Summary: "The funny, touching story of a boy with problems."
Comment: After moving to Long Island, New York, from Jersey City, 13-year-old Tony Miglione tries to cope with a new life--new friends (like shoplifting Joel), new feelings (like for Joel's older sister, who un/dresses in front of her window, thus explaining the binocular cover), and virtually new parents (his mother especially, who's become a social climber ever since the family's sudden wealth)--though Tony doesn't cope very well, seeing as how he later develops an ulcer.
Even though "Then Again, Maybe I Won't" isn't one of my favorites by Blume, it's still very good. In fact, I have yet to come across a book by her (either for adults or children) that I don't like. This one is more for preteen boys (age 10 - 14), but I'd still recommend it to Blume fans, regardless of age/gender.

Summary: Then Again, Blume ROCKS once more
Comment: Blume's books are so realistic. She has not written anything that is not if anything, honest. She is brutal in bringing the truth of what these characters think, feel, and desire to the page. She is wonderful and so is this book.

Summary: Nicely written.
Comment: There are hundreds of stories about coming of age. But most are told in the female perspective. Judy Blume's Then Again, Maybe I won't, is written in the male perspective. This is a nice changein young adult literature. Tony is a typical boy who lives in a suburb and his life is pretty normal. That is until his father invents some type of electrical circuit which gets his family extremely rich. Tony and his family move to a rich, classy neighborhood. There, he realizes how money changes people. He also makes a friend who has a terrible shoplifting habit. Should Tony tell someone? Tony also is growing up. The one flaw to the story was the ending. But, as far as YA fiction goes, it is well-done.
