- not not not for kids
Unless you want to teach your kid how to judge a woman's bra size, steer clear of this. Like a fool, I judged the book by its cover (and it's title) and ended up with this absolute garbage. However, this book is indeed for boys. If by boy you mean immature man.

- This book is NOT appropriate for children
I purchased this for my 8 yr old grandsons to stash in the camper, thinking there would be some cool things for them to do outdoors. I was shocked to find that most of the "activities" were NOT geared for children. Like, "How to Tell a Woman's Bra Size". There is crude humor and "magic tricks" that are definitely adult oriented. I would truly question the word "boy" on the title of this book, but then, I have known several 24 yr old boys for this would be perfect. Please do not purchase this for ... Read More

- Most parts okay for younger boys, just be careful
My son received this book as a gift for his tenth birthday, and for the most part it is okay. There are fantastic ideas, such as How to count to ten in Cuneiform, or How to Skip Stones, How To Lay Bricks etc. But there are other things that should be reserved for a little bit older boys, such as the suggestion on how to deal with door to door proselytizers by showing them photos of autopsies, gun suicides, and pornographic photos (including horse pornography)

- NOT for BOYS!!!
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...
Rating: - 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.
