H.S. Survival is a fun and unique book for teens
I think High School Survival is one of the most useful and interesting books that a teenager can read.There are so many good helpful hints--I am a teenager, and I found myself relating to all the scenarios described, andreally enjoying any advice they offered.Overall, I'd say High SchoolSurvival is a great gift for a friend or yourself, and I would definitelyreccommend it.It is informative without being preachy, and there arestudent authors from all over the country, so there is probably someone whohails from wherever you live!It reads like a "Chicken Soup"book, but it is something that is helpful with solving different problemsas you are confronted with different issues, so if you have read it once,tht's not enough! I loved this book--please give it a go, you will be gladyou did!

An enlightening view on high school life.
An enlightening view on high school life. A must have for all high school students. Each chapter touches on the major aspects of high school life. What an incredible read.

Perfect for all high-schoolers of the future and present.
Amazingly honest, and straight-forward, this book is a virtual guidance counselor for all future and present high-schoolers.The charismatic authors (who are in high school themselves) present the facts both candidlyand humorously.Five stars for a very successful guide.

Boring waste of time
This book focused on two Jewish boys, and their tyrant parents. There was not one part that interested me fromt the beginning to the end. This is a colossal waste of time, and unless you are in a hospital bed, I DO NOT reccomend this book. As a student, I have other things to do than read a book that uses Jewish terms that 1% of the population understands. If you HAVE to read this for school, do yourself a favor and buy the Cliff Notes.This book drags on & on, and is WAY too descriptive. ... Read more
