Summary: Ever read 'Mademoiselle" magazine?
Review: Trite and bland, but it tries so hard to be hip. You can't help but despise all the characters. Vix is a doormat, Caitlin is selfish and vicious, her dad smoked too much pot and his brain is mush, Tawny is an iceberg, her husband is a pushover (wonder where Vix learned her ways)... I mean, what a collection of inadequate people. The author does not make anyone endearing. Just a waste of time.

Summary: I felt disappointed in Judy Blume
Review: Traffic in Fairfax County, Virginia, is so terrible, that I began to take the bus to work. Having had my fill of technical literature that I print from the Internet, I decided to purchase a "bus book". I had read Judy Blume's elementary school tales and enjoyed them. While I finished "Summer Sisters" in two days, I can't believe I actually read it. I'd have to place the book near Harold Robbins' works or "Mandigo". I may as well help my twelve-year-old work on dichotomous keys for his science class. I'd really rate the book a black dot and ask for my time back.

Summary: Judy Blume should stick to writing children's books
Review: I've enjoyed some of JB's books for children and teenagers, but really she should stick to that market. I found 'Summer Sisters' fairly entertaining at the beginning but quickly began to loose interest as the book progressed from the characters' childhood to young adulthood and the characters failed to develop with it. The male characters in particular are shallow and exist only to provide a love interest for Vix/Caitlin. One of the strengths of JB's writing for children is the simplicity of her style but sadly translated to an adult novel this simply doesn't work.

Summary: Not boring, but too unrealistic and over the top
Review: I bought this book hoping for a light escape from the difficult reading for my English class. I succeeded. This book is interesting and keeps you reading, but it really does not have much substance. The two girls' friendship is very unrealistic, and their lives just seem too perfect. I mean come on, Caitlin doesn't study at all in school and she gets into Wellesley anyways? Vix gets into Harvard writing an essay on how great a friend Caitlin is? Vix lets Caitlin use and abuse her and comes back for more every summer? It's annoying reading about how two such imperfect people can have such perfect lives without hardly working at it. But all in all I would recommend this book if you want something to pass the time with. Don't expect anything great, though - it's definitely not in here.

Summary: Sad that it had to end!
Review: This book was great, definitely one of the best I've read. It kept me laughing out loud, crying, and upset. This is a fun book that doesn't require much thought to read, and should be read by all best friends. The only thing I would have changed about this book is the fact that it ended. I couldn't wait to turn the page until the end, where I read slowly in an attempt to read it as long as possible! I loved it!

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I was not aware that Judy Blume wrote anything but childrens books! This book was wonderful, a tale of young friendship. Hated to finish it!

Summary: I think this book is just great.
Review: I loved this book. It only took me four days to read it. Not because it's easy, it was so intresting that I acually felt that I knew Caitlin and Vix personally.I've read many books, but I think that this one was the best.

Summary: Capturing the complexities of female friendships.
Review: This book is fabulous! From the adolescent years to adulthood, Blume reminds us of the complexities of female friendships...the love, the hate, the envy, and the never-ending compassion. Read it...then give it to your best friend. "Summer Sisters" will remind you that female friendships can be as compilcated as any male-female friendship.
