Summary: Is Blume writing for adults or teenagers?
Review: I use to read her books when I was in highschool. They were good becuase she knows how to relate to young adults. But, this new adult book called "Summer Sisters", was a big disappointment. As I was reading, I kept waiting when will the characters grow-up? Have I bought a book for young adults? Get real! I personally think that she should stick to just writing teenager books because this new book is really intimidating for adults. Yes, Blume may have enchanted teenagers with her writing style but we, adults are not teeny-boppers intriged by words such as "the power". Give me a brake! Well, I am happy that she can gear her writing towards the teens but for adults, maybe she needs to grow up a bit and be more of an adult before she puts out her next "ADULT BOOK"

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Lightweight
Review: The book was not terrible but I did not really get much out of it. I guess it is good summer reading but I did not find it particularly intriguing.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Little substance, lotsa sex
Review: I bought this book after Newsday, L.I. Newspaper listed it on a "great summer reads" list. Accepting that 100 different people enjoy a book for 100 different reasons, I'm one that appreciates depth and sentiment rather than sexual scenes between underage teenage girls.

I doubt if this book ever put Blume on the next century's best authors list, nor will it be considered a classic. I'm sure it will have an audience for those who prefer an occassional cheap thrill from a book and impressionable young teens curious about sex.

Summer Sisters begins with two girls rubbing their privates together until climax, amid a ramshackled flop of a house, on an island where their pillows are mouldy, and Caitlin's private parts smelly because she never showers. If that appeals to you, then read the book for it never moves the reader very far from that same level of integrity in every other scene or scenario.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best summer reading
Review: I read this book in one sitting, most people I know that have read this book did the same. I hadn't read a book by Judy Blume since I was 12. This book is realistic and is good for all ages. I am only 17 and I could really relate to this book. Everyone should read it you will laugh and cry with theses realistic, and eccentric charecters.Especially if you are going on vacation and need something to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For you and your best friend
Review: After I read Summer Sisters, I found myself missing my best friend more than ever and reminiscing about our childhood days. It was a real page-turner -- an easy read yet the plot moves along fairly quickly and keeps you intrigued. Judy Blume is an amazing writer who creates real characters with whom readers can identify.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This book was great! I loved it! I read it while I was on vacation. Blume is a great author. I have read all of hear children/Teen books when I was younger and loved them. This book is of the same quality, if not better, for adult readers. I hope she writes more for adults!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic!
Review: This is the first adult Judy Blume book that I ever read. I loved it! I can't wait to read her other ones. Summer sisters is a story about two friends growing up together from about 10 to their thirties. It takes you through everything that a woman feels at that age and the experiences are so real to life with first loves and wondering about the future. I couldn't put it down.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Summer Sisters
Review: Summer Sisters is a coming of age story appropriate for more mature young adult readers. The dialogue is realistic and easy to read. The characters are rich and well developed and easy to relate to. The story is about the teenage friendship between two girls, one rich and one poor that spans from sixth grade to marriage and family . It not only addressed the good times of friendship but also the heartbreak that goes along with it. It was a book, I didn't want to put down!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Treasure To Read.
Review: I just finish reading the book, and it was enchanting. It has you wondering to very end it makes you feel like somewhere in your life that you have the met the situation with someone who you knew or maybe it happen to you.

Summer sisters is about two best friends who are childhood friends. One who has everything and takes it for granted and one who which she had everything doesn't take everything for garnted. When Victoria is suprise and eleated that Caitlin wants to be her friend.

Victoria and Caitlin go through a lot. Vix wants more out of her life, and when she gets that chance to go to a Ivy League school she takes it. Caitlin on the other hand goes exploring around the whole, and ends becoming someone she knows that she already destined to be.

But Caitlin is keeping from Vix the one thing that puts their friendship to the test. Caitlin and Vix well always be summer sisters.
