Summer Sisters

Summary: The Best of Blume
Review: I am currently reading Summer Sisters as I write this. I cannot put it down, I find myself drawn to it, in a manner that I currently see in my friendship with my "summer sister", I find that the book is moving and probably will become one of my second readers, meaning I could easily read it over and over.

Summary: That same old magic
Review: I have been reading Judy Blume's books since elementary school and she continues to make me laugh and cry. I thought "Summer Sisters" was a great book--it moved quickly, while capturing the bittersweetness of best-friendship, the electricity of first loves, and the rollercoaster ride that is family life. It may be her first book in 4 years, but she still manages to sweep you away.

Summary: Emotional Rollercoaster!!!
Review: Summer Sisters was an amazing book! I had trouble putting it down! The book was a little wierd at times especially when the subject of "the power" was brought up. Minus the parts about "the power" that the girls shared between them I thought this book related well to girls because most of us girls have a close friend that we spend lots of time with and whom we never get sick of. I read this book during the summer and I really felt like I was a part of Vix and Caitlin's summers, their memories and the fun times they shared reminded me of times well spent during my past summers. Judy Blume captures the lives of these two teenagers at an awkward stage in their lives yet she displays their characters beautifully in a way that she makes them feel real to the reader. Everyone I believe goes through a stage in their lives where they want to be someone else, Vix has always been fond of Caitlin and she loves her summers on the Vinyard because she gets to live in the world that Caitlin lives in everyday, Vix is able to escape her everyday pressures by sliping into Caitlin's care free world. This novel makes the reader feel a little of evey emotion, from laughter and crying to jealousy and anger, I find that the emotions a reader feels while reading a novel is what makes a book so enjoyable.

Summary: Good chick book
Review: Normally I go for Clancy, Vince Flynn and Nelson DeMille but this is a good, light summer read. Guys shouldn't bother - this is definitely a chick book - but the ladies will enjoy it. I got annoyed by the ending - it was pretty abrupt and you never find out what happened to Caitlin. However, the Somers' were a good portrayal of a rich, eccentric family and Vix's family was dead-on realistic. And sometimes extraordinary girls like Vix do fall for shallow boys like Bru.

Summary: don't bother
Review: This book was lousy, the characters were not believable and so much of the story was trite, or cliches. It was recommended somewhere and I thought it would get better but never did.

Summary: Summer Sisters....
Review: This book was great from page one until the end. I was hooked. It is about a friendship and when you learn more about Catlin the more you ask yourself why is she and Vix are even friends. Their friendship is full of adventure, heartbreak, love and the family situtation is just created by amazing writing. I don't want to say much about this book because it is best to read it yourself. I will say that Judy Blume's book is brilliant!

Summary: Good but disappointing...
Review: I liked the book for the most part but was disappointed that Judy Bloom never let any of the other characters confront Caitlan about her reckless behavior. She was wild and irresponsible, spoiled and bratty from childhood to adulthood. She walked all over everyone that loved her and no one called her on it. She was so self distructive and no one seemed to notice or care. I kept waiting for someone to put her in her place or to reach out and help her and it never happened.

Summary: A very good book
Review: I absolutely loved Summer Sisters. Judy Blume did an excellent job on this book. It is by far the best book I've ever read in my life. I opened up the first page and didn't put it down until I was finished with the last page. You just want to keep reading and reading until there is no more. Its exciting, drama filled, emotion filled book and I recommend this book heavily.
