Minimally Helpful

This barely touched the surface. The author failed to go in depth. This is a classic example of telling and not showing. 

Helpful Overview

Short and sweet straight to the point. Great book for a quick overview about teenage boys. Very helpful. I have already recommended this book to my friend.

Helpful

Good tips for dealing with teenage boys. Helpful reminders! Will apply some of the tips with my own.

First Parenting book

Never needed a book before age 17 for my son. This book is concise and has substance. Grateful for finding something so straight to the point for a single father.

Raising Teen Boys

This was perfectly concise and informative. I really needed this book. Very well done overall.

Don’t waste a credit

This book offers, no special insight to parenting teenagers other than be a good parent. Discipline your child don’t beat them, allow them to pay restitution, give them some space. I’m not sure I should’ve expected much more with an hour run time, but this was a big disappointment.

Read many parenting books. This is really basic.

Maybe helpful if you are completely new to parenting for some general information. Doesn’t seem that helpful for kids who are very strong willed. One piece of advice is you should aim to be your child's friend. Not sure I agree.

Interesting but misses the mark

I’m trying to understand the premise of the book. Generally ok but nothing new and frankly I wish I hadn’t purchased it. Raising a child doesn’t mean placating to ideals that strive for social justice and equality etc.

Basic common sense and Coddling

Disappointed with the lack of any insightful or new ideas. Responsibility, Accountability, and Consequences. There is no magic solution.

Don’t buy!

Totally not worth “1 credit” of my audible subscription. Very vague advice. Nothing specific, nothing new, nothing innovative. Also very short in length. I would not recommend you buy this.
