Book Reviews of 365 Days of Taste-Berry Inspiration for Teens

Book Review: Ugh...
Summary: 1 Stars

Let me begin by saying that I myself am a teen.

Let me continue by saying that I would not recommended this book for the vast majority of the population. Unless your IQ is below 50, you probably won't gain anything from reading it.

This is a formulaic book which consists of 365 "affirmations" (or "affies", which teens supposedly call them). The central message of each "affie" (Be a Loving Person, Take Time to be Alone, Seek Support from Others) is listed at the top of the page. It is followed by a quote from either the authors or a teen. Then comes the body, consisting of a paragraph, which elaborates on the central theme. At the bottom is a "Taste-Berry Promise", which encourages the reader to do things such as "walk an elderly neighbor's dog" or "tell a friend something he or she doesn't know about what I believe in".

Rinse and repeat 364 times. That's the whole book.

No stories of men hiking alone in the wilderness, who get attacked by mountain lions, get their legs chewed off, and have to crawl 50 miles back to civilization, just to get a beer. Now that's inspiration.

Though this book is supposedly targeted towards teens, I genuinely believe that most of us would rather spoon out our eyeballs than waste our time reading this crap. What else can you expect from a "bestselling series". Read some Aristotle instead.

Unless you are a soccer mom who needs "discussion material" for a "bible study/inpirational book club" or something else along those lines, don't waste your time or money on this lame excuse for a "book".

All in all, they had 365 pages to tell you how to cope with problems the "Taste-Berry Way". But I can do better. I can tell you how to attack your problems the "Amwidkle" way, in three words.

Deal with it.
