Summer Sisters

Rating:
Summary: MAJOR WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!
Review: I cannot believe I just wasted several hours of my life reading this totally unbelievable trash. My friend recommended this book to me, saying it made her cry, that it was really good. Sorry, but the only tears I shed were the ones that came as I laughed hysterically over the shallow, unlikable characters and the simplistic, predictable plotline etc. I loved most of Judy Blume's books when I was growing up but this was just BAD!!!! Are you sure she really wrote it???!!!???

Summary: The worst book I have ever read...
Review: This book is a goofy look at sex from I don't know whose perspective! No one could be as stupid as the characters in this book. Absolute trash.

Summary: This is quite possibly the best book I have ever read.
Review: I also spent my summers growing up on Martha's Vineyard and go back whenever I can. I can totally relate to Vix and Caitlin's memories there of The Flying Horses, Mad Martha's, Murdick's Fudge, the beautiful Menemsha sunsets and parties on Chappaquidick Island. My name is actually Caitlin as well and my mother, also having spent summers on the vineyard, dated a guy named Bruce, just like Vix's Bru. This book was enchanting and spellbinding. I couldn't put it down once I began reading it. I've read it twice more since I purchased it six months ago. I grew up on Judy Blume's books for young adults and I find her books for people more my age (19) and older just as fabulous. I can't wait for the sequel! Is Caitlin really dead? Tell us, Judy!

Summary: Creative, Daring, and Plain Wonderful
Review: This book has now become on of my favorite's. No one can capture true feelings, love, and lust in words like Judy Blume can. The book had me laughing, noddind, agreeing, and crying. Judy Blume isen't scared to say and pin point excatly what her charecters feel. Definatly one of my most charied adult novels!

Summary: As an old die hard fan of JB, this was not that great.
Review: As many of the reviewers here have said, I was a die-hard fan of Judy Blume from age 8 to 11. Her book changed and inspired events in my life, and I would love to meet her and tell her so. With that out of the way, this book had a very boring, unlikable protagonist (poor girl, smart and good), and a cliche antagonist (gorgeous rich-girl best friend), both with not enough substance or backgrounds. I didn't like Vix very much & couldn't understand why Caitlin did. It was hard to be compassionate towards her, she seemed to have the personality of a flea. Other characters, the reader gets a taste of (like Daniel, Gus, Sharkey, Phoebe), but it wasn't enough. Events are rushed through in the end. And characters get more and more sketchy. Read it out of loyalty to Judy, it IS a quick read. But check it out in the library or wait fo r the paperback.

Rating:
Summary: A book of friends & love that everyone can relate to.
Review: Summer Sisters is a book that shows a lot of common feelings for teen girls that other teens can really relate to. There are also certain events that we wish could happen to us. It is a story of a unique friendship and love. It really makes you think about your purpose in life and what kind of friends you have. It shows consequences of choices and how 2 best friends split paths but are forever conected at heart.

Summary: Adult or Teenage Fiction?
Review: I read everything that Judy Blume published when I was an adolescent and her books were out of this world but I found as an adult this book did not hold my attention. I would recommend it to a teenager but not to any of my adult friends.

Rating:
Summary: I CAN'T WAIT FOR HER NEXT ADULT NOVEL
Review: I could not put this book down. I read all her books when I was in grade school, Junior High and High School. She is a wonderful author. I could always live my life through her characters. Once again she did not let me down. I have never been so moved by a book.

Rating:
Summary: Good Job Judy
Review: This book was such a page-turner! Once you read it, you'll never forget it. It makes you realize how precious friendship, love, and family are. It will surprise you and make you sentimental. This book would have been a lot better if they would have cut-out the language, though.

Rating:
Summary: Found this to be absolutely delightful book.
Review: Enjoyed this book very much. Was such an easy and delightful read. Pre adolescent girls going through life and the families and friends doing the same. Wonderful writing, keeping you enthralled from first to last page. Rythm and style to keep you interested and thinking about the values and moral challenges of ordinary people in some extraordinary situations. A must read, and book to return to for pleasure.
