Exploration!
For my exploration, I read the second, third, and fourth book, and I saw the movie. The movie was good, and the following books were very good.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
I give this book a 9/10
"Once upon a time there was a pair of pants. They were an essential kind of pants - jeans, naturally blue, but not that stiff, new blue you saw so often on the first day of school. They were the soft, changeable bkue with a little extra fading at the knees and the seat, and little white wavelets at the cuffs.
They's had a good life befor us. You could just tell. I guess a thrift shop is like the pound in some ways. Whatever you got owes a lot to its previous owners. Our pants weren't like the neurotic puppy whose parents had left it alone, barking itself hoarse from morning till night. They were more the grown up dog whose family loved it but had to move to an apartment in Korea (is it Korea?), where they sometimes eat dogs.
I could tell the pants hadn't come to our lives because of trajedy. They'd just witnessed on of those regular but painful life transitions. That, it turns out, is the Way of the Pants. They were noble pants, but unassuming. You could glance over at them and just think, "Okay, pants," or you could stop and really look at the beautiful complexity of the colors and seams. They don't force you to admire them. They are just happy doing their basic job of covering your butt without making it look fatter than it actually is."
This story is about four best friends, named Bridget, Lena, Tibby and Carmen. They are inseperable and have spent every summer together for their whole lives, but this summer, they are being seperated. Lena is going to Greece, Bridget is going to Baja, Mexico, Carmen in going to Couth CArolina to visit her dad, and Tibby is left at home to work at the local grocery store. But when a dying girl, a fiancee, and two boys change their summer, things just aren't the same.Will The Pants keep them together, or is the distance too much to handle? Read the Sitisterhood of the Traveling PAnts to find out.
