Fun book

Slow Dance: Heart Break Blues is a great book for teens trying to get through life. Many teens would be able to relate to this. I loved all the poems in it and it is just a great book in all. I recommend this to teens just trying to get through life.

A poingant peek at adolescence as many of us remember it.

Arnold Adoff captures the essence of being a fumbling, embarassed teenager through his poems. Love, drugs, and school are just a few of the topics covered in the many uniquely formed poems. Adoff, who writes successfully from many perspectives, can bring you back to your youth or identify with a young person today with "Slow Dance: Heart Break Blues."
