I started the third Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book yesterday. So far, Carmen has found out that she is going to have a baby sibling. She has always wanted one, but thinks that the baby will replace her since it will be born the month she does off to college. Besides this, Lena's parents have decided not to pay for her to go to RISD (my parents went here). Also, Tibby's sister Katherine jumed out of a windowto get an apple fracturin her skull. The final friend, Bee has gone to a soccer camp as a coach, just to meet up with her old boyfriend Eric, who has a new girlfriend.
Although I liked the first two books in this series, I think that this one is overdramatic, and portrays the girls as helpless. I mean, not only do most of the characters fall for almost every guy they meet, someone's sister had to jump out of a window. It's like a sopa opera. In the first two books, the charaters fend for themselves and adapt, but now, they just give up and cry. I really did like the other two stories, so I might try to finish the series to see if it gets better, put so far, I just don't like the way this book was written.

Why do you think the author would change her characters' style so much? Is she setting the reader up for a greater realization?
ReplyDeleteI think that she probably was given a deadline that didn't enable her to think through what she wanted to achieve. If the publisher told her they needed her book by a certain date, she would have had to written the first thing that came to mind. Also, I think that the series was only being continued to make more money.
