 Rating:  - A boyhood bibleI wish I had this book when I was a boy it brings back so many memories of things I tried to do (and nearly aways failed). Catapult making,go-cart making,first aid and girls all things that I sadly lacked the necessary skills in, not for the lack of trying I hasten to add.This book would have tipped the odds in my favour, I think.From codes to coin tricks I would have ascended to the rank of supercool with the knowledge in this book. So parents out there I implore you to buy this book for your children and give them a fair chance in this unfair world and if not for that reason you could always read it yourselves !!! Rating:  - Tasty MorselsUndoubtedly an unusual book, but this 40+ found it good for occasional dipping into. It goes into all kinds of stuff that might interest boys, and quite a few girls too I reckon. There's bound to be inaccuracies in a book like this, and in that carping vein I would point out that some of the comments on how to play chess were not even wrong. But that doesn't matter at all. Its contribution will be to get its reader interested in a topic, not as a reference in its own right. Rating:  - An excellent book by Hal (with a little help from Conn!)As the cliche goes: I sooo wish I'd had this book as a kid. Nearly everything inside could be found with 5 minutes determined google searching, but it is the lucidity and compiling that makes this book so compelling. Somehow it makes you feel invigourated reading it - you feel that it is entirely possible to do all the things listed and be a swiss army man or stg. The one weakness (if it has a weakness) that this book has is that it does have an ever so slightly condescending tone. However, given the tone of the many inferior versions (eg the 'How to be best at everything...' series - as if they are), this book is remarkably down to earth. So, what are you waiting for? If you've got this far then you clearly spend too much time on t'internet rather than reading books like these (irony not intended). Get up off your arse and go read this book! Rating:  - Not So Brilliant Books For BoysSorry to disagree with some of the reviewers on here but I would like to disagree and rename the book 'The Dangerous Book for Dads!' Don't get me wrong - it IS a great book - but not for boys! I think it is Dads and Grandads who love it most. We bought it on impulse because WE liked it! Our son looked at and took a polite interest in the activities but didn't choose to refer to it again. A lovely book, but not for boys to actually read? Rating: - PERFECTThe Dangerous Book for Boys shows how much better a book can be compared to videogames or activities that involve being sat down in front of a TV. Illustrating fun, creative activities and promoting outdoor exercise as well as a variety of games that will put readers' mind to the test, this book is simply perfect. To top it up, it isn't all just fun and games, it is also educational thanks to the interesting historical and geographical facts, which top up the readers' experience with knowledge. I strongly recommend this intelligent, beautifully illustrated, very entertaining book that will satisfy everyone, not just boys.
