Customer Reviews

Fun Stuff!

This is an excellent book for boys when they are facing the tough issues of the teen years. It is written by a guy who has been there and can really understand where they are coming from and seems to be able to write in a way that boys will find interesting and relatable.

A Wonderful Book With Real Life Q

I bought this book for my son two years ago as he was entering Middle School. As a single mom, I wanted to be able to open up the lines of communication regarding "guy stuff". This book has been wonderful! It covers everything from good grooming (thank goodness) to puberty, peer pressure to dating, and everything in between. It has been the source of many great conversations and is chocked full of real life information. Three years later and now a Freshman in High School, my son still refers to this book and its well worn pages. Highly recommend for middle school and high school boys.

For All Christian Guy Teens

I picked up my brother's book out of curiosity just to flip through it and I ended up reading most of it. Everything it said was truthful and had the influence of christian practices, but was so practical and honest. It feels great, as a christian teenage girl to know that there are guys out there who want to become better for God and for others, and they are willing to have morals and good values. I recommend this for every guy out there, the son, the brother, and the friend. Read it!

Best book ever for 15-year old boys

I gave this to my almost 15-year old with some anxiety, wondering how he would accept it. He pretty much read it cover to cover without putting it down, commenting regularly on Jason Boyett's style of humor. I thought he'd shy away from mentioning what he was reading (especially the section on the three-letter-word)but he did well at telling dad what he was thinking. What more could one ask of a book aimed at a teen-age boy?

Great book for High School Freshman Guy

This book is perfect for a high school freshman or jr hi student.The chapters are short and to the point, so guys will actually read it. The writing style is witty and easy to read. Topics cover everything from sex to how to tie a tie. The book clears up common misconceptions and helps guys learn to be themselves and not need to follow the "cool" crowd. This book gives good Christian guidelines without sounding preachy. I recommend it to any young man between 12 and 16.
