The Last Summer


This book was OK. Unfortunately it reminded me of some of the books I read in my Adolescent Lit class, which I didn't like. The characters were very internal, only thinking, never speaking what they felt. I started the book feeling like I was supposed to analyze the characters and it never changed. While the ending was a little sad, it did tie things up pretty nicely so that's good.
It makes me a little hesitant to read her other books (The sisterhood of the travelling pants.) Has anyone read those? Are they really as good as I've heard? I've seen the movies and loved them. Should I ruin it by reading the books?

I read the first book of sisterhood and enjoyed it for the most part. I was afraid to keep reading the series so I don't know how the others were. The first one was pretty clean, but I could just imagine how the rest turned out. I guess since I didn't read them I don't really know. If you do read and and recommend them let me know and maybe I'll revisit them.

I read the first two...I liked them. They weren't my favorite...but right now I totally read for pleasure and so they at least kept my attention.
