Summary: The most interesting aspect of the book is the title.
Review: Four close friends, a magical pair of jeans, and The Summer That Would Change Their Lives Forever. Brashares sets up the characters and story well, but once the Prologue is over, all she delivers is cliche after cliche. The situations are formulaic and predictable, the writing style takes itself far, far too seriously, and the characters are uniformally one-dimensional. And the Pants seem to make no difference whatsoever. If you want entertaining writing and believable characters, I'd suggest Louise Rennison's "Confessions of Georgia Nicholson" series. "Traveling Pants" just spends all its energy wishing it were a Hallmark Hall-of-Fame Special of the cheesiest, most angst-ridden sort.

Summary: read it with your best friends
Review: This was such a wonderful book! Read it with your best friends, read it with your sisters...read it with any girl you know! The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants starts out as Carmen Carmeena buys the Traveling Pants in a thrift shop. It weaves together the story of four best friends - beautiful Lena in Greece, who's tired of boys falling in love with her looks and then ignoring her when she won't go out with them, athletic Bridget in Baja, who's a star soccer player and so outgoing that she falls in love with a soccer coach and gets in waay over her head, rebel Tibby in DC who has a pierced nose and works at Wallman's, then meets a girl with leukemia who changes the way she looks at the world, and Carmen, who just wants to spend a perfect summer with her father, but finds out that he has a not-so-perfect surprise for her - and where they go.
overall, a wonderful book

Summary: a great book about sisters apart
Review: This was meant for younger readers but I loved it anyway. Tibby, Carmen, Bridget and Lena have been friends literally from birth --- their moms were all in a pregnant woman's aerobics class and they were the "Septembers", so all the girls have a birthday in the same month. The summer they are 15, they will all be apart --- -Carmen will be in South Carolina visiting her dad, Bridget will be in Baja California, Mexico at a soccer camp, Lena will be in Greece visiting her grandparents, and Tibby will be left behind in Bethesda, Maryland (right outside Washington, DC) to be a wage slave at Wallman's (which looked suspiciously like [a local store], from the description.) The Pants in question are some thrift-store jeans Carmen bought for [$$$]in Georgetown, and makes thm all look good. They will mail the pants to each other throughout the summer and they all have to have an adventure in them. Oddly enough, it was Tibby's story that I liked the most (maybe because I used to work in a discount store too and I felt kinship as the memories came unrepressed.) With her best friends in exotic locales, she makes an unlikely new friend who opens her eyes to what's going on right in front of her as they make a documentary about their ... town. The others dabble in all the typical teenaged issues --- broken home, stepsiblings, first love, etc etc. But Tibby is the one who stood out because she learned about herself without the context of either guy or parental issues, grappling with something that made everyone else's problems seem so high school (of course, that's what they were -- high school students!) In the end, the girls prove it's friendship and love that matter. What a great book!

Summary: OK : )
Review: The begining was very *complicated*. If u stopped reading this book because of the begining, you should have continued. It becomes more clear after 2 chapters. The book's cover and title is VERY CHEEZY, and makes it seem like a book 4 5 year olds. BUT never judge a book by its cover!! The plot is about four girls - Carmen, Libby, Bridgete, and Lena. Carmen buys a *magical* pair of pants at a thrift store and they all try it on. IT FITS ALL OF THEM, EVEN BIG-BUTTED CARMEN!LOL Anyway, they all go to different places for vacation and they all want to take the pants along. They make up a set of *cheesy* rules and decided how's going to get them and when. **TIP: Lenas and Bridgetes adventures are the best ones** Reccomendation: If you like Harry Potter type magic *cough, cough, LOL, cough, choke* DON'T read this book and get special help. Don't read this if u r over 15 ;)

I gave it five stars cause it deserved it!

Summary: Realistic
Review: I found this to be a good book, but at the same time, I found it to have weak points. It really is a miracle that these pants fit four girls of different sizes. It's also incredible how a pair of pants can travel to Greece in a matter of days from half way around the world. Ever tried it? It does take some time. I did find that it seemed like one of the girls seemed a less mature then the others. But at the same time, I found that there was something that kept me reading...something that's hard to describe. I tried to put it down for somethign else, but I kept wondering about the book, so I had to finish. Read it if you have time on your hands.

Summary: The search for the perfect jeans stops here!
Review: Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far, away, I found the perfect pair of jeans. And then they ripped. Now, I mourned my jeans for quite awhile, but that was years ago. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants has brought me right back to those jeans and how much I loved them. Ann Brashares writes a lovely book about the friendship between four girls. These girls, Carmen (the one who originally bought the pants), Lena, Bridget, and Tibby, decide to keep in touch not just with letters, but also to mail these blue jeans to one another over their summer vacation. They have decided that the blue jeans are "magical", since they fit every girl perfectly, despite different body shapes. The jeans accompany each girl as she goes through some life-changing experiences. Carmen spends her summer in the jeans in South Carolina, Tibby at home working, Bridget at a summer camp, and Lena in Greece. The concept may sound a bit childish, possibly even "corny", if that word is still used. But The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants applies to any teenage girl, and brings the adult reader back to a time when it seemed entirely possible to believe in magical pants. Now I wish I could just find a pair!

Summary: One of the Dumbest Books Ever!
Review: This is really the cheesiest book I have ever read. Why would anybody make up rules that you have to follow while you are wearing the sacred pants? Don't we get enough of these already?! And also - you make your future, not what you wear. Don't read this book! It's wasting your time!

Summary: This book will blow you away!
Review: Now I'm a huge reader like most of the reveiwers on Amazon, but this book is undobtedly my favorite book I've ever read, and I'm definatly going to read the second book. It is well written and not to confusing. Although there aren't clear transitions inbetween seens, it is organized. One of the things that struck me is the origanality of the book, there is no other book about magical pants that I've heard of. You've really got to read this book else you will be sadly dissapointed. Caution: This IS a girl book, so don't buy it for your nephew.
