Summary: Doesn't Ring Quite True
Comment: When I first heard of Kathy Dobie's memoir, I was very interested as it seemed we had alot in common. Instead, almost the entire time I was reading the book, I had the feeling she was holding back. For instance, she never quite defined the relationship she had with her parents. Whenever she would say something that could be construed as critical towards any family member, she would follow it up with three or four positive statements about them. Parts of the books seemed a bit made up to me, or perhaps she just didn't tap into her feelings very well. If you read quickly, this book may be worth the time. If you need to be more selective - I would go with Jennifer Lauck's Blackbird: A Childhood Lost and Found.

Summary: Painful coming-of-age memoir
Comment: Yowtch, this is a tough memoir. The author was the oldest girl in a large Catholic family, and she yearned for the bad boys. Learning early that she had something they wanted, she was soon playing fast and loose, getting the attention she craved in the worst way possible: allowing herself to be seen simply as a sexual object.
Then things went from bad to worse and she ended up as the only girl in the car, the victim of a gang rape. Fortunately for Dobie, she found redemption in the world of literature and of writing and now shares her experiences and the wisdom she gained with her reading public.
Not great, but worthy of being read by a wide audience.

Summary: chicks
Comment: The last time I checked there wasn't any girl in my car and so I had to read this book so there would be a girl in my car and I would know what to do if it ever happened. This book should be a lesson to all teen chicks. While Jimmy may be a babe he sucks in the sack and she's only using him to be cool and get a free ride. Why do you need Jimmy to buy you roses and make you happy?
Jimmy is a loser, dump him.
