This is an extremely entertaining, well-written book. The book deals poignantly and realistically with the ups and downs of adolescence through engaging characters that you find yourself relating to and cheering for, regardless of your age. Middle school and high school aged readers will love the book, but adults too will find it a wry, intelligently written, and very funny read as well. Could not recommend more highly!

A very positive and realistic look into the lives of young adults who attempt to navigate through a very important time in their lives -- Senior Year of High School.  Dealing with issues that every young adult comes across in one way or another : friendships, relationships, love, sex, peer pressure, college, communication with parents, etc., the journey of April and Lance is absolutely a must read and hopefully will inspire our young people, particularly girls, to believe that they're "Worth Waiting For".  You won't be able to put this book down !!!

Plainly put - this is a great book for any athletic teenage girl (or her father).  When tragedy strikes a small Texas town, against all odds, the girls basketball team from this one small redefine for an entire town what it means to be a friend, a beacon of hope, and a community, even when there are many that would stand in your way.  When my daughter finished the book she thought I would like it too; boy was she right.  I could see the movie being made of this uplifting story and am sorry that to my knowledge no one to this day has sought to bring this great story to the big screen to be shared with everyone.  Mr. Barber, my hat is off to you.  This is an excellent book that should be required reading!

This beautifully written and extremely important book should be mandatory reading for every high-school student around the globe. Small book with a powerful message that should be absorbed into a life-altering mindset which may be acted out moment by relevant moment.

There is not enough compliments in the world to give this book.  Finally an author came along who wrote a book about high school life that is realistic.  Her characters could be related to people I have known before, which made reading the book twice as fun, since I could make comparisons with my own life.  Every high schooler should definitely read this book.

In 121 pages, "Get Your Finances Right" gives the reader not only a fine understanding of basic finance, but also a clear plan of how to move toward a life of financial well being.  The book should be required reading for every High School senior.  For those of us for whom High School is a distant memory, there is still much to be learned from this book.  The chapter on Stocks and Investing is a wonderful summary of basic investing.  The chapter on How to Start a Business is packed with useful information.  The chapter on Income Taxes takes a terribly confusing and complicated subject and makes it clear and easy to understand.  Mr. Laramore's writing style is clear and precise. I recommend this book highly.

I am a 40-year old mother of two grade-schoolers, and an avid reader (i read everything...memoirs, fiction, nonfiction...) I LOVED THIS BOOK!! The story pulled me in right away and kept me rapt until the very end, and the characters stayed with me days after I finished it. Suzy has written a gorgeous story about sisters and families, and what it is like trying to figure out all of it while roaming your high school hallways and maneuver the politics of being a teenager.

As soon as my daughter is old enough, this will be one of the first books we read together. Read it for yourself, and if you have a teenage daughter, get it for her too. I can't recommend this book enough.

Barbara Greenleaf has written an inspiring book for adolescents. The heroine, Jennifer is a delightful, original character. She loves animals. Hates homework. She has a difficult relationship with her high school teacher mother who is going through a divorce and a wonderful relationship with her "cool" grandmother. When she takes on increasing amounts of responsibility in her work at a pet store her self-confidence increases dramatically. As a result the people around her begin to take Jennifer seriously and even make personal sacrifices so that she can continue to be successful.

This book should be a must read for every high school student.

Barbara Greenleaf is a very skilled writer.  She makes you care about her characters from the very beginning. She adds the right amount of tension to the plot so that you cannot put the book down until you've finished. Then you think about the story for days afterward.

I was given this book by a very dear friend and I couldn't put it down until I had read it at least once.  I am now almost through it the third time.  I really believe this is a book that should or could be used in high school to let the ones of that age know what life is really all about. I have read a lot of books, but this is the most informative, educational, interesting and down right most important book I have ever read.  If I had the money I would buy a truck load of these and give them to schools if they promised to use them in a class on the mind and consciousness thinking. I give it six stars at least.  Jim

I absolutely LOVED this book. I am a 13 year old teenager, and this book practically hits anything that I can think of that I'm going to go through high school. I love how it's outright, and doesn't treat the reader as a little 6 year old that still needs tutoring, making the reader believe that the author is some incompetent soul who is still trying to decipher the adolescent mind. Hence, they won't heed its words, however true they may be. Also, this book is extremely colloquial. I think the cuss words just show how the author actually understands the reader. You wouldn't believe how many high schoolers/middle schoolers cuss (maybe even behind their parents' backs). I think that the cuss words also show how serious the author wants to communicate to the reader.
Another thing I love about this is the anecdotes and the real experiences the author's going through. In other books, they keep saying things, and not backing it up with anything. Mr. G. really understands the reader (though he touches on many extreme topics). Partially because he's been through drugs, and has basically done all those things until recently. And also partially because he doesn't want his child to become the same as he did. I really love the way this guy writes.

The book Go Ask Alice was written under an anonymous author.  The book was a girl's diary that was later published by her family.  The book was about a girls expeirience with drugs and common teenage hardships.  It is written in a diary format.  The book takes you through all of her experiences, choices, and feelings as she drifts through her life.  This book is powerful and true.  There is a lot of feeling from this girl that triggers feelings in the reader.  The book has slight dramatic irony which keeps you unable to put the book down.  It is influencial and creative.  Every freshmen in high school should have to read this book because it is the age when a lot of choices get placed on teenagers.  This book can also be related to adults too.  It helped me make decisions as to how to direct my life.  I rate this book five stars.  Not only is it written well, an easy read, and informational; it is also powerful and a true depiction of what could happen.  These features are what makes Go Ask Alice even more unique.
