Summary: Great book for all ages
Comment: If it is true that Brashears wrote this as a book to "stick with young readers" like the books she read as a youth did, then she has succeeded and then some.
PANTS is one of the sweetest books I have read in a long time. It truly reminded me of the Judy Blume books I read as a youth (and that was before MTV kids). It's an easy read, and though it's supposedly for younger readers (teens/tweens), I enjoyed it immensely and I'm almost old enough to be the mom of these characters. Yes, it's predictable, especially if you're over the age of 14 and have read any books in your life, but that doesn't make it any less poignant.
It's rare that someone captures the importance and strength of female friendships and doesn't try to damage it by having one of the girls date another girl's boyfriends. The description of friendship in this book is so true and pure....even if your 15 or 50!
My only complaint is that she never really fleshes out what happened with Bridget at camp. But I guess we'll find that out in the next book, though I can assume it was something very important and I think I can assume she scored on and off the field. If this is the case, it would be great if Brashears expounds on how this experience affected Bridget more than just making her sad. It might help a lot of the young readers of the book sort out their thoughts/feelings about making the decision I think Bridget did. Yes, I'm being a bit vague to protect those who have not read the book yet.
My hope is that we see these girls through high school and college. That is a series I could really get into.
I also liked her use of quotes to signal the chapters. Nice touch, especially for us older readers who have attached great significance to many of those quotes (particularly the song lyrics, ahem.."In Your Eyes"). READ THIS BOOK.

Summary: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Comment: I thought that The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was interesting enough. Some parts it was slow, but I still enjoyed it. I liked how the girls had real teenage problems. There is romance, but it's definately NOT typical. I really liked this book. But, have your parents read it before. They might not want you to read it. There is some mature content in there.

Summary: One of the best books i have ever read!
Comment: This is a fantastic book!!! The book begins with a group of best friends. They are all leaving each other for thhe first time ever. They all are really excited about leaving but are also sad that they will have to leave each other.
One of the girls had bought a pair of pants at a thrift store. (She had never tried them on) One girl sees them and wants them so she tries them on. They fit her PERFECTLY!! The next girl tries them on and they sit on her curves like a glove! The same happens with the other girls. They decide to share the pants all summer and send them to each other when they are done.
Many things happen to the girls over the summer while they are wearing the pants. Then at the end they all write the things that happened to them on the pants.
If you enjoy books like Angus,Thongs,and Full Frontall Snogging, The Princess Diaries series, and Sloppy Firsts you will definitly love this book and understand why it was a New York Times bestseller! If you love this book make sure to check out the sequel!!!
