Negative Positive
Title: Pesimism In Disguise
Review: The title of this book caught my attention, and the first couple of chapters made sense. However, I found that most of the advice offered boils down to imposing limits with the knowledged that teens are going to do whatever they want. His general approach seems to be for parents to accept what their children do instead of insisting on good behavior. His dialog is engaging and even funny at times. He doesn't offer much hope or constructive problem solving though. The cursing in the book was offensive to me as well, and that type of language would never be tolerated in our home. Acceptance of it as inevitable is unacceptable to me.
Is the review positive or negative?
