Title: Don't waste your money
Product review: Admittedly, I would not have read this book except it was one of our book club selections. Once I started the book, I would not have finished it except it was one of our book club selections. It is a painful read - not because of the supposed trials and tribulations of a troubled teenager, but because it is an obvious fraud. I knew every word I was reading was a lie. It is an absolute insult to think anyone could honestly believe this was written by a 15 year old. Maybe unknowing adults in the 1970's would have believed there was some authenticity to the chain of events, but I think most adults would have been able to recognize the writing style is not that of a 15 year old. The words used; the expressions used; none of it is from the perspective of a 15 year old. I would think, almost 40 years later, this book would be sold for what it really is - a lousy work of fiction.
