For parents who are looking for book reviews written with Teens and Preteens in mind. My kids read a LOT, and not all books(or movies, TV shows, video games etc.)are appropriate for children. I don't do much of the others, but I can read!

The Tender Bar by JR Moehringer
Well, the County Fair was really wonderful and exhausting. I finished The Tender Bar just as we finished our preparations to kick off the start of the fair, with no time to spare to write about the book. It is an interesting, fulfilling memoir. I chose it on the recommendation of Andre Agassi, and understand why he loved it so much. I haven't been to a bar in years, but if there were one in a 15 mile radius, I might have given it a try! This book may not be for teens, certainly not for kids. The bar is a main character, so, picture drinking. New York drinking. Great Gatsby drinking. Still, the "tender" in the title lets you know that this is about love and relationships, it is about family, and loss, and moving on and thinking big, and worrying bigger. Worth reading, especially for adults, but I think more of a book for those old enough to be eligible for the draft, or for one on draft.
