This is not normally the kind of book that I read, but I was drawn in by the description. I thought it was an amazingly interesting book, so I am so glad I gave it a chance.

This was a really interesting read and provided theories for how some of the present day problems in the world are because of stubborn immaturity and a teenage outlook and mentality. In these times of social turmoil and political immaturity, the author backs this up with examples of marketing, video games, movies/TV, education, and much more that only furthers this problem. While I didn't agree with every point, this non-fiction read was quite fascinating and provided food for thought.

Adolescence is a recent idea, as the social construction of a period of time between childhood and adulthood used to be nonexistent. The author does a fantastic job exploring the history of the adolescent years, using a combination of science, philosophy, and psychology to explain how this cultural creation has resulted in actual changes in how those in the ~13-25 year age range behave and function biologically.

However, I agree with the other reviewer that there were many formatting issues and it was very hard to read the text in the given format on Kindle. Hopefully, this will be addressed before being finalized and released.

This book was very interesting from the cover and from the introduction; however, I was not able to read past the first few pages on my Kindle due to the horrible formatting. I feel like the author's ideas were valid and his writing was concise, clear, and projected a single point, but the formatting was too bad for me to continue.

CONTENTWISE, it was a good book for the few pages I read.

CONTEXT wise, the formatting is almost illegible.
