Customer Reviews

Good read for Young Adults

There were three stories I loved the best. I believe the previous reviewer named them. I read this book when it first came out since my editor, Kathleen Jackson, was the project coordinator when it was coming out. I believe it is for age groups 12-18 instead of what is listed here. Her son wrote a story in Teenage Bluez 2, got an autographed signature too.

My daughter loved this book.

She's fourteen and passed it along to her friends to read, and now they're all anticipating the release of the sequel. I'm pre-ordering it as I type this review.

The Life OF A Teen Ain't Simple

Teenage Bluez is a great collection of urban series. Each and every story has something that makes it special. Some more than others. The story is basically about teenagers who either made mistakes in life or are trying to help others not to. 5 out of the 6 stories are about females. My favorite stories are Livin In The Fast Lane, Double Whammy, and Unbroken Promises. All 3 were about girls who were mislead by deceptionate men. All the girls were left out on their own and they all learned their lesson.Unfortunately for them it would be too late. The corniest story was Phat As I Wanna Be. It was a boring story about a girl who developed some eating disorder type disease. It was a waste of time. Overall, Teenage Bluez is a great reading experience!
