 Aweful for kids September 26, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a terrible book for kids or adults. It is not at all approiate for kids and as an adult I would not read one chapter. It also does not lead you to think it will be as bad by the cover so a good lesson that you "can't judge a book by it's cover" and in this book that is so true. Parents if you are going to buy this book read it before you let your kids.

Selling sex to kids- that's all that this irresponsible author is doing. Don't waste your money, or your kid's brain cells.
The literary equivalent of the all-twinkie diet August 17, 2008

A perfect book for morons destined to drop out of school at 15 stoned and pregnant. If that's your aspiration for your kids, by all means buy this book for them. This book has no redeeming value what-so-ever; I tossed our copy (I'm ashamed that I didn't look more closely when my daughter bought it) in the recycling bin after my daughter came to me suggesting that, perhaps, it wasn't appropriate for her. She was right. It's not appropriate for anyone. It is trash.
Awful. July 18, 2008

Lauren Myracle, ttyl (Amulet, 2004)
When I first heard about this book, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The very idea of an entire book written in chatspeak offended me. So I had to take a look and see if it was really as awful as I feared.
"it gets worse. cuz then rob strolls up, and i was like, 'sounds like u had a good time saturday nite. u could have called me, u know.' and tonnie goes, 'he wanted to, but i told him not to.' i said, 'oh yeah, sure,' and rob said, 'really, angie, i was punching in your number and everything, and tonnie said to bag it. She said it would just bum u out to know that we were having such a blast without you.'"
(p. 45)
What really gets me is that in school libraries across the nation, people are challenging excellent books like And Tango Makes Three for "promoting" homosexuality or Whale Talk from "promoting" bad language. No one's going after ttyl for promoting chatspeak. We have some really messed-up priorities in this country when people are completely comfortable with horning in on someone else's philosophy, but couldn't care less about their literacy. (zero)
 Missing something, but still awesome July 15, 2008

I loved the book although a bunch of the details were left such as the girls day to day to life seeing as they only talk in instant message form which was a breathe of fresh air if you ask me. Its about Angela, Maddie, and Zoe and their dramas of 10th grade life. Angela's drama is boy related and she needs a little soyjoy! haha! Maddie has it worst with her drunken partying. And then Zoe's drama including a religious sex crazed teacher is just plain creepy. Still a lot of fun to read!
