review 1: I didn't realize when I began the book that it was a Ya. since I am 74, it wasn't exactly my style, but I think it might be beneficial for a person who needs to get in contact with reality. It focused on a few common young people type problems such as getting a bad reputation by association, showing loyalty to an absurd level, being in love with two people at the same time etc. I was just sure it was going to have the pat "happy" ending, but it surprised me. It was rather repetitious, sort of the way a young person will go over and over something in her/his mind, never breaking a new idea which might be a solution. I guess I could sum it up by saying it was about the constant, lifelong conflicts of doing what we want to do at that minute and putting away the de... moresire.
