Summary: EXCELLENT BOOK
Review: This book was one of the best books i have read in a really long time. It had love, romance, death, and divorce all in one book. I rad this book in 2 days and my only dissapointment was that i wish i hadn't read it so fast becuase once i got to the end i almost started to read it once again. I highly recommeded this book to young teen readers and i hope that u enjoy it as much as i enjoyed it

Summary: Fun Summer Reading Fun
Review: this is a great book. I read it this summer because it seemed like none of my friends had time for me anymore. I decided to read what I thought would be a book that would remind me of my best friend, and somehow make me feel slightly better. Well, it did. I would definately suggest this book to any one who feels they need a companion who won't leave them; or who is just up for an emotional rollercoaster. At the risk of using something overused, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you won't be able to put it down!

Summary: A Quick, Fun Summer Read
Review: While likely written for teenage girls, this 46 year old man enjoyed the story very much. The 'traveling pants' serve as the common bond for a group of close girl friends as they go their separate ways during the summer. This is a book about friendship. It is also a book about coming of age. It is very enjoyable to read in one sitting on a nice summer's day.

Summary: Great book to read during the summer!
Review: I read this book in 2 days. I could not put it down! If you have read any other reviews, you probably know what it's about. Four of the best friends and a pair of extraordinary pants that somehow fit each and every one of them so perfectly. The girls have never spent a summer together and the book is about that summer. The girls learn a lot about themselves and you get to learn right along with them. This is a great book to read if you just don't have anything to do..or even if you do and feel like reading a great book! Ann Brashares did an excellent job on this book! It will be a classic someday!

Summary: it is hard to finish
Review: the only reason to read the first half is to find out if there is anything in the book besides girls with boys. along with many disappointing teenage stories, all the girls have to fall "in love" or something like it. a few parts are interesting, but for a non-romance novel lover, it was boring.

Summary: The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
Review: While overall, I thought this book was fine and possibly engaging for young women, I strongly think the 12 year old age guideline is too young, both for some of the contents of the plot and for the deeper and more meaningful aspects of what a girl could discover from the book. In other words, I thought the chararacters were interesting to an older teen aged girl, but 12 year olds are not teenagers. In fact, these characters are 15 and almost 16, all about to be juniors in high school. And those ages, I think, as a mother, are the appropriate ages for a girl to be reading this book. Not only is there mature sexual content and encounter (albeit, which one of the characters cannot handle), the characters themselves, and their metamorphises, what they go through that summer, what they learn about themselves, will be much more understandable and appropriate to a 14 or 15 or 16 year old, then to an impressionable 12 or 13 year old. I would liken it to reading Jane Eyre, or Little Women, before a girl is old enough to understand the levels, the deep meaning, the beauty of these books. Sure, girls of 11 and 12 are capable of reading these books, but it is the parents' jobs to say "not yet". I also am disturbed that none of the other reviewers that I read on line seem to understand that one of the characters is self-destructively manic depressive and that would be something ( in fact I would urge any mother who lets her daughter read this book) to discuss the behaviors with her daughter.

Summary: Five Stars, Five Smiles, Five Tears
Review: This book is so beautifully written in a way, it is breathtaking. If there could be six stars, this book would get it. In "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" truth about life, friendship, loss and love is written in a magical way. There are four very different girls, with very different builds that all fit into the same pair of pants. When they split up for the summer, they rotate the magical jeans weekly to each girl. They record there adventures and experiences on the pants and in letters to there Sisterhood.
Tibby is the rebel of the group, born from her young parents and is now being ignored by her now, not-so-young and responsible parents. She befriends and insightful twelve-year old girl, sick with leukemina, who teaches Tibby about the joys of life.
Carmen is the pessimest, but lovable, girl of the group. She is supposedly spending the summer with her father that she rarely sees, until a little "suprise" occurs and Carmen's perfect summer(except for the fact she is without her friends) goes out of control.
Lena is a beautiful Greek girl, who feels that her attention for her beauty is a pure curse. She is spending her summer in Greese with her Grandparents where a boy falls for her. It is through this summer that Lena learns how love feels and meets her "soulmate", the only person like her in her affectionate,passionate, big-nosed family.
Bridget(she has my favorite summer adventures) is a passionate athelete. She goes to a soccer camp in Mexico where she falls head over heels for an older counceler in her camp. Her passion and determination covers up a deeper pain hidden inside of her heart. Bridget is the most complex character in the book, in my belief.
Each young women learns a valuable lesson during the summer, and the pants symbolize how friendship and love can fit on any person, now matter how different each girl is. I would reccomend this book for any girl thirteen and up, because there is some language and sexual refrences. But this story is pure magic and a rereader. It will show how valuable friendship, trust and determination is.
