Rating: Summary: This is the best book for teenagers to read. Review: I read this book and I loved it right from the start.The think the thing I liked most about Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 2 was that it told real stories of the experiences that teenagers went through.
Rating: Summary: One of the greatest books of all time Review: I've read both of the chicken soup for the teenage soul books, and I have to agree that they are both helpful for advice. Whenever I feel down I just read a story out of one of the books and I feel a lot better. I'd like to submit a story to the publisher. If anyone knows where I can send one just e-mail me the address at fine_mixed_chic@yahoo.com
Rating: Summary: Teens must read this--it's the best!!! Review: I have read and own both CSFTTS books. They are the closest thing to asking someone about your problems, except you don't have to go through the embarrassment if you did something wrong; these people don't know you, and they have already done something wrong. I LOVE "Starlight, Star Bright". It is so beautiful and shows the courage of the girl. It, like all the other stories and poems, is amazing. Five stars is not enough for these books.

Lastly it writes about things that will touch your heart.As I said the aouthors write about things we can actually realte with. Don't you hate when you read a book that is suppose to be for kids like us, and it has all these things we have never even heard about. A sixteen year old name Jim says, "This book is a perfect book for teenagers." I feel that this boook desvers each and ever star that it recived. There is one story in peticular that I think many people have to deal with. They have to deal woth the fact that there family and friends are anorix. The story is called The Right Thing, by Kelly Garnet. What she did was very heroic and smart. She turned her friend in to the school concusler. In the end it was the right thing. This book gives you adive to get through things like that. Not only does this give advice, it also has many famous people writting in it. I was so surprised when I saw the tons of stories by famous people in it. One of the extremly famous authors are Jennifer love Hewitt. She wrote bright heart, in the first book, and a friend for life, in this one. She is from Party of Five, and I Know what you did last summer. Another famous aouthor is Andrew Keegan. He is wrote seven mintues in heaven. Andrew Keegan is from 7th hevan and Party of Five. Will friedle is from Boy meets world quotes that, Chicken Soup is "the idea of teenagers writting about there experinces to help other teenagers is brillant." Even though Will friedle is famous, me and him hsve the same ideas for a great book. Like I said this book has things that will touch your heart. The stories about growing up and becoming older is perfect things that teenagers need to read. I lolay reader named Scott Vickaryous states that, "the stories in this book are amazingly touching. It is great to see a book that acts like a friend." I really agree with that. I swear that this book is the most touching book that I EVER read. One of the stories that really touched me was Hopscotch and Tears. It touch because I could feel what the poor girl in the story was feeling. It really made yuo feel for her. Even though I feel this is a perfect book, others do diagree. Many adults feel that the stories in the book are to grown-up for kids our age. The might feel that the love stories and all these topics strongly talked about, are just to much for us. I personally feel that this book has not one flaw. This book is really the best. It has topics that I can relate to. Also has many famous authors writting in it. Lastly really has stories that touch your heart, and open your eyes. You really have to get your hands on a copy of this book. You have got to read this book. If you read this book, you will be amazed.
Rating: Summary: It's what really happens Review: This book is really good and I think that everone should read it but it also is very sad some of the storys in it are about how they lost a loved one or how there fighting some kind of illness. I think that teens should be reqired to read it to tell you whay life is really like.
Rating: Summary: GREAT BOOK FOR TEENS!!!!! Review: Dear Teenager, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II is an excellent book for teenagers. This book is one that makes you feel better, just like chicken soup does. This book is an inspirational and motivational book for teens, and has many stories about life, love, and dealing with all sorts of problems. It has many different sections, which all have a bunch of stories pertaining to them. Chicken Soup is a very well written book. It is also very helpful for teenagers who are going through tough times. Chicken Soup is a book that is very touching for not only teens, but all other people too. The book Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II is a book that is well written. This book was a New York Times bestseller, for over four months. The amazon customer review was five stars. I loved this book so much, that if it was up to me, I would have given it a million stars! Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II has sold over three million copies world-wide! I personally like this book because I like being able to hear everybody's opinion. Teenage actor Will Friedle from "Boy Meets World" said "The idea of teenagers writing about their experiences to help other teenagers is brilliant!" Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II is a book that is helpful for struggling teens. One reader, after reading some of the stories, commented "It is nice to know you are not alone." In times of need, this book has come through for many. I have a friend, who after reading this book, lost all thoughts of committing suicide or anorexia. This book showed her that other people, around the same age as her, had gone through similar things and had all found better ways to deal with them. After reading it, she dealt with her situations very differently. Scott Vickaryous, actor from Breaker High, said, "It is nice to know that there is a book that can almost act as a friend." Many kids have the same kind of feeling towards this book. This Chicken Soup book is very touching for all people. Chicken Soup is a large series of books. Most of these books have a certain type of people that they are meant for, or the most meaningful to. Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II is obviously meant for teens, but this is for both boys and girls. Also, I know of adults as well as kids younger then the teenage years who have enjoyed reading this book. This book is "filled with exactly the kinds of stories that all types of people want to here," as one reader put it. A guy who read this book commented that "it is nice to know what the girls are really thinking." These stories did exactly what they were supposed to, touch you right where it counts. Some of these stories made you cry, others laugh, and some just made you think. I know that it isn't only twelve year old girls that it touched, but girls and boys of all ages. Some people may say that the book Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II is not that great of a book for teenagers. Those people might say that some of the stories might not have been written as well as they could of. All I can say to that is, that this book is written by kids. When the authors of these stories wrote these, they were telling them as they saw the situation. If you really want their feelings, you are going to have to deal with the fact that some stories aren't written like professionals would have. Another bad thing that someone might say about this book is that the stories weren't as touching as the first book. First of all, that is just an opinion, and I am sure many others disagree. Second, no matter how touching the stories, you must remember that these things still happened to some teenager. I know someone whose expressed the thought "we don't want to hear about other people's problems, when we all have some of our own." My response to this one is that, if you run into a problem, doing what someone else, in this book, did you might be able to deal with it in a way you might not have thought of. The book, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II is well-written, helpful for struggling teens, and is very touching to everybody. If you read this book, your feelings towards facing the teenage world will change forever!
Rating: Summary: Just As Awesome As The First! Review: I have read both Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul books and have loved them both! I end up reading stories over and over again, learning something new each time I read it. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone who is willing to read it. Once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down!
