A must have for any guy.

I have to say that I never take the time to write reviews but I feel compelled to write one about this. I bought this book just because the cover looked kind of cool and planned to read it in my spare time. It just so happened that 2 hours after I bought the book, I ended up in the emergency room and then a 2 day hospital stay. I had T.V., my Mac, my cellphone and this book. You guessed it! I kept putting down all of my high priced gadgets and this book was very hard to put down. I can't wait to get home and try all of the neat tricks in this book. Again.... FANTASTIC!!!!
Not for kids
By A3Q66HRX1QLYEF on 2007-11-11
I'm giving this book a one-star review because Amazon has it grouped in with other books for kids like The Dangerous Book for Boys.
This book IS NOT FOR KIDS! Because it contains some racist, sexist, and homophobic humor, it should be classified as humor or satire.
Not a kids book

Oh gosh, I got bamboozled by the book cover and bought it for my 8 year old nephew. It wasn't long before I got a blistering phone call from his grandmother. But I have to say that his teen cousins, boys and girls, got a huge kick out of the book. At least it made them read. Now I'll buy the related books for them. Oh, and Grandma is cool with it too, now that she read it.
Very funny and useful

This book is very funny and it looks so cool, it seems like a book from the 1950's. I bought it for my brother and it is so funny that I was laughing all the time. I think the person who said it's racist read another book! My brother thinks it is cool, so it was a neat gift.
Excellent REad

For all those who have issues with the book, learn to use the search inside feature that amazon has. Or just open the book up before giving it to someone. Personally, I found it to be a good read, and rather informative for the next time I need to make a citizens arrest, judge time of death by body temperature, or I need an interesting way to entertain in a dull situation. Once I started to read through the book, I found it rather difficult to put it down. A must have book for any man.
- great book!!!

Ibought one book for one of my boys for Christmas. Read though it, and immediatly turned around and bought one for the other 3 as well as a good friend! (my husband feels cheated)!! It's really a fun book for boys/guys. Not for young boys!
- Not for boys

For starters, this isn't for boys. Any parent or friend looking for a book for a kid, along the lines of the vastly superior Dangerous Book for Boys, will pass along a nasty substitute if they give this book.
Its really more for college age adults. Any older than that finding it amusing, and they probably had a lobotomy. Any younger, and they'll need one when they're done.
Hide it in the trash. Its an insult to trash, but that's what trash is for.
- NOT for BOYS!!!
By AVT1GRX2V9ZZI on 2008-07-01
This book is NOT for boys. Topics include:
- How to cure a hangover.
- How to judge a woman's bra size.
- Beer games.
Most of the book has some really neat things boys would enjoy. But a few pages of bad content make it a no sale -- just like a few tablespoons of poop make the entire batch of brownies worthless.
Parents, be parents. Pick another book.
With respect...
- A 1920's book & never updated!
By A3NLL10LVXXYBE on 2008-01-07
This book is so outdated both in content, topics & graphics that I returned it which my grandson agreed to.
- Not for a "boy".
By A1ZADTD68PC83X on 2008-04-16
To me "boy" implies some male under the teenage years. This book is by no means, at times, appropriate for any boy less than 15 or so, however at other times it is fine for someone much younger. This makes for an unfortunate mix or ideas.
