Adulting for Beginners - Life Skills for Adult Children, Teens, High School and College Students | The Grown-up's Survival Gift (Life Skills & Survival Guides)

My 18 year old was very happy to get this on her 18th birthday. I kind of got it with the question of whether or not she would appreciate the book or even read it. Not only did she read the whole thing in one day, she recommended it to all of her friends. She said it has a lot of great information and should be a book that old young adults reading.

Bought this as a gift for my teenage grandson. He had been complaining that school doesn't prepare you for life so when I came across this book I thought it would be of interest to him. Although he doesn't normally like reading he is enjoying this book. It has also lead to some interesting discussions between him and his parents.

Bought for our boys as graduation gifts. There is a lot of good information inside!

I boughtbit thinking it would teach my daughter as she becomes an adult, but honestly we coveredalmost everything already. The benefit is that it provided her a way to validate what I had already taught her.

Gave this to my grandaughter just after HS graduation….hope she reads it

Cool book for teens. I gave it to my niece. She is very responsible already, but sure she will get something from it. Different type of grad gift.

This is a very simple book -- both in content and in layout and design. It looks like it was typed in a Word and then never formatted for a book. There are huge spaces between the lines of text (like triple spaced?) and appears like they were trying to stretch it to make it appear longer. (I used to teach English classes, and I had students make the margins larger and triple space the text so that they could make a 1 page essay meet the assignment requirement of 3 pages -- that's what this book is like visually.) If you took out all of the extra lines, the book would be a slim 75 page booklet. It has a simple only-black text design with no color or graphics, etc. The content is fine, but it's very basic and generic advice -- it's good advice, and it does cover the topics on the product listing, so it's accurate from that point of view.

This book received the stereotypical eye roll from my college student when they opened it Christmas morning. BUT after they returned to campus, I got a text — could you send that book up to me I saw some good stuff in there. (I can't think of a better endorsement)

Perfect for a young person!

Great book

This book does offer good advice and the tone of the book is neutral. This book does help cover topics that parents either don't know about or don't bother teaching. 3 stars due to formatting issues (lots of blank spaces, only having odd number of pages numbered, putting tomato on the grocery list twice, missing punctuation). Overall, decent start of how to become more independent, but shouldn't be used as the only source of information.

Good read

Perfect
