Book Beginnings: The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants - Ann Brashares

'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 that you see so often on the first day of school. They were a soft changeable blue with a little extra fading at the knees and the seat and white wavelets at the cuffs.'

This first beginning is given by Carmen. It's a little longer than I'd usually put a beginning, but that's because I've already read all four books and wanted to compare/contrast them a little. Not so much in this post however.

What I do think of this beginning is that it gives a concise summation of the feeling of the whole book, and the bond that the four girls share.

I'm linking up with Book Beginnings @ Rose City Reader.

Have you read this book? What did you think?

    1. It's a simple read, and I mostly read it because I watched the movie :) There isn't a huge difference between the two and I think I actually prefer the movie version of this one.

    1. If you're looking for a simple read then this one is worth it.

  3. It seems only natural that a book with pants so interestingly placed in the title, should have pants in it's beginning!

  4. I didn't realize the movie was adapted from a book! I'll definitely read this.

    1. Yeah, a friend of mine actually read this series in high school, I didn't realise there was a movie until this summer. I think she tried to get me to read the book at the time though.
