Boy's Guide to Girls: 30 Pointers You Won't Get From Your Parents or Friends Paperback – February 1, 2012

I purchased this book for my nephew who is painfully shy around girls. I was pleased with the the book as it is written with advice that all young gentlemen should know about treating a young woman l like a lady.I wish the book description on Amazon was a little more clear regarding the authors. I would have felt more at ease in purchasing this book. Mr. Campbell is a licensed school counselor and social worker with over 23 years of hands on experience and Mr. Hawkins is a father of two teenagers. It shows in the writing.

My 13 year old grandson said 'very helpful'. I got this for my soon to be 14 year old grandson who is 8th grade. When I saw him the next time he told me 'you know that book about girls you gave me? Very helpful!!" I was glad, and while I wasn't able to read it before giving it to him, I did read it afterward. I wanted to make sure it wasn't inappropriate in any way, and it wasn't. Written by a high school counselor it is written in a very non-threatening way. Would recommend this book for young teen boys.

My son is a very earnest type, and is very concerned about knowing the right way to handle situations...in other words what is expected of him. He is now 12, and has his first real girlfriend...more a girl friend, but moving towards something more. This book gives frank, down-to-earth discussion of issues that his friends would laugh about or make light of. It gives him some insight into what might be good ways to deal with all the issues, complexities and feelings around dealing with crushes, girls,etc. He really liked it, and so do I.

The book is fairly thin but it seemed to be age appropriate for my son who is 12 years old. I was fairly nonchalant when I gave it to him - I just said, "I got this for you. I thought there might be some interesting things in here now or when you are older." He acted a bit embarrassed but later that night he said, "Mom, where is that book you got me?". My son lost his father when he was only 9 so I'm always looking for good information that I can share in a way that doesn't make him feel weird.

I read this book prior to giving it to my 12 yr old grandson. He is shy and I am sure many of his questions will be answered here. This book also touches upon dating your best friend's ex .... some things boys have questions for and just don't know how to ask their parents, or are too embarrassed to ask.

I gave this to my very shy 13 year old son in hopes that it would help him and maybe give him some pointers. He read it in less than a week which is good. He likes to read anyways and I was hoping this would help him out. When we talked about it he said most of it was just basic common sense. He said it was probably better suited for 11 and 12 year olds. I bought it because I thought it was geared more toward 14 and 15 year olds. Without elaborating he said he found a few of the tips helpful or in the very least interesting. I asked him how he would rate it and he said 3.5 stars. He did say sometimes the book was repetitive.

I gave this to my brother who is 15 and he thought it was hilarious. Great funny gift.

My 11 year old, who I answer questions about girls pretty regularly for, began reading this right away. He seemed to enjoy it.
