 Touching Lifechanging Stories May 23, 2004

After reading the book, I felt that it was very touching and it conveys to us some of the problems teens face. It gives us a sense that we are not the only ones who face problems but it is quite common around the world. There are a variety of incidents which teens experience throughout the book such as love, friendships, backstabbing, and more sensitive subjects of death. This book has opened my eyes to some of the more serious problems which other teens face and has taught me to be thankful that my problems aren't as serious. This book not only was a source of entertainment, yet it also taught me to look at things from a different perspective. Although I have learned a lot from this book, I feel that some of the stories weren't that descriptive and I wasn't that absorbed into it. While reading some of the stories, were quite boring and I got tired of reading it. My favorite stories in the book would probably be the ones concerning friendship and love. This is because I am quite curious of what problems other teens face. I felt that those stories were quite touching and I was quite stunned with some of their experiences. All in all, this book is suitable for all teens and is a book which may be remembered forever.
 Outside book review March 3, 2004

This book is full of life altering stories. This book helps teen's know that they are not alone in all of their doubts and problems. There are stories of real life events, such as first loves, kisses, and first experiences. There are stories of best friends, and worst foes. These stories help a teen with their everyday trials and tribulations. This book shows that teenagers are not alone in the every day problems that they are associated with. The teen's of today believe that they are the only one's that have these problems, and once they read this book they see that other people have these problems too, and they dont feel like they are alone in the world, and they feel comforted in the things they read in the book because it helps them feel more comfortable with themselves, and their insecurities. That's why i chose this book, because it helps all teen's with everyday problems. This book in my opinion deserves 5 stars.
Take a big bite out of the chocolate of life... April 11, 2002
What a heart-warming collection of true-life stories, telling of teenage angst and triumphs.When you just think that it only happens to you, a group of women is marching toward you and handing you their own young experiences to test for size. And then you know that you are not alone. From the unattractive girl who's come to accept that she's "pretty enough," and the girl expressing her individuality with a belly-button ring, to the teenager who's made it to Europe on her own, or the one who gave her only coat to a friend, Chocolate for a Teen's Soul is filled with inspiring stories that help poke fun at ourselves while preserving the power of lesson learned.
