Summary: It wasnt that great....
Comment: Tell me if lovers are losers is about three girls that become roommates their freshman year of college at Stanton. The three girls are all very different but are able to bond better than i thought. Niki is brass and vulgar. Ann is secure and sensible. Hildy is self assured and has deep faith. The three girls meet and try to start their normal life as a college student. Volleyball starts up and the three girls decide to try out. Hildy is very smart and expercined in the game. Niki is a very fierce competitor and has an attitude that she has to win.
The ending is the most surpising to me. I would have never thought that they would have ended it like that. I like to volleyball part of the game. I liked the idea of the book, three girls from different cultures come together to become great frends. I didnt like how it was written. The story dragged and has a boring intoduction that made me not want to read the book.
Overall the book was hard to follow and hard to get interested in. I disagree with people that say the book is all about volleyball, it shows that they really didnt read the book.

Summary: It's OK...
Comment: I'm in between the other reviewers. This book was semi-interesting because of the way the three girls-Ann, Niki, and Hildy-became linked, yet were each very different. There WERE a lot of typos, but that usually doesn't have much of an affect on how good the plot is. Much of the time was spent telling about volleyball games, which was fun at first but got very boring towards the middle of the book. Hildy's death was a sad surprise that made Ann and Niki even better friends. All the characters were very well-defined. Niki's bad language was kind of amusing, but this is definetly for older girls. I could never call this book one of those "can't-put-it-down" novels, but then again, some people will find it worth reading, I'm sure.

Summary: Excellent book for *older* teens and adults
Comment: I suspect younger ones will be bored silly, or at least that much of the book will go over their heads. This is one of two books that I can remember (the other was Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451) that my parents requested me to wait until I was older to try to read. I'm glad I listened.
I saw the three roommates as the manifestation of Mind (Ann), Body (Niki) and Spirit (Hildy). Although they are so different that it seems that they won't get along, their differences are complementary rather than necessarily antagonistic.
