Tiger Eyes Kindle Edition

Blume is an amazing writer. I'm re-reading it before passing it to my daughter. The main character is 15 so I think some of the content might be a litthe early for her, but it's handled really well and sends good messages and an honest look at the struggles if being 15. The backdrop of the story is having recently lost her father. Inspiring.

After reading Forever I went on a bit of a Judy Blume kick, trying to find all the ones I missed that are aimed at teenagers or up (I'm not sure I'm up for an MG novel). I'm determined to figure out how to write normal life scenes this engaging. It almost seems like she could have the characters do anything and make it a fascinating read. They shower, they change their sneakers, trim toenails -- all stuff that is generally forbidden in writing guides -- and yet it works. Tiger Eyes could have been like an after school special. In fact, it probably was made into one. It's about a 15 year-old girl whose father is killed in a hold up, and she has to learn how to deal. It's not preachy. The people are just real, the friendships real, the family dynamics real. The early 80's Los Alamos setting is even interesting. There's no sex, no violence (other than the retroactively occurring murder), but there is a lot of excellent dialog.

I found the movie on Netflix and decided to watch it, but it seemed like it wasn't quite right, so I decided I had to read the book over again. I loved this book as a kid. And I'm now 40 years old, so yeah, felt a little silly buying it again, but it was worth it. The movie was pretty good, but it does stray from the book. Anyways, the book is still great after all these years. I can relate to it even more now, having lost a parent. I would definitely pass it on to future generations!!

Remembered it as a fav when I was a teenage girl and got it for my 15 year old who read it Quite fast for one who isn’t a big reader so that was my indication that she liked it too!

I am a 70 year old male and had never read Judy Blume. I read tiger eyes after hearing an interview with her on NPR where they said it was on of her best. It was.

Just as great as it was when I read it as a teen. Definitely written for adults, too. So well written with great character developement and an in-depth and engaging plot. Judy Blume still writes so wonderfully. I just re-read her Super Fudge series, as well as one if my younger sisters is reading it. Just as funny and just as engaging as the novels she wrote for teens and adults. A+++

A touching and thought provoking story about loss of a lovedOne. Each character grieves in a different way, and finds different ways to move on

Great story about a young lady dealing with death and discovery of new friendships.

I loved this book as a teenager and have enjoyed it just as much as I approach my 40’s, I’ve read the whole thing in a matter of hours this time around! I think I’ll be searching for my old Judy Blume collection.

Tiger eyes has become my favourite book. It really captures emotions Like love,loss,anger,fear And the lust for adventure. The main character's emotional story becomes more And more real as u read the book. The will to live And bravery are just astonishing.'life is a great adventure', so it is.

My daughter who is 11, is really enjoying this book

I was an avid Judy Blume reader in my teens, I loved her stories.I bought this book for my daughter, read it myself and found it utterly brilliant.Ok its not complex but I liked the simplicity and clear emotion that this book produced...Would recommend this book for all ages!!

Granddaughter delighted with her book
