Book Reviews of The Wonder of Boys
Book Review: how boys process information and circle of influence
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally, some insight on why boys and girls react differently to the same experience. The author's insight on how "boys" brains process information differently from "girls" brains, has helped me to better communicate with my five-year-old son, and more importantly, understand his thought process. Also, the impact of a boy's "circle of influence" has guided me on the importance of our immediate family, extended family, and close friends. While I bought the book to learn about my son, it has helped me to better understand my husband. After all, little boys just grow up to be big boys -- they still process information the same way. Many thanks!Book Review: negative reviews?
Summary: 4 Stars
The negative reviews of this book are completely off the mark.It is NOT anti-female and Mr.Gurian is NOT a "closet misogynist" nor is he promoting a "dangerous" book.The author does reveal alot of passion and genuine concern for the problems facing boys,and he recognizes something that all teachers and parents should recognize,that boys and girls are different(hate to repeat the phrase,but people dont seem to be getting it)and that boys should NOT be feminized at home or in school.Being more physical,more aggressive,more competitive,is hard-wired into a boys being..it is not something that should be stifled with medication or unnecessary punishment.Boys need some boundaries and some discipline,sure,but they dont need to have what makes them boys taken away from them.This book does not have an "agenda",but the fems who condemn it certainly do.Book Review: overlong and shallow
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is like a magazine article stretched to book length, with no increase in content. The writing is cloying and mawkish, mooning over "mysteries" any parent has seen 100 times, and understands better than the author...
