Format:Hardcover
I must admit that when I bought this book it was to qualify for free delivery. However, it is probably the best book I have read in a very long time. The instruction provided is just fantastic for boys of any age. (I'm 37.) I could not put it down. Its simple, informative style has given me the (probably misplaced) confidence to try to do some unusual, crazy things. Having read this book I now feel more self confident and cannot wait to train my first parrot, fly my first helicopter, and (re)start to annoy my siblings in ways I previously could not imagine.
An excellent read which I would recommend to everyone (except girls, obviously).

This book is like a slightly dumbed down version of "The dangerous book for boys" I would say that it is aimed at a slightly younger market and is undoubtably good at what it does. Some of the stuff in it is just plain silly, great for the average 8 year old who after reading the page will turn to you and state very earnestly " I can climb a palm tree now". A fun book,not sure how practical the advice given in it is as most of it is never likely to get used.

They say curiosity killed the cat, I will add satisfaction bought it back. I was glad I purchased this book out of pure curiosity, I have now purchased four more as Christmas presents for other male members of my family. I found myself being taken back to a childhood with my brothers who seemed to know every thing and the hero's of my youth. So much to learn that both genders would enjoy this knowledge packed read. I know all little boys and girls will want to put all the new advise to practise, go buy for the little man or woman in your life they will be total engrossed. I am off to hypnotise a chicken!!!
