I know, it is a crazy world we live in isn’t it! As I wrote this review quite a while ago now, I thought I would check up on what Alec Greven is up to at the moment... It seems he has just released two more books titled ‘How to talk to Moms’ and ‘How to talk to Dads’!! Apparently they are also top sellers! Who knows... maybe this kid really is the perfect child who gets the best out of both his parents and has a smashing love-life! I am actually fascinated to see how he turns out in adulthood though and if he’s still writing books etc. Thanks for reading, :) Sam x Hi Leanne, hope you’re well!

It's either genius or stupid but I'm not sure which! Great review though,take care!x Hey Sam,great review-I think,like most people have said,that it’s a shame kids pick up on such stereotypical views from such a young age,also…Who thought of creating an 8year old’s project into a published book?! It’s either genius or stupid but I’m not sure which! Great review though,take care!x

Society has a long way to come before involuntary conditioning can be rid of completely it seems! Sam Hi,

This kid has already bought into all the typical stereotypes.. he judges based on how girls dress, he encourages inappropriate behaviour while assuming the girl will be the wild one and then, as you mentioned, has that woe is me, poor white boy thing... Gee!!! but, really anyone who thinks that an 8 year old has credible dating advice deserves whatever they get... Nice review!! df I agree with much of what you have to say in your review of this book.

Does she say "pip pip" when you're going too slow and "tally ho" when you reach your destination? :) Ah I need to have a temporary ban from bookstores... Not because you work there but because I keep purchasing new books before I've read all the ones already in a massive queue... and a little bit because you work there :-p xxx Awesome… Does she say “pip pip” when you’re going too slow and “tally ho” when you reach your destination? :)

I thought he was BIG news over there... He's been on the Ellen show... I thought that was your favourite show!! :) I also just read that apparently they're in talks for making a movie about his story (I'm not sure quite what story that is)... I assume they'll get someone like Brad Pitt to play him and it'll be great! :) Sam PS: We can't help being obsessed with Americans... You're just so darn interesting! :) Really!
