5.0 out of 5 stars
A great (but campy) teen romance book, October 16, 1999
This review is from: Teen Angel (Paperback)
Okay. So I really love this book. I remember reading it in eight grade and not being able to put it down and now almost fifteen years later I still enjoy the book. If you like Judy Blume you'll love Pilcer's Teen Angel!

"a junior wanderers for the push up bra set", November 11, 2003
This review is from: Teen Angel (Paperback)
i read this book when it came out in paperback form over twenty some odd years ago and its still as fresh in my memory as if i read it yesterday.
teen angel was a wonderful and exciting book and i never understood why it wasnt made into a great 'early 60's coming of age serio-comedy about teen girls in the inner city' movie....i mean richard price's the wanderers had been made into a great movie in 1979 and i think teen angel would have become a classic as well.
hell, it was about an all girl gang in new york city in 1964,they had satin jackets,teased hair and attitude and if i remember correctly,they were in junior high for petes sake!
to speak nothing of the charecters; the gooch,reuben ortega,handy
and all the rest,it was just a really great yet unassuming novel.
the charecters i cared about,as with the wanderers,they were genuine and heartfelt and yes damn it,it would have made a great movie,as there arnt enough movies like this about and for women and im a guy!
if sonia pilcer happens to read this;bravo to you,you wrote a classic and i only hope it gets a re-issue in its twentyfifth year in exsistence.
sincerly and greasily yours,J.S.DICE.

Great book for when going through the transformation to adolescence. Although there is distinct language, it is very funny. I read it when I was
first 13, now I'm 22 and I can't stop reading it at least every two years.
