"The Dangerous Book for Boys" by Conn and Hal Iggulden won various awards including the Book of the Year award at the 2007 Galaxy British Book Awards. It is a guide book for boys, covering various topics including outdoor activities. Have you read it? How "dangerous" is it for boys?

It's not that it's really "dangerous", it just teaches them the off the wall, weird stuff that you see on Mythbusters.

I've never heard of that book, but it sounds interesting. The stuff they do on Mythbusters is cool. As long as it's not teaching them stuff like you would see on MTVs Jackass

This is exactly what was going through my head when I looked at the title. Even some of the mythbusters stuff has scary potential. I would have to do a preview before our boys got to take a glimpse at this one.

I never heard of that book before. I guess I have to check that out if that's the "talk of the town" type of book before I recommend other people close to me to read it.
