Tough Topics: people consider suicide, love, life, sorrow.
Over the last few weeks I’ve been reading Chicken Noodle Soup for the Teenage Soul. In this book there are no story lines or characters there are only stories of people’s love, life and family. My favorite was a poem called “Listen” by an anonymous writer. I liked it, because it was about someone who had a friend who would only give them advice when they asked them to listen. My least favorite was a poem called “Mamma’s Hands” by another anonymous writer. I did not like it, because it was comparing two women’s hands, rich, and poor.
Teenagers who need a good read or just some advice should consider this book. This book offers advice and guidance. These poems and stories inspired me and helped me understand the other ways of life. In the section on love and kindness I feel that’s more like a thing for girls, but family and wellness is more for boys and girls. There isn’t really a section for boys in this book, it’s all mainly for girls, I think.
I would give this book a 4, because I didn’t like all of the other sections besides love and kindness. This section had some great stories and some great poems as well. Another reason I give this book a four is because it didn’t have chapters or any storylines you had to
follow. This book is easy to read. |
