1.0 out of 5 stars Not so Hot, August 17, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Big Book of Teen Rooms (Paperback)

I am a 13-year old girl (I really am 13, I just didnt understand the adult reveiw system) re-doiecorating my room, and I needed a book for ideas. I ordered this book expecting many different styles and ideas for rooms, but I was very disapointed. There are only eight different rooms, and I feel that they were all very much out-dated. I wanted something hip and current (like most teens want), but that book really wasnt that at all.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very many options, August 22, 2005

This review is from: The Big Book of Teen Rooms (Paperback)

I do not think that this book had a lot of crafts that many teens would like. One of the rooms was so childish and colorful that I could not imagine many teens wanting. There were a couple ideas that were okay, like table covers and lamps, but not a lot of the crafts were things i would imagine a lot of teens wanting. The title is also misleading - it's not really a big book of teen rooms - it's a small book of out-dated pre-teen rooms.

This review is from: The Big Book of Teen Rooms (Paperback)

I got this book to look for ideas for re-doing my 14 year-old son's room. He has not had an update since 4th grade and wanted to move beyond his "cowboy cats" theme. This book had several VERY DO-ABLE rooms. Each room gave you detailed instructions on how to create the different looks. I have seen some children/teen rooms in magazines that make me laugh because they are either so "decorated" that a real kid could never match, or they are so obviously created for a million dollar home. I could picture real kids LIVING in all of the rooms pictured.
