Summer Sisters

Summary: I must be an alien from an unknown galaxy.
Review: I am totally out of synch with the readers of this planet. After reading 10 pages (or less), I had to force myself to finish this book. My thoughts were that there has got to be SOMETHING redeeming in this story, so I labored to the end hoping to find a clue. As I thankfully closed the cover on that one, I asked myself, "How in the world did this ever get published??" Then I realized, Judy Blume is a well-known author of literature for adolescents and this is exactly the type of book a young girl would relate to, except for that power-thing which seemed to be thrown in for pure titilation. My recommendation, spend the money on a different paperback...or on a lottery ticket.

Summary: You're hooked after the first page...
Review: Even though we are all only 15, 3 of my friends read this book and felling in love with it. Finally, my friend handed me the book and said "Read this...now!" I did, and I finished it in 2 days. I absolutely could not put it down. You really WANT to know what happens to Vix and Caitlin, along with everyone else. The characters and the emotions seem so real, and the plot was absolutely fantastic! So, to quote a friend: "Read this...now!"

Summary: Powerful
Review: After reading this book I discovered that I myself have a summer sister. I could easily relate to the book and at the end of each chapter I couldn't wait to start the next one. I was upset when the book ended it was so good. I hope that there is a sequel where Caitlin and Vix pick up where they left off.

Summary: Yuk! Retch! Whew!
Review: Blume should stick to adolescent-driven teen texts and leave soap opera where it belongs--daytime TV--and out of sight. Curiosity drove me to read it to the end where it really fell out of the realm of the even vaguely plausible. You'd have to be slathered in suntan oil and doped by the sun on a lonely beach (absolutely no distractions) to get much out of this one. Sorry, Judy, but foul mouthed cuties and single minded hunks just don't do it for me.

Rating:
Summary: GRAPHIC. very graphic
Review: After years of writing children's books, Judy Blume has released all that sexual tension into one book. The book is a fairly quick read, but there are more than a few sections that leave you wondering, did I really need to know that?

Rating:
Summary: The book would be okay for a teenager.
Review: This is not an adult book. It is something a teenager or young adult may enjoy. I would have preferred a little more "substance" rather than just mindless "jabber."

Rating:
Summary: disapointing . . .
Review: This book seems very two dimensional, compared to her works for young adults. Her characters are rather flat, and difficult to get involved with. It is entertaining enough, but the denouement is visible from miles away.

Summary: All grown up...and still enjoying Judy Blume
Review: How many of us read "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret?" a dozen times??? Well I did. To me it always seemed like the grown up novel for the teenagers...kinda daring yet still teen enough. Since I was 13 I hadn't read a Judy Blume novel. Ten years later I read Summer Sisters. In a way it brought me back to my summer vacation reads. I loved the characters, the story, the vacation! I have loaned my copy to other friends or "summer sisters" to enjoy the Judy Blume humor and familiarity that we we had 10-15 years ago. Thanks for another great summer escape, Judy!

Summary: The best summer read I have ever seen...
Review: My roommate first read this book and then referred it to me. It was the greatest book I have read in a long time. I literally read it all day and night and was addicted. It is a book you won't want to put down and you'll be sad when your finished because there is no more to read... Also I felt right at home with the primary settings being Boston and the Vineyard.
