[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great book for boys. The information is relevant and the language is appropriate. It is just the right amount of fact and advice.

[Ilva · Rating 3 out of 5]

Viegla valoda un patīkams grāmatas formāts, piemērotas ilustrācijas, reizēm pat smieklīgas no pieaugušo skatpunkta, bet ļoti labas priekš tīņiem. Piedomāts pie padomu sniegšanas veida, lai tas būtu tāds viegls un iespējams neradītu pretestību no lasītāja puses. Ir ievietoti daži paštesti, lai noteiktu vai ir sākusies pubertāte un vai piemēram tev nav depresija. Nav slikts avots kā apmulsušam tīnim iedvest domu par to, ka viss, kas ar viņu notiek ir normāli.
