twentysomething: Surviving and Thriving in the Real World (ISBN 0849944449)

Interesting book, good advice, but not life changing:
Twentysomething by Feinberg writes about the phase of your life where you move from the school world into the real world from a Christian perspective. The topic of finding one's purpose is a hot topic these days and Feinberg attempts to tackle the topic as well. The book goes through some of the issues that arise and Feinberg lets us in on a couple challenges she faced while finding her purpose. Through the book, some good advice is given (do what you love, trust God, etc) but nothing I haven't heard before. The best part of the book probably was when Feinberg talked about needing to get your validation from God, and not from the world. While this makes sense, I felt the practical application was not covered as well as it should have been, as trusting God is much easier said than done. Most people don't need to be told what to do... they need to be told how to do it, and then be given examples of what other people did. And while Feinberg does give some examples from other people, I was left unfulfilled. I was impressed with the extras that were included in the back, as those were a welcome addition. The book was also laid out really well and included some good statistics. In all, this is a good book if you are in your 20s and don't have any idea what to do with your life. Even after you read it, you still won't have any idea, but you will feel better about it. 3 out of 5 stars.

a real book for real people..:
I finished reading "twentysomething" a few days ago & it was an eye-opening/heart-felt read. I'm 23 & some of the thoughts & feelings expressed in this book have been my exact experience w/ my tenties.. thus far. Margaret is a talented writer- one who is able & capable to express her thoughts & experiences in a way.. that truly makes you feel that you've known her forever. This book is about real life experiences that are shared in hopes that they might shed some light on a kind of overwhelming stage of life. We (twentysomethings) aren't alone. God has definitely blessed Margaret w/ the gift of writing- I'm just glad she has pursued Him & that gift & in that- she has blessed at least one reader.. me.

Tips okay, skew questionable:
While this book has many great insights into the dilemas and problems faced by most twenty somethings, it has a distinct distaste for corporate america and for any careers in that area.

Loved it:
This is a must read for the confused college grad, floundering young single or even twentysomthing working man or woman. This book radically changed my outlook in this awkward life stage known as the "twentys," and it will do the same for you.

Encouraging Book for a confused 20something Christian:
This book made me realize that I'm not the only one experiencing such a drastic change (and lots of disappointment) after college. The first chapter of the book was alright, but after reading the 2nd chapter, that's when the author tackle the typical problems 20something faces. If anyone is having a tough time adjusting to being an responsible adult, figuring out he/she is suppose to do for the rest of his/her life, confused about which direction to take for career (or whatever goals one might have), this is a good book to read to get you start on the right track. The author definitely reminds the reader that God is in control no matter what, and that our twenty-something years can be a great time in our lives.
