I read this book when I was 12 and I read it at least once a year since then... Each time I read it I remember what it was like to be an akward teen going through the angst of my senior year. I've had friends like Liz and Sean and I was a Maggie once myself...

This review is from: My Darling, My Hamburger (Paperback)

In My Darling, My Hamburger, they talk about many topics amoung teens today. In the book a senior named Liz faces problems like: I love my boy friend, but do I love him enough to have sex with him; and If I do get pregnant what will I do? Will I have the baby or get an abortion? Paul Zindel did a great job writting this book. It expresses many problems that teens face today like dating, sex, teenage pregnancy, and many others. This book was one of the best books I have read ever.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: My Darling, My Hamburger (Paperback)

I read this book because it was on my reading list and because my mom had read it when she was in school. I really liked this book and I read it all in one night. This book had some mature subject matter that young kids should not read. For the most part, I thought this book was good and I especially enjoyed Maggie and Dennis.
