Summer Sisters

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding! You don't want it to end.
Review: You become involved in the book. It is great! It has just the right amount of romance to keep you interested, but it isn't a romance novel. Just read it! It gets better and better.

Summary: Could we get any more trivial and pathetic??
Review: I was so disappointed with this book due to its lack of depth and overabundance of trivial issues and teenage immaturity. One can't call it a childrens' book either (although that is how it reads) because of the explicit and annoyingly frequent sex-scenes. Then again, it is far from an adult piece because of its lack of maturity and significance. I think Blume is underestimating the intelligence of the average adult reader by thinking we would care about Vix and Caitlin and all of their raunchy and pathetic love adventures. If a picture of a loin-clothed Fabio was on the cover, it would give the reader more of an idea of what they were considering reading.

Summary: A quick read but disappointing
Review: After reading the Ya, Ya's and the little altars I was really excited to read this book also about friends and their relationships. But I COULDN'T RELATE to them. I didn't like them very much or sympathize with them at all. I found myself reading it quickly and thoroughly in the hope of becoming connected to the characters as I have before in the before mentioned books. It was disapointing especially after reading the great reviews here at Amazon!!!!!

Summary: Amazing!!!
Review: "Summer Sisters" was one of the most amazing books I've ever read. I could not put it down and since it was a rather long book, my life was put on hold for a day and a half to read this book. I am a teenager and I do think it was rather sexual for my eyes, but that was half the fun. I literally would think I was in their life when I put the book down, and would get frusterated. The two girls were beautiful and so much of the book reminded me of the years I've experanced and given me more to look forward to. Judy Blume rushed so many emotions into me when reading the book. This is a most read for any women, and is what I believe a "classic for life."

Summary: I loved this book!!!!!
Review: I loved Judy Blume as a child, reading each of her novels atleast twice. I didn't know Judy Blume wrote novels for adults, but myfriend gave it to me on my birthday, and since then, I've read it twice. Summer Sisters manages to be both magical and realistic at the same time, and I alternated between laughing and crying. This book will really make you think. Whether you read Judy Blume as a child or have never read Judy Blume, I suggest that you get this book, ASAP.

Summary: Filth!
Review: I had heard that Judy Blume was being touted as the new adult writer of the day, but I was extremely disappointed. I forced myself to read this rediculous nonsense since I had purchased the book. (I am no prude but a wonderful story line can be developed without the graphics!) My children grew up with Judy Blume books. How easy it is now for youngsters to become disenchanted, skeptical, and questioning of moral values after mistakenly reading one of her so-called adult books. I have "written" this author off my list and regret that Amazon.com gave her such high marks.

Rating:
Summary: Great display of the joy and heartache of friendship.
Review: This booked expresses a great display of friendship ..all the joy and heartache that goes along with it. The young adult 'coming of age' experiences are written so well. This book will bring back memories of how naive and curious you were growing up.

Summary: What a story!
Review: This was an amazing story that flowed from chapter to chapter so nicely that it was hard to find a stopping place that allowed me to go on about my day without thinking about the next event within the book. This novel kept me interested from the beginning and I only put it down when absolutely necessary (i.e. to use the bathroom, go to work, etc.). This was a story so universal, with such diverse characters that I would be at a loss to find someone who can't relate to at least one of the characters. Blume is a writer who can appeal to people of all backgrounds. This is evident in her ability to write books aimed at both young and old with such elegance, charm and humor. The story was fun and uplifting and I recommend it for anyone who wants to spend a day in a soap opera type fantasy world. Like a soap opera, some of it is very predictable and unbelievable to people living in the real world, one puts its flaws aside to live in a fantasy world of forgiveness and unconditional love.

Summary: Couldn't put it down and neither could all of my friends!
Review: Wow, what a great book! Perfect for those almost 30 year olds who were less than angelic growing up. It is fun to think about the good old days and thank your lucky stars that you turned out as well as you did, thanks Judy.
