Series: Six-Word Memoirs
As expected from a book compiling 6-word memoirs from teens, many of the results were intensely emotional, melodramatic and self-important, with the occasional humour. It was a quick read with few gems, and not all that interesting to me.
This was a lovely little capsule of teen reality. There are six word memoirs in here that made my eyes fill with tears as well as those that made me snort with laughter. It's amazing what a person can pack into six words. I think that this should be in every middle and high school library.
A collection of six-word memoirs written by teenagers. It took about 40 minutes to read the whole thing, and it was a lot of fun.
I can't believe how hooked I am on these short books. My six word review: Read, Relate, Reduce, Wish for more.
