The genius of this book is not in the quality of the writing or the cleverness of the story, but in that magical way that Judy Blume has of capturing the experience of being a kid. I remember reading this when I was twelve, the same age as Margaret, and feeling she was a kindred spirit in some way, ...
Judy Blume was my favorite author when I was younger. So I thought that on her birthday (February 12) I would read Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. This is a cute story of an eleven year old Margaret rushing to grow up. Reading this story I was once again swept away by Judy Blume's talent for c...
Reading this book for the first time as an adult was a little difficult, because it was kind of boring and Margaret's character was so naive and annoying. But I see its value for young readers. Margaret is relatable for the most part (except her excitement about getting her period. "I can't wait to ...
I went into this adult-re-read expecting the story to feel, I don't know, overly simplistic? Because it was written for 12-year-olds back in the 70's, I just knew this childhood favourite would now suffer my age - it would feel dated at the very least! Boy was I wrong. I closed the book amazed a...
At the time this book was written in 1970 it was important because it dealt with such issues as boys, bra buying and periods for girls facing the onset of puberty in a frank manner. It continues to maintain its popularity, but it lacks literary merit.The book is told from Margaret's point of view, ...
No Boyz Allowed!1!!!1eleven!1!!one!1!! 4 stars for my love of the book as a child.2 stars for how it reads now as an adult.= 3 star average. I was cleaning out my stuff and found this book and had a sudden urge to revisit my childhood. As a child, this was one of those books that I read over and ove...
One of My favorite childhood books, it's all about Margaret coming of age and beginning to develop from a little girl to a young woman. My mother gave this book to me when I was around the same age and I loved it. I would recommend this book to your 9-12 year old girl so she could learn what it mean...
This is one of those books I wish I have read when I was younger. It would have been meaningful when I was Margaret's age. And I find it ridiculous that it is/was on the list of Banned Books. Why? I don't see the point. Because it is about girls that are growing up? And that involves bras, period, c...
I loved this book so much as a kid. It was interesting rereading it now. One thing that startled me was something I barely noticed when I was younger: Margaret gets very angry at God at one point, and decides she's not talking to him any more. She thinks he's been mean to her, and she's hitting back...
