Rating:  Summary: Captivating! More than 5 stars!! Review: Summer sisters was given to me by a friend. I was going on a road trip to Kentucky and needed something to do. I read it in 5 hours with few breaks. It was incredible! I couldn't put it down. We went out to dinner and I took it with me. I strained my eyes in the dark just to read the last few pages. Vix and Kateline became part of me and this book will stay with me forever! I highly recommend reading this and suggesting it to friends. It was the best book I have EVER read!
Rating:  Summary: I Loved this Book ! Review: This book was great ! I enjoyed learing about the characters in the begining of the novel and sort of what you could say " growing up " w/ them. As you read more you begin to learn about each charater and how there friendship changed threw life. After learning everything about the characters the end was very dramatic and sad. It makes you shed a tear.I loved the book and I encourage anyone to read it.
Rating:  Summary: Make it a movie!!! Review: Summer Sisters was a great book. As Vix grew older the story got better!! The irony of the story got confusing at certain places, but in the end it works out. I loved how the different characters had a page or so of there thoughts. It makes you want to say He soo loves you or just listen to her you'll regret it! Ms. Blume four words " Summer Sisters totally rocks!!!!"
Rating:  Summary: I couldn't put this book down!! Review: This is the first time I've read a Judy Bloome book. I am hooked! Its easy to read and understand. Its just the kind of book you'd like to read when you want to relax and be entertained.
Rating:  Summary: Entertaining summer fluff Review: I'd actually give it 2 1/2 stars, but Amazon doesn't have an option for half stars, so two it is. It took me about 5 hours to read this book, it is definitely not challenging, but the main characters are engaging. I think one of the greatest appeals of this novel, for me, was the fact that it took place in the years of my own childhood, with characters that were just a few months older than I. If you are looking for an entertaining but simple read for your vacation, this is the book to get.
Rating:  Summary: Her best work yet!! Review: I read this book in one sitting, and I absolutley loved it. It represented what young women with everything and nothing at the same time go through. It was a marvelous ride back into my childhood. I recommend it for everyone. In any age group. Enjoy!
Rating:  Summary: A typical summer read, not too much effort required. Review: My fourteen year old daughter read it first and was thrilled. While she was truly drawn into the characters, I found I was exhausted by them. Thank goodness I don't have to live their lives. The characters of Caitlin and Vix were flat,the male characters short changed, the storyline pure summer plot with little thought provoking images. The best part of the book was discussing it with my daughter so we could point out the good, bad and ugly!
Rating:  Summary: It was worth the sun burn i got trying to finish it! Review: i brought "Summer Sisters" to the Jersey shore with me on vacation.....and it was worth the sun burn i got while trying to finish it before leaving the beach. The characters were fresh and story was entralling. I grew up almost during the same time period that the book took place, so I identified with the events of the time. I also found it very interesting that it took place on the Vineyard since the tragic Kennedy disaster brought it into the news so recently. It made the book more realistic. I can only hope there is a sequel. Thanks Judy! A devoted reader, Dena.
Rating:  Summary: Fantastic, moving Review: Judy Blume has been in my life since I was a child... From "Tales of a fourth grade nothing" to "Forever". She has been through my life with me and seems to almost always mimic it in her books. This book was great, I couldn't put it down. I loved it!
Rating:  Summary: A great story of youth and summer friendships. Review: This was the first time I'd read Judy Blume since I was a child (Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret). I really enjoyed the book and flew through it on vacation, then gave it to my best friend (we met as girls on the beach 30 years ago) to take on her vacation. The characters and their experiences reminded me so much of my youth. It was a fun step back in time. After I finished, I thought a lot about the characters and their relationship.
