Book Review of The Overachievers : The Secret Lives of Driven Kids

The Overachievers : The Secret Lives of Driven Kids
reviewed Excellent, but scary on + 3 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


This is an excellent book but it scares me to think that our nation's high schools have gotten so competitive. Robbins pulls you in to the lives of several teenagers in their junior and senior years. You get attached right away to Julie, Audrey, Sam, Taylor and AP Frank. I didn't study enough in high school, but I'm glad I wasn't on this end of the spectrum.
