 Good
I was happy with the book when it finally came, though it did take awhile. My only complaint is that it was covered in dust when I opened the package.
 Awesome book!
I heard about this book & decided to put it on my gift list. Luckily, I got it. This book is a must have for any guy. There are so many things in this book that every man should know... Everything from tying knots to setting trip wires... As a dad, I can't wait to pass this knowledge on to my son. This book is very well written & is a must have for boys of all ages.
Great Book for New Dads
This is a perfect book to get for new dads. It is a really fun read as well
Good stuff to know
This was a great read. Some of the things in this book I had forgotten about. I had a wonderful time reading it with my son.
Very Good Book For Pre-Teen Boys! Highly Recommended!
We gave "The Dangerous Book for Boys" to my son (11) last year because he had friends who were reading it. It was one of the few reasonable things on his Christmas list and it seemed like a good gift for our academically minded boy who spends more time inside than outside. This was a huge hit! Not only did he love reading it, but I also really enjoyed most of the chapters as well.
The book covers many things that boys would have learned in the past from their fathers or watching people work with their hands (knot tying, Star Gazing, First Aid, etc). Since we now live in a world where many of our "masculine" skills are no longer needed, where is boy to learn this things, if not from a book like this one?
The book also includes sections on historical battles, the history of pirates, and even includes some sections on social graces and talking to girls. It really is something of an eclectic mix, but it does work out nicely.
The book itself is well made and is very good looking. It should hold up well over time.
We were happy to let our boy get his hands dirty and to stimulate his imagination! Highly recommended!
