Summer Sisters

Rating:
Summary: trash for who? and not well written trash either!
Review: Who is this poor writing, character development, plot, written for?! After reading SUMMER SISTERS I (was dumb enough to) read SMART WOMEN and the same questions apply. These are not soap opera, not even good trash reading. They are a waste of natural resources and time.I will go back and read her children's books becasue I wonder what is wrong with HER or US.

Summary: WONDERFUL ENTERTAINING BOOK
Review: i really enjoyed this book. I recommend it for teen and adult women/girls. a coming of age book.

Rating:
Summary: Loved it, but typical Blume work
Review: I would have given it 5 but if you've read her other two adult novels, you won't be surprised with the book at all. Couldn't put it down though. Had enough suspense to keep me interested. And just when you're feeling disappointed in the turn of events, things work out better than expected. It would make a good "easy read" book for lazy days.

Rating:
Summary: Pure pulp
Review: I had heard the hype about this book and knew Judy Blume as a good kids author, and so I picked up a copy. It is pure pulp; a preposterous story, and one that I could guess what was around each corner. Still, I found it hard to put down and found myself crying near the end. So, although it had little in the way of redeeming value, I did enjoy it.

Summary: Incredibly amazing
Review: This book was brillantly written. The characters kept me guessing. I was glued to the book - sneaking away just to read a few more pages.

Summary: Great book! - If your brain needs a vacation!
Review: I grew up reading books by Judy Blume so I just felt compelled to read this book! Summer Sisters is the kind of book when you are too stressed and you need some time out. All you have to do is read, you don't even need to think... A very easy read, sometimes slow, but worth reading atleast once- if you're a Judy Blume fan as I used to be.

Summary: A consuming, fascinating piece of work.
Review: Wow, where can I start? This book eats up your brain, forcing you to turn page after page, reading more and more about these two dysfunctional girls-turned-women. You will try to identify with the ever strange Vix, try to understand the stupidity of Caitlin's actions, wonder at the reprecussions that first summer in Martha's Vineyard had on Vix's life, and remember the Caitlin and Vix in your schools. Too much sex, not enough analyzing, but on the whole a powerful book.

Summary: Fun, no-brainer...good beach book
Review: Although I gerally perfer to read books with more substance, I still enjoyed this one. It was an easy read and kept me turning the pages. I enjoyed the trials and tribulations of Vix and Caitlin as they grew into womanhood. The book also brought back a lot of memories of my own teenage years. Don't knock this book...sometimes you just want to read a "light" book. This one fills that request. Blume has a gift that enables the reader to fully understand her characters. Loved Vix...and at times wanted to strangle Caitlin. Good job, Judy...You were just the thing I needed to take me away.

Summary: This is the best book I've ever read...it's a must.
Review: This is an excellent book that really got to me. Judy Blume has a way of creating charectars that are so easy to understand and seem like you've known them your entire life. The end of the story is extreamly shocking and I cry and cry every thime I think about it. It is my favorite book and I hope every one reads it.

Summary: It was good and bad
Review: i liked this book because you never really get bored. I never wanted to put it down. But when I was finally finished I wanted more. I just didn't see the purpose in it. Being 12 myself I couldn't relate to these girls who are around my age for the beginning of the book. Like I said before I just couldn't find a purpose
