《The Dangerous Book for Boys》


《The Dangerous Book for Boys》(Hardcover)by Conn Iggulden (Author), Hal Iggulden (Author)

I bought this book for my friend's son who joins the secondary school this year, hoping that he can ba a charming young lad as he grown up.

However, by accident, his Uncle bpught him this book as Christmas Present as well, and so this book end up on my shelf and I am reading it!! So, if anybody like to have it, let me know and see if you have the potential to be a charming old/young lad. I have the pocket book version of it as well.

So, this book is full of wonderful ideas and information for boys of all ages... What i think is , this book can makes a good 「溝女書」that, if a boy can know everything as in this book, he will obviously be a good company.

He will know everything from simple instructions for coin tricks and paper airplanes alternate with excerpts from history such as Famous Battles and facts about ancient wonders of the world and astronomy, and they even have excepts of quotes from Shakesphere!! Obviously an added point for impressing young ladies!!

So, my friends, if you have to look for ideas for Xmas present for young boys/young adult, this book is a good idea. The boys will gone crazy just by reading the title.

Another interesting book would be:
The Book of Lists

It refers to any one of a series of books compiled by best selling author Irving Wallace, his son David Wallechinsky, and daughter Amy Wallace.

Each book contains hundreds of lists on unusual or esoteric topics, for example:

* Famous people who died during sexual intercourse
* The world's greatest libel suits
* People suspected of being the real Jack the Ripper
* Worst places to hitchhike
* People misquoted by Ronald Reagan
* Breeds of dogs which bite people the most, and the least
