Terrible role model book for adolescent boys.
I am a father of a 13-year-old boy. His teacher recommended this book. My son actually asked me to read the jacket to see what I thought. When I read that the book was about a bunch of teenage guys wanting to see a naked girl, I was more than a little surprised. I read the book and thought it was very inappropriate for a middle school student to read for an assignment. I feel also that it was inappropriate for my son's teacher to suggest such trash.

To each their own
If a boy was watching me undress I'd pop um streight in there 'wanna be' kisser. They ain't gonna kiss nothin after I'd be threw with um. Anyways, I think they should have at least learned a lesson about this being a terribly good or bad thing! The title doesn't make that sense to me, but I'm probably not getting something. I guess someone had to write a story like this sooner or later. . boys will be boys, no longer an accurate saying. Unless there like 5.

I think this book is way too much sex talk,and I dont think its appropriate for kids under age 13. I really havent let my kids read it yet,and they are 14 and 16. SEX IS NOT GOOD.
