, and hates being noticed. After both of them receive the ability to e-mail, staying in touch is easier than ever! Both girls' lives are changing and not being able to be with each other doesn't help. Tara's mother has a baby and Elizabeth's father walks out on her family.
This book has an unforgettable tale that is hard to forget. The story really puts friendship to the test. It's very interesting to see how jealousy, dating, personal problems, siblings, and death can get in the way of friendship. It is also very fascinating to see how all these problems are resolved and how you can apply them to everyday life. I really enjoyed this story and I would recommend it to anyone who asked.

Summary: Differences
Review: Snail Mail no More is about two young teens, Tara Starr Lane and Elizabeth who are separated when one of them moves to Ohio. They were the best of friends and it was terribly sad for the both of them. In Danziger's first book in this series, P.S Longer Letter Later, the two friends must keep contact with each other by using snail mail(regular mail). But in this book their families purchase computers so they can keep contact in e-mails! Tara Starr Lane is incredibly outgoing and energetic, and loves sparkly clothes and jewels and Elizabeth likes to keep to herself and pays no attention to clothes. They are so totally different, but somehow they manage to remain friends. Read a book full of funny e'mails sad e's and regular e's. I think you'll enjoy this book!

Review: I read both books,P.S. Longer Letter Later and Snail Mail No More.I loved them both.

Snail Mail No More is a great book that shows the true meaning of friendship.The characters are also really great.Tara*Starr and Elizabeth,two totally different teens,but the best friends.Danziger and Martin really got in to thier characters, making it seem as if they were real.They both are normal,everyday teens,yet there are always twists in thier lives,small and big,good and bad which make you never want to put the book down.This book is truley great.It is written well,and the idea is very good.it is very detailed,yet the letters still seem real.This book really shows the true meaning of friendship,and every time I read it,it makes me want to get on the computer and write e-mails to all my friends.I really think every girl should have a copy of Snail Mail No More.

Summary: like a two-person diary
Review: People have probably said this before, but it bears repeating: this is an absolutly fabulous book. It's like writing in a diary, and having the diary write back to you. READ IT!!!!! Just read P.S. Longer Letter Later first because Elizabeth and Tara*Starr make lots of references to things that happened in that book, and Snail Mail No More wouldn't make any sense if you havn't read P.S. Longer Letter First

Summary: Astonishing
Review: I have read this book 3 times and I can never get enough of it. It is a great book for all people of all ages that tells just some of the trials and tribulations that can confront teenagers. Its not a great book if you are looking for a challenging read but it is REALISTIC fiction.

Summary: Uninspired and Out of Touch
Review: I am still not sure why I even finished this book. I have never read a book that has had to try so hard to be smart, and yet fail so miserably. Obviously, the authors weren't quite settled on how smart the protagonists should actually be, simultaneously trying to make us believe that these 13-year-old protagonists would casually use phrases like "sartorial playground," make literary references, read Langston Hughes, edit poetry newsletters and start book clubs (in their free time), then fall all over themselves trying to justify why they would know about The Betty Ford clinic or Al-Anon, explaining, "I saw it on TV."

Unfortunately, in between heavy-handed public service announcements about taking your pet to the vet and wearing sunscreen was a very weak plot that I am sure I recognize from somewhere. I suspect recycled Danziger, above and beyond this being a sequel. Danziger and Martin even resurrect the tired motif of students taking care of egg babies - complete with all the totally EGG-spected puns. Don't let the email format fool you. This book is utterly out of touch - technologically new millennium, but ideologically early 80s.

If you don't want to be lectured to and you want to read something truly enjoyable and smart, pick up a copy of The Westing Game, Walk Two Moons, Flipped, Tangerine, or Crusader.

Summary: A pretty darn good book!
Review: This book, Snail Mail No More, is the sequel to P.S. Longer Letter Later. Both are awesome books written in the form of letters from two teenage girls.
Tara* and Elizabeth were best friends until Tara* moved.
Both of these books deal with the same issues, although there are more exciting events in Snail Mail No More (my personal opinion). The main points are: friendship, jealousy, boyfriends, and Elizabeth's alcoholic father.
I like this book because I could find not a single cliche sentence in it. Elizabeth's and Tara*'s lives never go exactly right, but they are never completely unlucky, like some authors make their characters (hmm hmm, Lemony Snicket). They do not in any sense have perfect lives.
Elizabeth, her mother, and her sister live in an apartment. Her parents are not divorced, but they do not live together. Elizabeth doesn't even know where her father lives period. He turns up at odd moments with gifts for Emma, Elizabeth's sister. He calls to say he'll come a certain day and never does. Or he just shows up on their doorstep.
Tara* is an unhappy older sister. Her sister is born in this book. In her letters, Tara either refers to it as IT or Demon Seed. She has no desire to become an older sister.
Both their lives change when Tara's sister is born and something much more than unexpected happens to Elizabeth's father. Want to know what? (I promise, it's an unprecedented ending). Read the book (after you read P.S. Longer Letter Later)!

Summary: So bad, it's inspirational
Review: This book was so unbelievably bad, it inspired me to write my own novel, that is the complete antithesis of this "Snail Mail No More"...
