High School, a rite of passage for all American teenagers, can be a daunting experience. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little help along the way? George Tecce, known as The Chief, takes a hiatus from his collegiate adventures to help students navigate through the often daunting labyrinth with his signature oft-kilter enlightening comedy. No topic is off limits as The Chief breaks down high school for students and parents discussing such topics as bullying, prom, and the dreaded group project. Refreshingly unique and accessible, Five High School Dialogues is the perfect all-inclusive guide to high school.

Review

As the title goes, this book consists of five dialogues between George Tecce which is also known as “chief” and several students. They talk about student/teacher relationships, bullying, underage drinking, working with a group, and prom.

As I’ve said a thousand times, I am a proud dialogue reader so this book is really made for me. This story didn’t just give me things to think, but it also takes me back to my happy High School life and I am telling you, it’s magical. But it also has its downside. What is that? It made me realize how old I am now, haha.

Just like its first two books, this book also provides us not just no nonsense dialogues but with an addition of humorous remarks. I always believe that imparting knowledge and lessons is more effective with an added humor to make learning enjoyable and, for others, bearable haha. 

I can totally relate to most of the topics being mentioned here but one topic that really got into me was about working with a team. To be honest, I didn’t actually have a problem with this when I was in high school, oh well, the perks of having childhood friends slash classmates eh? I only struggled with this problem when I was in College. I’ve moved to a bigger City so it was really a struggle to work with a team which was composed of people that I am not familiar with. I wish I could have read this book sooner eh? But what’s life without a little hardship right?

I know you might be wondering where’s the other 1 star above eh? The reason behind this lies in some of the words being used in this book. As a non-native English reader, words used in the book will always be number 1 in my criteria. But fortunately for us, there’s only a few unfriendly words used in this book, so you have nothing to worry about *wink.

I may have given this book a 4 star rating, but you can never deny how I enjoyed this book. Actually, it’s my favorite of all three books *wink. Know why by reading this story now, though I recommend reading the first book, then the second before pursuing this story.

Please feel free to come back and share how you find this story eh?

PS. I want to extend my gratitude to the author, Ian Thomas Malone for being patient. I’ve read this story last February and it’s just now that I finally am able to publish it with my own self-hosted blog. Finally!

Check out my book shelf for book suggestions and recommendations!
