Title: An easy, interesting read, but ultimately shallow
Review: How to avoid spoiling kids is an important subject for parents of teenagers who have the means to provide their kids with a comfortable life. Unfortunately, this book doesn't really provide much insight into the situation. It's full of contradictions and doesn't help you understand how to walk the line between caring and indulging.Many of the excerpts from real interviews with teens seem manipulative, with quotes selected to prove the current point the author wants to prove (which changes according to the chapter). What's lacking is any real context or analysis of the quoted teen's situation.Ultimately the book provides some food for thought, and can be read in a few hours, but it's irritatingly simplistic.
Is the review positive or negative?
