A Crash Course in Teenage Survival

This book was purchased for my by my mother at some point in my life that I can't remember. I was slightly deterred from liking it because of the title, quite honestly, because I've read crash courses in teenage/high school survival and they weren't particularly helpfully unless your life is a cliche. One of the things I like about this book was that it was more relevant than I thought it would be. I appreciated the humor, even though that's completely not the point of reading books of this particular kind (it's the concept/doctrine of the book. The fact that everyone is always like, "John Bytheway? He's funny." really bugs me because, I don't believe that's the point), but I identified more with the serious tone of the book. I found a lot of the things written in it meaningful and I learned some things that I had never thought about before.
To say it was a "good book" is completely irrelevant. Any book could or could not be a "good book", but it's what you gain from it…
