I read this book back in my jr. high years as well. After picking up and reading the "chicken soup for the teenage soul" book, I went into my library and grabbed this book off the shelves and rented it. I really liked this book a whole lot better than the teenage book. I knew my age group shouldn't be reading a book in which doesnt apply to my age, but I went ahead and read this book anyways.

This book is a complete classic and I am glad this book went down in history. This is the generalzed book for the Collection "Chicken Soups" I'm also glad that because of this book and its success, they've made other Chicken Soup books relating to other peoples lives.
