I like the book, it's informative and it's easy to find a topic. I don't like all the jumping around within the topics, it's like it's never focused on one point so you have a snippet here and then the continuation is someplace else. So I guess if you read the whole entire thing that's not a problem, but if you're looking for something specific it can be. Like for example I'm a single parent and male, and since info on that is all scattered throughout the book I had to read through the parts that dealt with mothers and married teen parents and non-custodial parents. I would have preferred clear topics, but this book is actually the best resource I have found and the most complete and informative.

There aren't many books that talk about teen dads, so it's good to see this one - it's both positive ("you can succeed if you're committed to it" as opposed to "that's it, you've ruined your life") and brings up the important issues (taxes have little to do with parenting). I like the way the author tries to include everyone, avoiding calling all teen parents "teen moms," and acknowledging that there are single parents out there and that they're not all female. It includes all the information, and doesn't include the parts that have the potential of making you say "this has nothing to do with me ... what about me?"
