Summary: Only A Teen Can Talk Like A Teen
Review: Having taught teenagers for many years, I've concluded it's better to deal with actual plays than books like this. Filled with a middle aged person's views of teenage language and issues. And every issue is nailed in the most obvious almost preachy manner. I think I found only one speech in the entire book my teens would find believable.

Summary: original, heavy topics, too little material, too expensive
Review: I bought this book without anyone to review it and when i received it i was beyond dissapointment. it is only 56 large-typed pages. Only 15 short monologues for each sex. As a teenage actor, i liked the fact that the topics were serious and heavy: sexual abuse, murder, substance abuse but they are kind of unrealistic to the point of not enough discomfort/sorrow can be expressed through the words. The language is a little off and i have to substitute modern words for "neat" and some other problems.
