This book is amazing. You will laugh and you will cry. When you first read this book you will ask yourself was or is there a Tony Miligone at my school? Judy Blume did a really good job .I give it five stars. If there was a sequel to this book I would read it.

In a classic coming-of-age story, Judy Blume writes with all the compassion and understanding she can muster for a young boy.
A woman writing about the trials and tribulations of adolescence (including all the baddies: wet dreams and all) might seem a dangerous undertaking. Blume makes it work. This is a grand story that has you truly understanding what the protagonist is going through.
It's primarily a book for and about boys; however, a girl would do well to read this and at least start to understand what boys have to deal with.
A well-written story with well-developed characters, this book is on any number of must-read lists for teens.

After moving to Long Island, New York, from Jersey City, 13-year-old Tony Miglione tries to cope with a new life--new friends (like shoplifting Joel), new feelings (like for Joel's older sister, who un/dresses in front of her window, thus explaining the binocular cover), and virtually new parents (his mother especially, who's become a social climber ever since the family's sudden wealth)--though Tony doesn't cope very well, seeing as how he later develops an ulcer.

Even though "Then Again, Maybe I Won't" isn't one of my favorites by Blume, it's still very good. In fact, I have yet to come across a book by her (either for adults or children) that I don't like. This one is more for preteen boys (age 10 - 14), but I'd still recommend it to Blume fans, regardless of age/gender.

Blume's books are so realistic. She has not written anything that is not if anything, honest. She is brutal in bringing the truth of what these characters think, feel, and desire to the page. She is wonderful and so is this book.

There are hundreds of stories about coming of age. But most are told in the female perspective. Judy Blume's Then Again, Maybe I won't, is written in the male perspective. This is a nice changein young adult literature. Tony is a typical boy who lives in a suburb and his life is pretty normal. That is until his father invents some type of electrical circuit which gets his family extremely rich. Tony and his family move to a rich, classy neighborhood. There, he realizes how money changes people. He also makes a friend who has a terrible shoplifting habit. Should Tony tell someone? Tony also is growing up. The one flaw to the story was the ending. But, as far as YA fiction goes, it is well-done.
