I saw the Pants movies back when they came out, and enjoyed them very much. I was always curious how they compared to the books, and I have to admit, it was a great adaptation. Then again, I think they had a great story to work with. I am all for fierce friendships, and I like it even better, when it's a friendship between a group of females, who are so supportive. I loved the way the story panned from girl to girl, and how their "spotlights" were interspersed with letters to one another.

Overall: A really sweet and touching story of friendship, which warmed my heart.

'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' was one of my favourite books when I was still a young teen girl. Since that is also the target audience, it was definitely a more appealing read for me back then than it is today. In fact, I picked it up again in a quest to reread all four book before delving into 'Sisterhood Everlasting', so it really is a refresher for me.

Either way, I still think that it is a good book that speaks about friendship between girls who are very different yet have great love for each other, even when they are apart. In fact, it is through their summer apart that they discover more about themselves while gaining strength and encouragement from this special bond they share. This also means that for most readers, at least one of the four girls is bound to be engaging and so would make this book worth reading.
