Summer Sisters

Summary: Incredible!!! Amazing!!!
Review: Summer Sisters was a can't stop reading, amazing book. I could not put this book down, which led to a very late night! I plan on reading it again and again! As a teenager I read all of Judy Blume's books and loved them. I always felt a part of the book and when I picked this book out I really felt that now "grown up" I would not feel so into this book because I am an adult! WRONG. There are some real life issues that are not sugar coated or even made into unbelievable issues. But the story of these 2 girls that by some weird chance become best friends and remained even after many horrible and exciting changes was wonderful. I felt I was a part and truly loved it. I recommend this book to all and hope reading this book is as enjoyable.

Summary: Couldn't Put in Down
Review: I just couldn't put this book down. I loved her books as a child and I love this one even more now. I read it all in almost one sitting.

Summary: Trite, disappointing.
Review: When I was an adolescent, I was completely engrossed by Judy Blume's books. They were engaging and not patronizing like some other novels written for those who were my age. However, Summer Sisters presents skeletal portraits of cliched characters. A garden with potential that has been overwatered. No fun. And Ms. Blume IS an excellent writer...so why such a shallow book this time?

Summary: The Best Book I Have Ever Read!
Review: Summer Sisters is the best book I've ever read! I couldn't put it down! I stayed up late at night trying to satisfy my craving for that book. Any girl that has ever been in love can identify with Vix. She reminds me so much of myself. Summer Sisters helped me deal with some of my own problems that I was having. I was able to think things through because I could go and read how things turned out for Vix and hope that the same would happen to me.

Summary: I love Judy's books, and this was one of my favorite.
Review: This book really moved me. It was about friends helping each other and making it through good times, better times, bad times, and the worst of times. Being from the country, I could relate to a lot that happened in Summer Sisters. I hope there is a sequal! I was glued to it, and didn't put it down. Anyone who doesn't find Judy Blume's work mesmerizing is out of thier mind. It took me all of two days to read the entire thing... bravo, Judy, bravo.

Summary: If I Hadn't Bought the Audio, I Would Have Never Finished It
Review: The title of the book was the best part of the whole book. The sad thing is, the book had real portential. It's too bad that the writer went from interesting to smut real quick. I wouldn't recommend this book to any of my friends.

Summary: Nasty Way To Get To A Good Story
Review: I think that the book is very good. I don't think it was unnecessary to have such a nasty beginning because most people do not do those things. I think that if Caitlyn had had more direction in her life, and more guidance, she wouldn't have turned out the way she had. That is why she didn't go to college and marry well.

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!
