Customer Reviews

Some good, some not so good
This book is interesting in that some of the questions really can provoke some interesting and lively debate and discussion particularly on those occasions when teenagers don't feel like talking! But having tested out other questions with family members the general opinion was that some are a bit too dumb or whacky for people to even bother gracing with a response, however, all in all it's a good little resource that shouldn't be overlooked.

This book is EXCELLENT. A must have for those who work with young people.
I am a part time youth worker working only 6 hrs a week. I sometimes find it hard to get conversations started within a group, especially when working with new groups or whilst out on detached. This book has turned this problem around, and if I am struggling for conversation I refer to the book and within no time I find that the ice has been broken. Not only does it work on young people, it works when working with any age group. I once had it with me whilst at my full time job, and during my break I was looking at the book. I read a few out to the person sat next to me, and the next thing I knew the entire office (20+ people aged 18 to 55) were captivated. Some of the discussions that I have had with the groups of young people I work with have been brilliant as well as amusing. The book has also given me the opportunity to gain an incite into how individuals think and also take basic communication to the next level. I would strongly recommend this book to any person that works with young people.

A must have for any youth pastor, director or worker!
I purchased this book to use with my combined youth group of 7th to 12th graders. It is by far one of the best resources I have purchased. This book poses questions would you rather a or b and then the kids are to respond and tell why. This is the one book that consistently gets my youth talking. The discussion varies each time due to the various youth that are at an event. We have gotten off track on a number of questions due to the responses and then the youth wanting to respond to that etc. I recently lost my copy and will be purchasing a new one soon.
