Rating:  Summary: Amazing! Review: Judy Blume is brilliant, and this book really shows it! Its very entertaining, and touching. I couldn't put it down once I started. I felt like i was there, in the book, going through everything that was described. The characters are addicting, and the plot is anything but predictable. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a good read!
Rating:  Summary: Girlfriend Review: Great story that every girl/woman will relate to and understand. Judy Blume does a fantastic job of taking us with Vix and Caitlin as the grow up from puberty to high school through college and onto marriage and motherhood. There are twists and suprises throughout the book with romances intertwined. She also does a great job showing not only the relationship between girlfriends, but between mothers and daughters.
Rating:  Summary: daydreaming of the vineyard Review: very few books have had an impact on me like Summer Sisters. I read this book the summer of 7th grade in a sweltering garage apartment. I instantly fell in love with the style of her writing from different view points and of course Vix & Caitlin. When i was done reading, i bawled my eyes out. The way she wove the story you felt like you were there, or you wanted to be there, and the ending left me feeling like I had gone through everything Vix had. Through her marvelous writing Blume weaves a tapestry of rich unforgettable characters which left me pining for a friend Vix & hoping that i could become a little more spontaneous like Caitlin. The fact that Blume wrote the whole story in everyone but Caitlin's view point really makes you wonder about the mystery girl.This book will bring out the best in you, because you can really relate to one or the other main characters, and at the same time wish you were a little more like the other you that you don't completley identify with. I got many people hooked on Summer Sisters, like i hope this review will get you hooked. I have read it every year for 4 years & it will continue to be a tradition. By reading this book you will realize the power of friendship, and what a friendship really should be.
Rating:  Summary: Extremely great book Review: I loved this book SUMMER SISTERS. It really reflected how important friendship is, no matter where you are. This book can be inappropiate at times, but in general, it was very suspenseful and i wanted to keep on reading to find out what happens next. Judy Blume could not have used better characters in this book. I suggest that you read this book because it teaches you life long lessons that you will take with you.
Rating:  Summary: Absolutely Enchanting! Review: This book is definitely on my all-time favorites list. It chronicles the evolution of a friendship between two girls. At times shocking and apalling, this book will surely be a favorite of women for lifetimes to come. If you haven't read it, I suggest you do so now.
Rating:  Summary: This was an excellent book! Review: I had to read this book for an English assignment that I did on the bonds and friendships of women. I would have to say that it was the best of the three that I read. I just couldn't put it down. This book explores the phase in a young teenagers life that is usually only written in a diary. The fact that Judy Blume explains the hard but true truths of the novel that are admittedly some of the hardest to deal with. When Caitlin gets married, I just couldn't believe that she chose him of all the men in the world. But the part about how he cheated on her the night of the wedding hit a hard spot in my own life. Well, I just wanted you guys to know that this book was a very good read and I would recommend it to all teenage girls. Not one girl in the world experiences nothing that touches base in the novel.
Rating:  Summary: summer sisters Review: I really enjoyed this book. It kept my intrest thru the whole book. I didnt want to stop reading . I felt if i did i would miss something almost like in real life. The friendship fo the girls was great and reminded me of me and my cousin. I like judy blume as a writer and in my oppinion this was probably the best of her books. I liked how she took us through the many years of the girls life. She made it seem like a normal life. I also loved the weird twist at the end of the book. i never expected what happened to happen. So I would suggest this book to anyone who likes a excitng book with a great ending.
Rating:  Summary: One of the worst books I've ever picked up Review: I don't understand the excellent reviews of this book. It reads like a soap opera. I barely made it through the first 100 pages and then skimmed through the rest and decided I just did not care what happened to these girls.
Rating:  Summary: A keeper! Review: I picked this book up and then returned it to its shelf a few times before I actually bought it. But after reading it, "Summer Sisters" has earned a place on my "keepers" shelf. It was quick reading and that's good because I couldn't put it down. I'd find myself thinking about these characters when I wasn't reading the book, always looking forward to seeing what would happen next. My only complaint: So much time was covered in such a short amount of space, I just wish there had been more detail, especially about the characters' adult lives. By that time, I felt vested in the outcome and characters of the book and felt a little short-shrifted that time was passing so rapidly. The book came to a conclusion too quickly. I'd love to see a sequel...
Rating:  Summary: Summer sisters Review: I an one of Judy Blume's fan and I really admire her writing talent. I hope that she can publish more books
