mtnmama 's review for:

Lost in Transition: The Dark Side of Emerging Adulthood by Kari Christoffersen, Hilary Davidson, Christian Smith

4.0

---

Although the writing style can be somewhat dry and academic, the issues that the researchers have study are fascinating and worth reading about. The book addresses the attitudes of emerging adults, ages 18-22, on a variety of topics from morality to consumerism to substance use, sexuality, and political involvement. The conclusion raises some concerns about ability of this group to make informed, positive choices in these areas.
