2.0 out of 5 stars Don't think teens will find it interesting enough to read., March 22, 2007

Catchy title - from Jefferson Airplane - and good graphics -- but I can't see my teen son actually being interested in reading this book, so it will not be much help as the guide/reference book I hoped it would be. It does address specific, troubling, teen issues and gives candid info on how to respond to situations -- but the book is not something, I think, that teens -- especially those it is intended to help - will use and learn from without parental oversight and guidance.

Great book - Both of my kids and I read this book and it help give them some tools to deal with the conflict between their mother and I as a result of our divorce. The book provided me an increased awareness of what they were going through.
