Disturbing, but funny - By: Kurt A. Johnson, 19 Nov 2004
In this fascinating work, columnist W. Bruce Cameron describes the simultaneous descent of his life into chaos & his daughter's trek through the teenage years. He covers the changes in his daughter's relationships to her family & friends, her seeming loss of sanity, & her physical changes & disturbing interest in boys. The story is covered in hilarious detail, as many aspects of life in general (and life with a teenage girl in particular) are covered, & lampooned.

I must admit that I found this book somewhat disturbing. My eleven-year-old daughter & I have been reading some American Girls books together, & the thought that this loving flower will soon turn into a teenager has my blood running cold!

But seriously, this book is a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek look at the experiences of a father of a teenage girl: what he experiences, what he feels, & how he (unsuccessfully) tries to deal with it alll. It is a must-read for any father of a present or future teenager. I highly enjoyed this laugh-out-loud book, & highly recommend it to you.

Sharp, Witty and frighteningly accurate - By: Mr. J. Knight, 28 Sep 2003
If you have, or are scheduled to have a teenage daughter as we do, then buy this book. It's acutallly worth buying even if you don't/won't ever have one. Why? Simply because it's one of those wonderful books that you can either read straight, or when tired just pick up, open at a random page & (unless you have no sense of humour ) you will laugh despite the fact that you know exactly what the author is talking about.

My wife discovered & read this book first, & kept waking me up in the night because of her uncontrollable laughter. I did the same to her when I read it, but at least she understood!

Reallly good. I hope W Bruce Cameron will publish again.
