Book Overview
John Nikkah asked one simple question: What do the boys think? From the best-selling Ophelia Speaks to the "girl power" movement, teenage girls are speaking their minds and having their due. But what about the boys? Aside from the works of a few academics, there seems to be no outlet in today's media for the true voices of teen-age boys. Until now.

A good book, which has something written by me in it...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Well, the book finally came out and I picked up a copy of it. All in all, I think it's a pretty good book. It's nice to see writings by boys my age in the midst of all of today's pop-culture "girl power" nonsense. Anyway, one of the writings in this book is by me.."My Perfect Wish" on page 141, I believe. So if you read this and have the book, check it out. Anyway..all in all, the book came out well.
Fascinating Read

This was incredibly pentetrating look into the minds and soul of young men. Putting this book down was almost impossible. Reading it, I was on the verge of tears many times. This book really shed light on what growing up must feel like in this day and age. I have to say that my heart goes out to all of the boys featured in the book. I applaud the young men for having the courage to speak out.
Good for parents

As a father to two teenage boys, I got this book to help me understand them. And it did. I read the book in less than a week and was very moved by the letters I read. It also helped open up communication with my kids. I gave it to them after I read and we talked about it afterward. I strongly recommend it to parents.
Brilliant

A refreshing alternative to the oft-sloppy, pop-psychological scrutiny our country's young men have been subject to in the past few years.
