Customer Reviews

Interesting, accessible -- invaluable

The book was great. My 11 year old son found and read the entire book before I got around to suggesting he look at it. He found it interesting and accessible; and it was a springboard for invaluable conversations between the two of us. The book was comprehensive and written with obvious sensitivity and insight into a highly vulnerable, confusing and exciting time in the lives of young people. There was not a hint of moralizing or sense of being "talked down to", which I greatly appreciated.
