Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-09 00:00:00 Jehovana Zepeda Interesting views of special rooms and their memories by 18 different authors. "The Teen-age Bedroom" by Linda Barry has to be one of the funniest and truest rants of a teen-age boy who just wants his Mom to leave him alone that I've ever read. A good pick up and put down book for those in between time periods when you just need to read something, but don't have enough time to get involved.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-06-09 00:00:00 Michael Bujanda Interesting collection. My favorite essays were incredibly powerful and many essays introduced me to writers I wasn't aware of, writers I want to read more of. Karen Karbo's 'The Dining Room" is one of several stand-outs, partly for the style - written in second person, present tense - and for its emotional impact. It's also funny, and insightful. Here's one excerpt from her writing, that rang so true, and universal: "If you were either a child or an adult, you would notice that she [her mother] is not right. But you are seventeen, and only have eyes for yourself."
