Summary: I Love the new Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul!
Review: Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Tough Stuff was a book I feel all teenagers and for that matter adults should read. It really touched me. At times I cried, and at times I laughed. This book really touched home. It reminded me that no matter how bad my day was, there is someone that has gone through the same thing and maybe worse things that same day. I have all the Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul books and this is my favorite.I hope others can recieve that same joy I recieved from it. This book like the others will serve as a devotional for me. Each story has some meaning or lesson that will touch home.

Summary: Canned soup heavy on the gristle, schmaltz, and seasonings
Review: I suspect most of these books are bought for teens by adults who have somehow managed to overlook the scores of much better written (and edited), more authentic, and infinitely more compelling works of literature available for the young audience.
It's hard to take the stories in this book seriously, especially when the italics note that some have been "adapted" (meaning...what?) The formula is simple: if you read a paragraph in which a person is described in glowing terms, within the next few paragraphs that person will suffer a horrible or untimely fate. The canned lesson the reader is supposed to derive from this is, um, to be kind to others? Live life to the fullest? Appreciate your friends before they die? Don't beat up your baby brother? On the other hand, you don't want to be TOO good or you will seal your fate: within moments, you will be the teen who dies under your best friend's truck (some friend) or overdoses the night before graduation.
As a mother of four (including two teens, one of whom received this book as a gift) I find this dumbed-down pap to be completely unpalatable. Perhaps children who've been reared on a steady diet of video games, fast food, and MTV can't digest anything more substantial, and I pity them.
Parents and other adults who are considering buying this book for a troubled teen: this book isn't going to fix your wayward child, but will just reveal your obvious inability to deal with him/her on a one-to-one basis. Instead of relying on the soup, maybe you should try a little harder to find your own voice.

Summary: Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Tough Stuff
Review: I thought this was an excellent book. It talks about true stories that happened to people. It makes people feel better to know that other people out there are going through and dealing with the same situations. It makes people realize how good their life really is, and also how bad it could be. I would recommend this book to anyone, no matter what types of books they liked.

Summary: Better than a bowl of chicken soup
Review: Just like all of the other amazing Chicken Soup books, this one is full of "feel-good" stories that will make your feel all warm inside, as if you were eating a hot bowl of chicken soup. The stories in this book are focused on the tough stuff that teenages go through, and I'm sure any teenager can relate to this book in one way or another. It gives young adults inspiration, and is a wonderful collection of stories that will touch your heart and warm your soul.

Summary: Moving and Emotional
Review: My mom bought this book for my sister, and me. I took more of a liking to it. The book covers a variety of topics... from losing a family member... to standing up for yourself in a tough situation. The stories bring out so many emotions in you. You'll either end up laughing, crying, smiling. Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul is a great page-turned, and it's hard to put the book down. In each story you get wrapped up in the situation, and it's hard to keep your mind off of it. You get a sense of what the writer was feeling during their situation. This book is definitely moving and emotional. I also recommend "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life: A Little Book of Wisdom" by Taro Gold. Excellent.

Summary: Tanazia & Madeline
Review: The book I'm about to rate is Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. I rate this book 5 stars. The reason why I rate it like that is because it's a very good book. It talks about teenagers going through hard times. If you read this book you can probably relate to it. The book is mostly about hard times in life that people go through. There are some stories that talk about loved ones dying and trying to get over the death. There are some love stories about teenagers and their problems with love. Some stories are heartbreaking and can make you cry. You know how some teens in school do drugs and they end up thinking they are smart enough to do it, it talks about it in the book. Some teens have parent abuse going on in their life and end up killing themselves cause of it. This book is also base on the fact that some teens can't defend themselves on any type of abuse. This is a book that helped past teens that had the same situation. Now today's teens need the help of this book to get them throuhout their lives. Some teens have problems with alcohol. And the other half of the teens have problems with their own best friends. On the back of this book they give you phone numbers and address to get the help they deserve.
