has anyone read this book?

it's about 4 girls who have been friends since they were born, about 13 years later, one of them buys a pair of jeans but puts them away and forgets about them. all of them are other in this girls room and they all try it on and it seems to fit them all perfectly. it then becomes the Travelling Pants and whenever the girls go on holidays , each of them have to take it with them and after something special happens , they write or put something onto the jeans that symbolises what happened.....

and basically it just tells you what happens when they go on holiday...

it's a really good book. i reccomend this to anyone between the ages of 13-17
it's one of those girly books that you like to get into.

but if i haven't convinced you, give it a go. it;s really good....

i think its more then 13yrs later after they were born when Carmen buys the jeans.
coz in the third book, they are going to college.
i think they are around 15-16 in the first book.

Apparently it opens June 3rd in America, and we're usually a little behind the US. So maybe the July holidays?

possibly because bledel has dark hair, and from what i can remember, her skin looks tanned.

Lena is described as having very petite features, and isnt typically greek like her sister effie is!

my friends and i love these books, and i so cannot wait until the movie comes out... i almost cried in the preview... how sad is that? however i think they've stuffed up the guys roles more than the girls... brian is described as pasty, and the guy they have playing him has like an asian background! but i still cant wait till it comes out

i think they will do a fourth book, just to finish everything up, they kinda left us hanging with Lena's love life in the last one, which i got a tad cut about

hey, i just found out that Alexis Bledel is spanish and her first language is spanish and she had to learn english at school. But she still doesn't look Greek, at all. i don't know why they didn't use someone who at least looks Greek.

the girl who is playing Carmen actually looks Costa Rican, and maybe she is.

But i also think, the girl who is playing Bee, her hair should be like it says in the book. It's too, normal blonde. It should be different.
