Format:Paperback
I bought this a present for a teenage boy. It got passed around at a family gathering so I have feedback from across the age range.
The first point is that this book can be viewed in two distinct ways.
Firstly it is a bit of fun for teenagers (more the 13-16 range than the 16-20 group) for male and female alike.
The second group are those 35 and up that talk about what they wanted to do in their youth but didn't have a chance.
The price is a give away and the "look inside" tells you everything you need to know.
In summary: Good book - ideal present for an early teen or perhaps for their parents to get them making a fool of themselves talking about what could have been.

Format:Paperback
I bought this book for my 15 and a half year old son - he didnt comment when he opened it(non-communicative at the best of times) so I assumed it was another send to the charity shop in January books ..... but he has read it and it has sat in the toilet where his sister (aged 12) has also been reading it so it is a success! Its short snappy chapters are perfect for teenagers with limited attention spans!!
Format:Paperback
My neice is always saying that she is bored, this is a christmas gift and I have looked through it there are things like grow something and eat it! or a time capsule, and other good ideas for teenagers to keep out of trouble but at the same time enjoy themselves.

Entertaining for an 11 year old
This book was recommended in my daughter's MIZZ magazine and she wanted it for Christmas. It is quite fun and easy to read as the chapters are short. Read more

very disappointing
I got this after reading the reviews as having a 14year old and 11year old thought it would be perfect. The oldest (boy) browsed through it but found it boring. Read more

Good, but not great.
It was a funny read, but sometimes, I was sat there thinking that they just sat there talking and waiting for something decent to come out, so overall, I paid attention to abrout... Read more

Ranges from good to better....
Perfect book for all teenagers, how to turn boredom into mayhem. The only thing that lets it down would be the presentation, pages are quite messy. Read more

Only a stocking filler
The content of this book is interesting enough but the quality of the paper the book is printed on is very poor therefore does not entice you to actually read the book. Read more
