Summary: Good introduction for adolescents
Comment: I bought this book for my Little Brother (we're part of the Big Brother/Little Brother program.) when he began asking questions about voice changes and pimples, and using the word masturbation. This book covers all of that and more in an easy-going style. Basically, the book communicates that all of these things are natural and normal, but along with them comes gentle reminders of personal responsibility. Gurian speaks directly to the reader (intended to be an adolescent boy) and tells him all the changes that are happening or going to happen to him, including psychological such as anger, know-it-all-ism, and bodily changes like skin, hair, hormones, etc.

The book didn't spark much discussion between us, but I think that was because the book pretty much covered it all. The author himself recommends that you just give him the book. It's all pretty straight forward information that doesn't need much explanation. Tip: Get another copy for yourself to keep. It's helpful when your boy mentions something, then you two are working from the same source.

Summary: From Boys to Men
Comment: I was disappointed with this book. I was looking for a book to give information about the changes a boy goes through---not put inappropriate ideas into thier heads. This books suggests that touching each other, experimentation, etc. are normal. This goes against the teaching of not letting anyone touch you in private spots.

Summary: From Boys to Men
Comment: This book was concise, informative, and conveyed appropriate information in a respectful manner. I recommend this book strongly for anyone who has a son facing the adolescent years. My son learned a lot and it has opened the door for many conversations and questions.
