5.0 out of 5 stars This book shows you how drinking can affect families., February 11, 1998

This review is from: The Boy Who Drank Too Much (Mass Market Paperback)

The book was overall well written and kept me interested. Now I understand how drinking can be a family problem. For Buff and his father it pushed them apart. It made them have fights and arguments that otherwise they might not have had. Things probably wouldn't have turned out the way they did if Mr.Saunders didn't start drinking.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Boy Who Drank Too Much (Mass Market Paperback)

This story really had my concentration from the beginning to the end. It had well placed settings which it made it easy to understand and follow along through every detail that was going on. I read this book in my English class. This is a really great book choice; something interesting was happening every chapter. I was so engaged by the book things kept telling me "Don't stop now! The best part is about to start!" This is such an unbelievably well written book, that if any person had the chance to read this book, they would be able to understand the problem that Buff is going through. I would recommend this book to any one that faces a problem with alcohol because they might remember why they started drinking in the first place. They might realize that drinking is not the thing to do to deal with there problems and that it's not worth all the damage they are doing to there bodies, and, with some luck, they will understand that they are destroying there life.
