maxwellen97 's review for:
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
by Ann Brashares
SOME SPOILERS, LOOK OUT UNLESS YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT RUINING A GOOD BOOK!
I read the whole Sisterhood series when I was about ten years old (still have no idea why) and this year I decided, since I owned the first and the fourth book, I should at least try again.
I went into it with a sense of care, I hadn't really liked it the first time around, and was wary to the wasting of my time.
However, I loved it, as much as I love the movie. Lena was my favourite, because Kostos is dreamy, obviously, and Greece sounds so beautiful and was described so well, I could imagine myself actually there.
Tibby is interesting, because I liked her family story (parents were hippies turned proper parents), but the whole freezing Mimi in the fridge thing freaked me out a little bit, however I did still like her whole 'left at home to work at a supermarket' thing, and Bailey is cute, but saddening.
Carmen annoyed me the most, because she was so rude to her stepfamily at first, but I was cheering internally when she threw that rock into the window. I liked the drama of the alcoholic previous husband of Lydia, and how that has affected Krista and Paul, and although Carmen was grumpy and snarky, I could see why she did that stuff, because they were infuriating at times.
Bridget was my favourite until the end of the book when she went a bit depressed because of her fling with Eric, and her mum (whose illness was so sad I nearly cried proper tears).
Overall, a cute story of close friendships, truthful, real, dynamic, and I liked it all. Can't wait to re-read all the other books, and I'd recommend the series for anyone who is a teenage girl with close friends, or has been a teenage girl with close friends like those in the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.
