Summary: My All-Time Favorite Novel
Review: I'm a soon-to-be 16 year old from Iowa that has read many great books throughout my life but Summer Sisters blew them away. I was a big Judy Blume fan after reading "Forever..." and found this one on Amazon.com. It is a great story that you might be shocked with the story line at first, but in the end you will want to read it all over again ! I have - 3 times !!!

Summary: Clear understanding on American youngster mind and mood
Review: Excellent..The American people are very different from the Chinese. I think the book serves a good job in reflecting the minds and moods of the American youngsters. A definite page turner. Judy Blume is skilful enough to mesmerize the readers by drifting the change of the relationship of the Summer Sisters is the central story line.

Summary: Couldn't Put It Down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I loved this book. I could hardly put it down. The plot was great and so were the characters! If you like books in a timeline sequence this would be a good book for you. The ending will leave you wondering though....... Blume mixes human emotions. I laughed and cried and sometimes both at the same time.

Summary: Summer Sisters is a great "Summer" read!
Review: I read "Summer Sisters" in one day! I happened to have plenty of time, but it was one of those books that I didn't want to put down! Caitlin and Vix are two distinct personalities and both are likeable: Caitlin is the rich-girl from a broken family (former hippies as parents) and Vix (Victoria) is the classmate Caitlin picks to spend a summer with her on Martha's Vineyard. The story takes both girls through puberty to adulthood. It has a bit of a twist to the ending (which I liked). Judy Blume has "done it" again! Lie down in the hammock and enjoy "Summer Sisters!"

Summary: Wrong target market, Judy!
Review: Poor Blume wants to make her mark in the adult fiction market badly, and it shows in "Summer Sisters." Too bad her writing style is reminiscent of the books she wrote for adolescents. I had a sense of what Blume was striving to portray, however, she never really got me into the consciousness of her characters; they were two-dimensional cut-out characters who were flat and predictable. Reading this book was like watching a made-for-t.v. movie when the picture tube is blown. There is nothing wrong with realizing one's own limitations, and I think Blume should concentrate on writing children's books and leave the adult market for writers who are more qualified.

Summary: I thought this to be a great disappointment.
Review: Judy Blume was one of my favorite authors growing up. I thought for sure that her adult novels would meet with my approval as well. Unfortunately, I found the constant physicality of her writing somewhat annoying. She has more depth than this as an author - I'm sure of it.

Summary: Delightful, Summery-Air, Wonderful Read
Review: Making me think, this book constantly reminded me of my own relationship with my best friend & how similar we each were to Caitlin & Vix. I actually pictured myself in Caitlin's shoes & Vix being my best friend, as the story played out in my mind. GREAT SUMMER BOOK!

Summary: Relive your own relationship with your summer sister!
Review: Summer Sisters was the first official "read" for this off-for-the-summer schoolteacher. What fun, yet sometimes heartbreaking, to flash back to personal experiences while reading about the relationship between Vix and Caitlyn. This book will remind everyone of their summer sisters. The high standards for the rest of my vacation books has been set!
