Week Three: How Not to Be A Boy

How to be amused, very amused and enlightened and then miserable - all in one book.

Helps when you like the writer certainly, and the other half will get a look in at some point I'm sure, but for now this book was so beautifully heartfelt without being cloying or posing too much.

Webb has a style and a voice that comes through in every sentence, so even the most cringe-worthy  embarrassments read like sketches and you can't help but smile and be amused. Contradictory to this is the facts, the heartbreaking facts of life, love and death that often sneak up and belt you from nowhere.

Laugh then cry, then laugh again and feel the pain healing for him and you as the reader.

Honestly I can't recommend this book enough for my female friends, maybe not how every guy's mind works, probably the minority.

But any one who does think like this and ends up in the same point by the end is worth getting to know as a person (not a Boy or a Man, or a not-Woman - a Person).

Read the book.
