DESCRIPTION:
Four Stars Donna L Fun!. "Laugh and Enjoy" according to Pups 'n Kits. W. Bruce Cameron's books are my favorites. This is a somewhat old one that certainly exhibits his wonderful sense of humor. Most of his other works revolve around dogs in one way or another, and are tops on my list.. Warren Redlich said Good read, not spectacular. I enjoyed reading it but it was just good, not great. Mostly funny and I did like his writing style. Our daughter read it cover to cover quickly and seemed to like it, but refuses to admit it. My wife is reading it now and she also likes it.It was written at the start of the cell phone era so the material relating to phone lines in the house and cell phones is very dated.
--Richard Farr. There are helpful hints (or rather, unhelpful ones, because Cameron admits that nothing will make any difference) for coping with the telephone, clothes, parties, car you used to own, and boyfriend you don't want her to hang around with. A comic survival guide to being a parent of teenage daughters, Bruce Cameron's book started life in 1995 as a wildly, and accidentally, successful Internet column. This is definitely a bathroom browse rather than material for reading cover to cover--assuming it's possible to get into the bathroom, that is; according to the author, this is a coveted parking space for strange aliens who paint themselves for hours while dreaming of Brad Pitt.

Bruce Cameron, "Having a child mutate into a teenager is a bit like being an airline passenger who must suddenly take over for a stricken pilot and land the plane. And in this case, the passengers are all yelling, 'I hate you! I hate you!' and slamming the door to the cockpit." Cameron has two daughters, so he is doubly aware that raising teenage girls is well, impossible. (Rule #1: if you pull into my driveway and honk, you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure as heck not picking anything up.) If your little girl has moved out and a teenager has taken her place, this book will help you do something you probably thought was not possible in your situation: laugh.
