Ever seen one of those locked diaries and wished you had a key to open it. There is a voyeur in most of us. Reading this book is like being given a key to open and read nine years of personal writing-teenagers areknown to express themselves with poems, letters to self and in written journals. But just as they create these thoughts, the dairies and journals (often discovered and read by parents and siblings) get torn up or discarded.So when you have a talented author, who kept, what is essentially his earliest manuscripts, you have a historic and sociological text that is rare and valuable. This is how I found this book. There is a universal remembrance of a time and place we have all been to, The space between adolescence and adulthood.This  book moved me at times to remember my own struggles growing up. And those of all the kids in my yearbook. We all had our quirks and vulnerability. Undisclosed to others, hidden in diaries and on scraps of paper, the intensity of a phase in life vanishes as we enter the adult world. But here is a record from internet writings saved,to remind us.
