This will be the last entry that I write for a while
This entry will be entirely devoted to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Movie. A few post later there is exscrips from book nimbers one and two.
I have read all three of the books, and love the series. I'm so excited! I'm going to see the movie as soon as it comes out. It was supposed to come out on my birthday, but Star Wars comes out on the 19th and Sisterhood didn't want to compete for sales.
A summery of ths book is: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants brings to the screen Ann Brashares best-selling novel about one very special summer in the lives of four lifelong friends. Introduced as babies who were born to mothers who met in a prenatal aerobics class, the four grew up together and developed an enduring bond despite their distinctly different emerging personalities. Now, after years of sharing every triumph and loss, every wild idea and secret fear with the laughter and love of true friends, these four young women couldn't be closer except that they are about to be separated as their lives take them in different directions for the first time. Introspective and occasionally volatile Carmen (AMERICA FERRERA) is looking forward to spending quality time with her out-of-state dad, whom she hasn't seen much since he divorced her mother years ago; super-confident star athlete Bridget (BLAKE LIVELY) is heading for a soccer camp in Mexico; soft-spoken Lena (ALEXIS BLEDEL), a gifted artist as beautiful as her drawings, is set to discover her heritage and an unexpected romance on a trip to her grandparents home in Greece; and sharp-witted rebel Tibby (AMBER TAMBLYN) will reluctantly remain in town, stocking shelves at the local discount store while working on her pet project, a video documentary to expose what she sees as the banality of everyday life. On a shopping trip together the day before their paths diverge, the friends find a pair of thrift-shop jeans that amazingly fits and flatters each one of them perfectly, even though they are four young women of very different shapes and sizes. It seems these pants are meant for sharing and that gives Carmen, Bridget, Lena and Tibby a wonderful idea. They decide to use the pants as a way of keeping in touch during the months ahead, each one wearing them for a week to see what luck they bring before mailing them on to the next. In this unique way, though miles apart, the four still experience the challenges and surprises of life as they always have. Together they have a summer that they will never forget.
