For the month of april I went through the reading blahs- I didn't want to read anything, nothing sounded good, I didn't even read the book for Jesse's book club. Blah blah blah. Then at the end of the month I decided to read the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series after I watched teh 2nd movie for the 1st time. These are by Ann Brashares. They were fun enough to perk up my reading interests.
Book 1 is very much like the 1st movie. The writers of the movie followed the story line very closely, but I always think the characters are better developed and represented in books. So that was enjoyable.
The 2nd movie is a modge-podge of the next 3 books, which I thought was pretty weird. I liked the books tons better than the movie, not just because of better character development, but also more extensive plot lines.
I give these books a Thumbs UP!!
