On Tuesday, the last book from one of my all-time favorite series of books was released: the fourth book in the Traveling Pants series. Needless to say, I picked it up after work and had it finished before bedtime.
I hated for the series to end, but the author knew when and how to end it and did it in a really authentic and satisfying way. She didn't play any cheap tricks like so many authors, paticularly of teen series play … especially drawing what should be one book into three or four and covering increasingly small periods of time. She stuck true to the format and true to the spirit of the stories and I know I will continue to re-read this series over and over in years to come.
I won't go too much into the plot because I really don't want to ruin any of it, but I will encourage you and possibly badger you if I know you well … if you are a girl (sorry to be sexist) you must READ THESE BOOKS. They are wonderful and well worth your time.
Loved the movie. Never read the books but I think I will, I've been hearing a lot about them. How's the Wii?
I read about the final book in Entertainment Weekly. What did you think about the movie?
