Summary: A Message To Anyone Who Might Buy My Book.
Review: I wrote this book because I have been, and continue to be, a guy. You might not agree with what I say in the book, you might not like it, but I believe in it and a lot of it comes from personal expereince - so, as far as I'm concerned, it's true. It's about girls and about spots and feeling weird and not fitting in. I'm not a medical guy, I'm a writer, so the advice is informed but personal. The kind of advice that I'd give my kids if I ever have any. I hope you might pick up a copy and maybe laugh at some of the stuff inside. My book like growing up and, as far as I can tell, like life, isn't that serious. And I think that's important. If you are a guy and if you read my book I hope that the one message that I could pass one - one guy to another - is that, no matter how you feel IT'S NEVER THAT BAD and you will look back and laugh and maybe, one day, write a book of your own. Enjoy it. I did.

Summary: a must have
Review: I'm fifteen and this book has helped me alot on a few things that I was worried about. I especially liked the section on how to ask out a girl, something that I had no clue on how to do before I read this. It has all kinds of practical advice that is a must need for guys in their teens, and girls should get a copy of this also. The author has a somewhat corny aproach, like an adult trying to be cool; but the author pulls it off through most of it, he writes in a way that makes it easy and comftorable to read without coming across like a scientist.

Summary: A book for everyone regardless of age or sex!
Review: If I had to choose only one book to give to/read with my sons, this could well be it. Not only does it cover all the REALLY cringy topics in great detail, it also explains everything clearly, in accessible language for this age group, and with HUMOUR. Catch the page on how to shave - very down-to-earth, extremely useful, and very funny. A huge portion of the book is dedicated to "Surviving Love and Sex" - judging by the amount of time pubescent boys spend fantasising on such topics, this chunk is very necessary. It also gives sensible advice on the whole deal. What makes the book so utterly readable from beginning to end? - the cool cartoon character that takes us through, cracking little asides the whole way; the changeable type face which is fun to read, grabs your attention (especially in the Very Important bits) and keeps the pages interesting; and last but not least, the information and the way it has been handled - never preachy, never dull, just practical. Brilliant. Teenage girls should be given a copy of this too.

Summary: This book is spectacular!
Review: My son has been experiencing a lot of anxiety with regard to the whole puberty/growing up thing. I reserved this book at the library (for myself) but the librarian thought it was for my son and gave it to him. He stuck his nose in the book and read the whole way home, laughing out loud (and he is not much for reading). I am now ordering him his own copy. The book is wonderfully reassuring about all of the many changes a boy's mind, body and emotions are experiencing as they make the journey from being a boy to a young man. It helps him to know that while the things that are happening to him seem strange, they are perfectly normal. I especially recommend this book to single moms! It has answered many of my own questions too and my son and I are both feeling relieved. Thanks to the author for your help and humor! This is a cool book!

Summary: Lacks depth
Review: The book is very shallow - the section on sex is one page, for example. There is no discussion of AIDS, STD's or using birth control. If you are looking for a book to begin a conversation with your teenage son, go ahead and buy it. If you are looking for a book that will discuss the many issues of teenage life (emotions, friends, sexuality, drugs) in depth - this is not the book.

Summary: review by a teen for a book to teens
Review: This is a very good book because it brings up topics that relates to teenage boys and gives them advice on how to handle some of the problems in their teenage life and answer some of the questions that have that no one will answer or that they can't find out. For example, it gives good advice on how to go on dates and what to do on them. I this book says on dates you should talk to the person you are out with and get to know them better, not to kiss or do anything bad. If you are a parent, this book tell your children to do anything bad.
