Review # 1 was written on 2008-11-01 00:00:00 Peter Robertson I’m in pre-spring cleaning mode . . . and part of that is trying to declutter my book collection. I have many books that I bought when I was a teenager that I’m not likely to really read again. And since they have a “previously enjoyed” section at our local LDS bookstore, I’m trundling off a few to places where they will be enjoyed again! :) Part of this decluttering process involves me re-reading all of the books that I’m considering giving up . . . just to make ABSOLUTELY sure that I want to part with them! :lol: Last month I read 2 such books: “Braces, Gymsuits and Early-Morning Seminary” (Joni Winn) and “Dating: No Guts, No Glory” (Joni Winn Hilton) The first one uses a fictional character, Louisa, to give advice to teens (especially teen girls). Some of the myths she debunks are “everybody’s looking at me”, and “if it isn’t easy, forget it”. Using the vehicle of a fictional character to present life lessons is a good one . . . the book doesn’t come off as overly preachy. That said, it lacks a certain cohesiveness because there’s no story line. I’m not sure whether or not to call this fiction or not! The second book is the continuing story of Louisa, though this time told through an actual storyline which made it easier to follow. Yet, it still takes the premise of being an advise book . . . this time on how to know true love from infatuation and the like. All in all, I liked the books. “Dating” was by far the better of the 2 in my opinion, and not just because of the fact that it was easier to follow. I did not agree with some of the inferences (well and right out statements) she made with regards to the Word of Wisdom. But I have to bite my tongue and remember that this is her opinion, not doctrine! ;)

Review # 2 was written on 2009-03-07 00:00:00 Brett Forrester EVERY MORMAN TEENAGER (girls will like it more than guys but so what) SHOULD HAVE THIS BOOK!!!! It covers everything from dating, to the kinds of things people eat, makeup, smoking, all those regular teen issues. And the lady is really funny! Also she wrote a book called "Dating: No guts, no glory" which is equally as good, although it is geared more towards the older teens (I mean obviously)
