As I skimmed my bookshelves in late fall, a certain book caught my eye: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, by Ann Brashares. I made a greivous mistake by taking it off the shelf and deciding to read it. The writing is awful. To sum it up, it was the sappiest, girliest, worst book ever. Hardly a chapter went by without the narrator swooning over some guy.
The four main characters, Lena, Tibby, Bridget, and Carmen, are best friends in school, but go different places over the summer: Lena to Greece, Bridget to Mexico, Carmen to South Carolina, and Tibby to the local drugstore for her first job.
They keep in touch using letters and sending the Pants, a pair of supposedly lucky blue jeans that magically fits them all.
They all have their corny romances, come back together at the end of the book, and that's it.
There is no worse reading choice than this book; the plot is nonexistent and the word choice is feeble. Do not read this book.~Skyler Mae
