Customer Reviews

A good little book
This book is like a slightly dumbed down version of "The dangerous book for boys" I would say that it is aimed at a slightly younger market and is undoubtably good at what it does. Some of the stuff in it is just plain silly, great for the average 8 year old who after reading the page will turn to you and state very earnestly " I can climb a palm tree now". A fun book,not sure how practical the advice given in it is as most of it is never likely to get used.

The Boys' Book: How to Be the Best at Everything
I found this book great! I read through it all the time and have now read every page at least twice! I had never thought of annoying my sister using such cunning ways. I can't wait to teach a Parakeet to talk, hypnotize a chicken and to trick people into thinking I've lost my head. This book is fantastic for children and teenagers!

Tim McGrath
A great little book for boys and probably one that should be given to all boys, but please keep it in context. it is a book for boys not adults. An adult upon receiving it will smile gracuiously and wonder why on earth you have given him a boys book!

Highly recommended for ages 15 and under
