The Dangerous Book for Boys?

Question

The Dangerous Book for Boys by Gonn Iggulden is getting a lot of attention recently. Has anyone got this book? Can you tell me whether it deserves all the acclaim? I was looking at buying it for my boyfriend, but I don't want to waste my money :)

Answer 1

I've bought this for several of my male friends and relatives and they love it! It's full of stuff like how to win at conkers, race your own go-cart, quotations from Shakespeare, famous battles, Laws of Football, Dinosaurs, Fishing, Ancient Wonders of the World - tons of information for blokes! If they're mature they'll love remembering what they got up to as boys and if they're young they'll learn lots.
It's half price in most places now!

Hello Lorrie,
I am resident in Brazil and a voracious reader. I very admire and taste of English literature. I had access the parts of the book of the Coon brothers and found interesting very. I wait that it is published soon in Brazil.
Who was Hal had the idea to write The dangerous book will be boys. It had the idea makes one two years: it would be a modern version of the publication that it saw when he was a librarian of 13 years in the school, in London: The boy' s own to paper of 1912, a full periodical of games and histories of heroísmo and advice on as to grow done man and to be a loyal citizen to the Empire.
To these heights, Hal was a director of theater for return of the 30; its older brother, Conn, were the author of a series of popular romances on Júlio Cesar.
The two had passed six months in a hut in the garden of Conn in Rickmansworth, having made arcs and arrows with rock tip, catapults, playing marbles . If they had amused to the robe. `Was intense', says Conn. Estavamos next one to the other.' They had written a manual to make adventures as the ones that had had in the hut and had included some things that all boy must know: histories of Scott in Antarctica and Douglas Bader; great military battles; as to calculate longitude and latitude in the sea; the 10 orders; the rules of cricket and the grammar and slight knowledge of Latin. Also it is there a great chapter on the British Empire. `Only the facts', says Hal. `We are not inventing excuses by what it was made.’
The book of the brothers Hall and Conn Iggulden already it vendeu 160.000 copies in the United kingdom and make thundering success between boys - but also between its parents, what it proves, evidently, the said one of that all woman already is born to the 12 years - and that no man never passes from there.
I believe that valley the penalty to buy and wait that as much you how much its boyfriend likes this book.
