Summary: All your pain are belong to us!
Comment: To put a long story short, this is a great book. At age 23, I'm out of my teens and just beginning my journey into the dullness popularly referred to as "adulthood".
I must admit to never being an aficionado of poetry, but this book I enjoyed greatly. Every time I read them, poems like "Exasperation" and "Following directions" take me right back to being 15, with all the rage, joy and pubescent angst that comes with it.
Layout-wise I have no complaints. The colors were well chosen, and the illustrations were great :-)

Summary: painfully delicious
Comment: I really loved the whole idea of the book; there is nothing like being a teenager, no matter what decade the feelings are the same. It is indeed painful..but delicious.

Summary: Go To Your Room, This Instant!
Comment: I grew out of my teen angst as I grew out of my Cure T-shirt. Where I used to get lost in poetry, now I'm lost in biros and bankstatements. Still-and I don't understand it-'The Pain Tree' is simply my favorite book. Handy-sized, softback, unassuming-and chock full of illustrated treasures!
Reading it takes me right back-in palate, in texture, in sureness of purpose-to my old bedroom, where a young me, loose-limbed and eager, hunches over an inky poem. And probably every one of the twisted illustrations (from the robot in underpants to Ms Watson's vicious spiky boots) is tacked to the bedroom wall.
Yeah, that's what it's like.
Well, I bought three copies. And I don't even know any teenagers. Not a one. But if I get to, I'll give them a copy. I will.
