  Helpful for older high schoolers  4
  
This book is well written for high school juniors and seniors; it is Biblically sound teaching.

  amazing book  5
  
You cannot beat this book for a teen or twenty something who needs advice for getting on the right track. While James Dobson is a traditional religious writer I feel that this book is down to earth enough to appeal to the intended age group. It is not judgemental. It just explains the benefits of making good choices. It also gives the information necessary to make good choices. It is so harsh that it would turn off a person who may not be as religious as the usualy Dobson reader. Excellent reading and excellent advice. Could also be useful for older readers as well.

  Must Have  5
  
I read this book twelve years ago as a teenager and have bought it for others since; it is a must-have for all teenagers and young adults. It is very easy to digest and devour even for the reluctant teenage reader.

  Perhaps too practical  3
  
I am a 19 year old seeking guidance on how to become a successful and trusting Christian. I certainly did enjoy reading Dr. Dobson's valuable insight, but I felt that "Life on the Edge" was rather short on bible verses and teachings to back it all up. For example, whenever Dr. Dobson describes something as a sin, such as living with a partner before marriage, he ought to prove it by use of the Bible. Nevertheless, the psychological teachings and advice makes the book worth a read. :)

  Bigotry  1
  
This book has lots of good advice for those navigating the college years. However, this book is homophobic, and therefore, I must give it a poor rating. Preaching hate is not what I want to find in a Christian book. The book offers bad advice on how to treat homosexuals, and has no advice for homosexuals reading the book.
