Summary: Cuts To The Chase
Comment: Leslie Ann Williams' professional, straightforward, cut-the-crap honesty is balanced beautifully by her engaging wit and humor. It's just the right mix to encourage and nurture the necessary dialogue between the often warring factions of teenagers and their parents.

Williams' greatest strength may be in the seemingly effortless skill she exhibits in holding up the invaluable "mirror of recognition" for both parent and teenager as they assess the failure or success of particular strategies in their ongoing I'm-your-parent/I'm-no-longer-a-little-kid relationship.

Especially successful in guiding the reader to a humane and intelligent disarmament of the often volative parent/teenager disagreements, Williams supplies ample praise (and often gleeful conspiratorial advice) to both parents and their teens as they work to achieve a kind of detente in the arena dedicated to the art of parenting and growing up.

Summary: I can live with this book
Comment: I acquired this book recently on the recommendation of a friend. As both a parent and a public school teacher I thought it might prove interesting and useful, and indeed this is the case. The book is a quick read and to the point, making its case (so I would guess) in a fraction of the space other books on this topic take. Highly recommended for parents of teens and pre-teens, and for teens receptive to clear thinking in an informal and direct Q and A format.
