Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books

[E, LoR]

I really really loved these books, and I was just wondering what anybody else thought of them. :)

[cee2lee2]

Haven't read the books but saw the movie. Wasn't expecting much from it (saw it on a plane trip) and was pleasantly surprised. Liked the way the girls friendship was exressed. Saw the Ya-Ya Sisterhood movie a few years before (also on a plane :D ) and thought this was a much better movie.

OOh, I loved these books so much !!!
I've seen the movies some weeks ago, unfortunatly it hasn't got out in cinemas in France or Belgium, so I just saw it in DVD, and I thought it was quite good.
Do you know if a 4th book will be written ?

Quite sure it will;), those books are booming. I saw the movie in theaters (for sis' sake). I have my criticisms, but I thought America Ferrera was good, and Amber Tamblyn too.

[Elanor's Angel]

I love them!!!!!! But I'm not shure there will ever be more.... sad as it is...

[tolkienfan]

I read the first one, tons of people recommended it to me, so I had high expectations. But I actually did not like it. I have not seen the movie yet.

[Elanor's Angel]

Why did'nt you like them?

[tolkienfan]

I didn't like the beginning, it was very confusing. It seemed to me like parts were kind of badly written, and unrealistic. The main reason however is Bridget. She didn't feel like a real person to me, and she was a very bad girl. The story didn't really seem to me much about friendship. I didn't really like much in Carmen or Lena's stories either. I did like Tibby and Bailey though.

[Elanor's Angel]

I really liked the style.

[E, LoR]

i don't think that bridget was a "bad girl" exactly. I think she was just impulsive and out of control. I can actually relate to her a little. Carmen too. Sometimes Tibby. I liked it because the situations were fairly real, except exaggerated a little maybe.

[Elanor's Angel]

Well, they are dramatic. I have friends who are worse. it's what makes them, them.

[E, LoR]

i have friends like all the SotP characters. It's kind of strange...


The rule can die.

[Elanor's Angel]

Yeah. That is majorly cool!
(Die rule! Die a painful, painful death!)

Maybe you're right about Bridget. I did feel very sorry for her at the end.

[E, LoR]

I like her through out all the books. She's always got an interesting story.

[Elanor's Angel]

Have you read them all? I have.

[E, LoR]

yeah.. im so freaking obsessed! I own the DVD too

(DEATH TO THE RULE x2)

[Elanor's Angel]

Me too! I have a copy on each by my bed! (With LOTR and HP and DWD!!)

[E, LoR]

I read one practically every month!!!

[Elanor's Angel]

[Elanor's Angel]

I have many favorite jeans! The ones I am in are drak blue and very low on my hips. :D

[E, LoR]

[Elanor's Angel]

[E, LoR]

[Elanor's Angel]

yes yes...
I love the quotes in the books!
(down with the rule!)

[E, LoR]

ohhh yeah! They're great. there's one of JRR tolkiens in it... at the beginning

(DEATH TO THE RULE :mad: )

[Elanor's Angel]

I memorized that poem, so I found that extra-supper cool!

[E, LoR]

yess. i liked the one that was like, "before you criticize some one walk a mile in their shoes so that when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes."

[Elanor's Angel]

*laughs* There was one to the effect of
"Your chances of getting hit by lightning go up when you stand under a tall tree, shake your fists at the sky, and say 'storms suck!'" :D

[E, LoR]

I loveeeeddd that!!!! I also liked "aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly. but the bumblebee doesnt know that so it just goes on flying anyway."

(RULEEEEEEE :mad: )

[Elanor's Angel]

"some days your the windshield, somtimes your the bug"

another favorite
"I need your star, just for a day"

[E, LoR]

they were funny! I liked, "If you feel like you're incontrol you're just not going fast enough." that was in my sig once...

(and if you feel like the rule isn't too big a problem, you're just not posting fast enough...)

*laughs* That is so totally true!!!

[E, LoR]

at one point my friends and i were obsessed over trying to find a pair of jeans that would fit all of us. :D

[Elanor's Angel]

i wish I could too! My friend and i have matching pj pants! But the problem is, all of my friends have beautiful curves, and I have petite hips and well... We never can share anything! it makes me envy the books even more! They should make more magic pants in the world!

[E, LoR]

sheesh! ditto that. im 10x smaller than my friends. it would be so cool though.

[Elanor's Angel]

sheesh! ditto that. im 10x smaller than my friends. it would be so cool though.
Same here.... I know... WE should find the magic pants! :D

[E, LoR]

YES. It can be our mission in life. :D

that and killing the rule!!!

[Elanor's Angel]

YES. It can be our mission in life. :D

that and killing the rule!!!
Totally! Pant-ing the world in magic!

[E, LoR]

panting the world in magic in 90 SECONDS!!! WOOT! :D

we are too special to be even CONSIDERED special.

[Elanor's Angel]

I know! :D
(*kills rule while seeking out jeans*) (It's fun to multi-task!)

[Elanor's Angel]

ok, I have to re-kindle this thread! I love it so! Pants Unite!

[tolkienfan]

Well, I read the rest of the books, and saw the movie. I have to say, I liked them better as a whole as the series went on. I like Bridget better now too. I think Tibby's story in the first book is my favorite though. As for the movie, I think they did it pretty well. Lena's story was totally changed, but still pretty good.

[Elanor's Angel]

I want them to do the 2nd book... and the third for that matter..... I like the movie, I really do. Great chick flick, and thoes can be hard to find...
