Better than the first one, but.... . This is the second book about a group of four best friends who go their separate ways for a summer, keeping in touch through writing and passing along a shared pair of jeans. The characters in this story were likable. I enjoyed reading the story from the various points of view. I liked the ways the four girls supported each other through hard times. However, I found much of the story to be utterly predictable. From the moment I started reading, I could tell exactly how Tibby's experience at the summer program and her adoration for the "cool" kids would turn out. I also knew what would happen when Bee tracked down her grandmother. Carmen's mother's relationship followed an equally predictable arc. Although the characters were good, I found the story lines too dull to really sustain my interest
NEG

A sad, sad book . This book is not even up to the level of smear. It is a shame that people could write such trash and make money off of smearing a good and honest man. Please do not wast your money and reward these political hacks

A critical analysis worthy of acclaim . Among the books in defense of globalization, this is among the best for the methodlogical care with which the author has presented his arguments. The text is lucid and very appropriate for students. Perhaps the only deficiency is a reluctance to engage the question of institutional reform with the WTO that could potentially compromise environmental and social protection. The failure of the Doha round and the WSSD in this regard is neglected. However, the author does an admirable job debunking a lot of myths that are so vitriolically presented by antiglobalization activists.
