I have never read the first book, but I read the second book and I thought it was good. This is one of the books that keeps making you want to read and see what is going to happen next, and the author gives you enough info, and won't spoil it for you right away, like when you read and you already know what is going to happen next, and with "The Second Summer of the Sisterhood" I had no idea what was going to happen next. I would recommend this book to a girl who likes reading about friends, teenage girls would like this.

I loved this book personally because of its originality and it was just one of the best books I have read in my life. It tells about four average teenage girls who have just as many problems as an average teennage girl today. Ann Brashares is a really good author and I loved the first book also, The Summer of the Traveling Pants.

This was a wonderful book just as the first one. I spent hours in book stores looking for it because I was told they could not order it for me. When I found it, the people looking in the section had to get out of my way as I dove for the last copy sitting on the shelf. Then much to the dimay of my friends spent the whole day and night just reading it.
I must say that I loved it. There were parts that made me laugh and parts that made me sob, not just cry but sob. Although I hold that the second book is rarely as good as the first this one came close, there was some repetitiveness(from the first one), but other than that it is an amazing book that if you liked the first on you should read the second one. I wonder if she will have another one...I'd buy it...well I hope you read the books, both of them, in the right order. It just does not make sense to read the seond one first. Read both.
?????????????????????????

I'm 15 years old, and to some degree, I felt like I could really relate to the book. The book is almost like gossiping, only the good thing no one can get hurt cause it's fictional characters. I enjoy talking about this book to my friends. I feel like I personaly know the characters. The reason I only rated the book a 3:5 i s because I felt the half naked make- out scence, with Kostos and Lena, in front of the Licoln memoral was completely inappropriate. I should be able to read a good teenager book that doesn't pressure or giving teenagers the ideas about sex. What is the auther trying to do, steer up the hormones of many teenager girls around the world and get them all pregnant. I think the 3rd book needs to be sending out a good message to teenagers. Since teenager girls love these books so much, then maybe if it shows the characters as a good influance, teenagers will take that to good use. It' sad know days that kids can't read books they want beacuse of unwanted sexual behaviors, and I believe our parents shouldn't have to worry and be on our backs when it comes to reading. Reading is an awesome gift, why do we need to spoil it with this rumbious crap. This book wasn't all bad, but I did believe some of the pages shouldn't be recammened to teenagers. Half of this book needs to go in the romance section of the libary, and never introduced to a kid, teenager, or a student of any kind.
