Summer Sisters

Summary: This was my first adult Judy Blume novel and it was amazing!
Review: This book was just amazing to me. I have been a huge fan of Judy Blume's since I was 10 years old. I was a little afraid that Summer Sisters might let me down now that I am in my mid 20's- but boy was I happily surprised! I think every girl or woman has had a Caitlin/Vix type of relationship and can really relate to what went on. You feel as if you really are in their minds, watching this whole story of their lives unfold. I thought about these two characters while I was at work every day - that's how much they get under your skin. If you enjoyed "Are You there God, it's me Margaret" as a child or teenager, you will absolutely love this book. I was sorry to finish the last chapter, I wish it could've gone on forever.

Summary: Excellent! Couldn't put it down!
Review: Judy Blume does it again! This book reminded me of how I loved reading her books as a child. Blume allows the reader to get swept away into the story. The story begins in the present, goes into the past and resolves in the future. I could not put the book down for a minute. You must read this book if you are a Judy Blume fan!

Summary: Too good to put down!
Review: If you are looking for a book to read over a long period of time dont pick this book up. As soon as you begin the book you are rapped up in the story. It was the best book I have ever read! Judy Blume does an excellent job in giving clear and vivid details of each character. This is the type of book i will read again. I have recommended the book to friends and they all feel in love with it like I did. Don't wait, read it now!

Summary: So-So. Doesn't really live up to its ratings..
Review: I was really excited about reading this book as I heard nothing but good about it. Its not that its *bad* but its been done before. Blume gives good charaterizations but the writing is choppy. It was predictable and could have been shortend to about 1/2 the length if taken out the many meaniningless parts. Overall something to read at the beach- just dont get to excited

Summary: okay but needs to brush up ending
Review: summer sisters is a good book but the ending is rushed and it doesn't make sense to me. also, Judy blume doesn't tell what is happening in Caitlens point of view so the book is not complete. plus everyone knew that caitlen would disappear in the end. the only exciting bits was when they were kids. when they grow up, it get complicated with all the monologues and all. I would not suggest this to another person it is not all that good and does not deserve all the praise it got. Judy Blume should work on kid books.

Summary: Very disappointed.
Review: I read this book because I was told it was so wonderful by several people. Reading about the sexual escapades of two teenagers is not my idea of a good read. There were probably 25 pages in the entire book that didn't mention sex, their breasts, or a man's "package." I would never recommend this book to anyone. I can't believe that I even bothered to finish it.

Summary: Can't put this book down!
Review: I chose this book because it had Judy Blume's name on the cover. I sat down to read it and couldn't stop until I was finished about 1:oo am the next morning. It is the kind of book that makes you want to turn the page just to see what is going to happen next. A great book for the beach.

Summary: Pure FLUFF but entertaining
Review: Judy Blume still has her talent for weaving an entertaining tale even though it may lack depth. I bought this book one evening at the supermarket and finished it in less than 24 hours. It did serve its purpose - to whisk me away to a time when one's girlhood friendships could be based on a bond as loose as being in the same class together. The story does remind one of how friends grow and change and risk growing apart permanently. For a fortunate few that bond, forged in blissfully ignorant youth, can be stronger than the betrayals that follow throughout the years. Overall a fun and easy read that I recommended to my best friend...

Summary: Summer Sisters was an EXCELLENT book.
Review: I could not put the book down, it pulled me in and I wanted to finish. I read "Summer Sisters" in 2 nights,something I rarely do. If you are a Judy Blume fan, you need to read this book....

Summary: Shallow
Review: Summer Sisters was a little shallow and vacuous for my taste. I've read other Blume books that were a lot better. I am more of a "Memoirs of a Geisha", or "The Triumph and the Glory" type, eager to read about women making their own way in the world without depending upon sex or relationships with men to justify their existence or measure themselves against themselves or other women.
