Writing Annie's Baby (and like books)

[Elk]

Annie's baby and It Happened to Nancy are diaries of teenager who have experianced some hard times. What do OBers think about these kind of books? I like them and think they definately offer something, but at the same time sometimes I don't believe that they tell a honest to God story. I'm not sure how to explaain that feeling. So I was wondering what people on the OB think about diaries that have been turned to books, like the ones mentioned above, or what you think specifically about the above mentioned books.

[/quote]Oh I don't know, I found the Diary of Anne Frank to be a rather powerful book. I'm sure some of them are like you say and don't tell an honest story. However I'm sure some of them actually are truthful and would be interesting to read. [/FONT]
