Summary: Harlan Cohen understands this generation.
Comment: When I bought this book I didn't pay attention to who the author was. I guess the title was what caught my eye first! I have been a fan of Harlan Cohen's newspaper column and find his advice to be spot on.
The book is so full of good advice, and while much of it is focused on college life, there is a lot of useful information for any young adult moving out on their own. For example, dealing with parents after the move, the best friend/roommate situation, and sexual assault/alcohol are all topics that are relative to most independent living situations.
Cohen's format is great. Each subject includes a brief introduction to the tip/topic, followed by a slightly more lengthy story related by a college student. Then Cohen adds his own words of wisdom. The topic concludes with a brief "bottom line" summary. And scattered throughout are sidebars of statistics, facts, and quotes. The book is a wealth of knowledge on a wide variety of subjects of crucial importance for a successful college experience. And Harlan Cohen does it in his usual youth-friendly style with generous dashes of humor thrown into the mix. This book is a must have book for the high school graduate (or even sooner) and a great gift to grown kids preparing to move out and begin the next phase of their lives. 50 Ways to Leave Your Mother

Comment: This book was a gift for a great-nephew. He says he liked it. I believe him.
In college, there's a surprise around every corner...but that doesn't mean you can't be prepared! From sharing a bathroom with 40 strangers to sharing lecture notes, The Naked Roommate is your behind-the-scenes look at EVERYTHING you need to know about college (but never knew you needed to know).
This essential guide is packed with expert advice on everything from managing money and a job to managing stress and a full class load --plus hilarious, outrageous and telling stories from students on over 100 college campuses.
Learn about dorm do s, don ts and dramas, and how to deal with lying, noisy or nasty roommates (and their unwelcome guests). Don t forget dating and friend issues, too hanging out with the right kind of people will save you a lot of trouble! And though the party scene may be tempting, watch out for the mysterious fruit punch and keep an eye on your buddies, too.
The Naked Roommate is a must-have for all college students. Don t leave your parents home without it!
"If The Naked Roommate existed when I went to college, I would have devoured every page before I stepped foot on campus." -Linda J. Sax, Associate Director of the Higher Education Research Institute and Director of the CIRP Freshman Survey
