211 Things a Bright Boy Can Do

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) I am normally a *very* open minded liberal mom , (I found it hilarious, and will be trying it myself!) but this went over the line for a 10 year old.

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!

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.

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!!!!
