I think The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is definitely a book for girls, and it’s very quick read. This book is ideal for people who don’t get confused by the point of view changing. Most importantly, though, you have to like books about friendship. If you only like mystery, or you only like sci-fi, or you only like action, then this book is not for you. It’s about four girls trying to stay friends during their first summer apart, and going through many challenges along the way. This is more of a romance-y type of novel, so boys probably wouldn’t like it, and if you don’t like the more lovey-dovey type of novels, than this probably will not be your favorite book, or series, seeing as how all four have some type of romance in them.
On a scale of one to ten I would rate this book a nine. The reason I wouldn’t give it a full ten is because some parts got slightly dull, and in some parts, one of the main characters (Carmen) irritated me with some of the decisions that she made, but overall it was an excellent book, and one of the better books that I have read. I love how the author changes her writing style subtly for each of the four main characters – it really adds dimension to the story, because you feel like four different girls wrote their own stories and carefully fitted them together. But yes, a very well-written book, overall.

I like that a character can irritate you -- it tells me you really "get into" the book. Characters become friends, don't they?
