" Again I like the story and the series in general "
— Fraya, 2/18/2014" Love these "easy" reads! "
— Jo, 2/12/2014" I did not like this book nearly as much as the previous two. Everything felt a little flat to me and it was seriously unrealistic. I did not feel like the characters really grew at all in this book and it feels like a filler. I'm hoping that means the fourth book is better. "
— Emma, 2/12/2014" This was a very good book, but I enjoyed to first two more. I think the first two of this series were the best. "
— Erin, 2/7/2014" I can't resist the pants! "
— Candy, 2/1/2014" Ok, nowhere near as good as the first book, though "
— Caitlin, 2/1/2014" This book is the third book in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," series. It was entertaining as usual, but I thought this was the least satisfying book out of the four. The first and last books had deep spiritual meaning to them, but the second and third, including this one was a bit shallow. Its written for a teenage girl. There are some mature themes. I enjoyed the book, although it wasn't my favorite. My favorite character was Paul, because he is the kind of person of I would want to be. I give this book four stars. "
— Faith, 1/24/2014" another sisterhood book, read it last year "
— Lisey, 1/21/2014" Love this series. The 3rd summer was soooo good. Can't wait to read the 4th one, and then watch the movie! "
— Lrlockwood, 1/18/2014" I've liked all of the Traveling Pants books, but so far this one is my favorite. "
— Carol, 1/8/2014" The third summer, the summer before college. The girls prepare for college, have some new and old romances, and keep the spirit of the pants alive. "
— Jackie, 12/28/2013" Cute summer read for any age "
— Jess, 12/18/2013" a tale of the power of friendship "
— Sandy, 12/7/2013" I became less thrilled with these books as they went on. Fun to engage in teenage drama, but after a while enough was enough. Also, I read all 4 books in 3 days, so I guess that's what you get. "
— Emily, 11/26/2013" Brashares does it again! The girls continue to grow and learn throughout the third book in the sisterhood. I think I will love this series forever, no matter how old I get :) "
— Ellon, 11/5/2013" Third book, still funny, still a great read! "
— Emaline, 8/13/2013" Absolute great read - love the whole series "
— Florencia, 8/17/2012" This book made me want to be part of a gropup of friends..and sent me into a really weird soccer faze..that i would rather not look back on... "
— Kendra, 6/15/2012" luv this one more "
— Bianca, 6/15/2012" By far my favorite book out of all three Sisterhood's, although I wish that Brashares would have went more into detail about some of the things that were happening. "
— Samantha, 5/13/2012" Still okay.. "
— Shirelle, 4/8/2012" i luuuved this book! best one in the series! "
— Annalena, 10/30/2011" *shrugs* "
— Creampuffys, 10/11/2011" this is probably my favorite out of the entire series. in short, i really enjoyed the series- it was nice to read something.. well normal. no fantasy. everything that could happen (and probably does) to normal kids. well somewhat normal kids. "
— Jin, 9/1/2011" very good but i thought it was sad "
— Kateri, 8/24/2011" I love this series they are so much fun to read. I am so sad that the book is over. "
— Guen, 7/24/2011" I really thought this was rather cute. Feel so sad for Lena but loved seeing the growth in Carman and Bee. <br/> "
— Jaime, 6/25/2011" I guess I was bored and read the second one as well. I had the other ones checked out but won't be reading them. "
— Christie, 6/20/2011" Loved it just as much as the first one! "
— Julie, 6/16/2011" Likes: <br/>* Carmen learning to think about her mom <br/> <br/>Dislikes: <br/>* too much teen desire "
— Marla, 6/10/2011" Way better than the movie...but would of like Lena and Kostos to be together like in the movie!! "
— Nadine, 6/6/2011" I also loved this one, though not as much as the first one. I'm waiting to see the movie until I finish the rest of the series because I've heard that it is a combination of the last three. "
— Katie, 6/5/2011" The second summer is very mind catching.The girls have very different places to go to and the pants make them feel closer.And Bridget meets Eric again in her second summer at camp. "
— Adrina, 5/27/2011" More like 3½ stars. This book was slightly darker and more grim than the earlier one, but it sort of gave it an edge. It certainly made me want to read the next one as well. I was, though, a little sad that the pants sort of fell into the background. But oh well, they were still there! "
— Maja, 5/23/2011" This book made me cry and smile. Even though I do have a favourite of the four girls, I still felt for everyone. "
— Kim, 5/19/2011" I liked this book even more than the first one it was great "
