Summer Sisters

Summary: Summers and friends to remember!
Review: When I first began to love reading, Judy Blume was there. With Are You There God?.. It's Me Margaret, Otherwise Known As Sheila The Great, Tales Of A Fourth Grade Nothing, and others. Now, as an adult, she is still creating stories and characters that grab me! This book was wonderful. My heart went out to Vix, as I could identify with some of the stuggles she encounted with Caitlin. And in the end, I cried. I felt as tho I was 'IN' the story. Being carried along as a silent observer to their very different friendship. Whether or not you read Judy Blume as a child, you'll love her as an adult! At the very least you'll L-O-V-E this book!

Summary: A page-turner filled with fun characters
Review: Let me put it this way--I finished the book in two days. Very readable, very interesting, quite a page-turner.

I loved Blume's "Fudge" books when I was younger and wanted to read this book from the moment I saw it. I wasn't disappointed.

Blume gives us a good story and fun characters to jump around the chapters with. Although I didn't become attached to any certain one, I find myself thinking about them now that I'm done with the novel. And Blume's ability to switch personas nearly every other page (the story follows Vix, but Blume gives us insight into different characters' minds as well) is well honed.

It will keep you going till the end.

Summary: A joy to read; the characters are so real!
Review: I couldn't put the book down and yet, with a 100 pages to go I read it slowly to savor every moment. It's like an evening out that you don't want to end because it is so good. These characters are people I know with emotions I have felt and with all the sadness in the world this is one great way to escape, fantasize, relive, recapture, revisit one's youth. It is the story of coming of age with all the accompanying emotions and insecurities and the directions one takes and the choices one makes vs. someone else. It unfolds wonderfully and the characters develop so true to life...from the main characters to the supporting characters. Hane't we all known families like these? I have to wonder where I would be today if I had had Abby and Lamb in my life. Bravo, Judy Blume.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read.
Review: I'm not sure if I would have picked up a Judy Blume book, ordinarily, I thought she was strictly a writer for younger girls. I'm so glad I did order the book. It was wonderful! I laughed and cried, and remembered good and not so good things from my own summer sisters.

Summary: The most touching book I've ever read
Review: I just finished it and I just want to say that I've never been so moved by a book. The characters seemed so true-to-life and I related to so much of what they went through, as I'm sure most of us would. This is one of the best books I have ever read. It will make you laugh and make you cry, and more importantly, it will make you think. Great work, Ms. Blume!
