The very first thing I noticed about this book was how gorgeous it was - the corners are curved, the pages are finished beautifully, the cover art is engaging and the book is filled with cute, funny illustrations by Keri Smith (to quote Alice of Wonderland fame, 'What is the use of a book, without pictures or conversations?')

Of course, after that, I opened the book. And it just got better from there. Boyology is a non-fiction book for teenage girls, and has a chatty, conversational t More...

Just like the title says, BOYOLOGY is a "crash course," although it's more of a crash course in dating, rather than boys in general. For instance, if you want to know what a "safety" is in football so you can have a conversation with your brother on a Sunday afternoon, then this book is not what you're looking for. However, if you want to figure out whether your brother's friend is flirting with you while you're a More...

Cute and surprisingly informative. I picked up this ARC because we booked Sarah to come into Changing Hands in June. What did a 25 year old mother of two learn from reading Boyology? Quite a bit actually. More about the behavior of my younger siblings, but it also made me flash back to those awkward tween and teen years a times more than I like. Though, I must give thanks to Sarah for clearing up a few, still confusing, Jr. High situations.

I would recommend this for parents who's yo More...

An excellent resource for teen girls who are interested in boys. How do you flirt? Do you want a boyfriend? How do you kiss? How do you break up? How should you act when you meet "his" parents or introduce your parents to "him"? What are warning signs that tell you to dump him ASAP? All this and more answered in a breezy, humorous style, with basic steps explained, quizzes to take, boy-types to laugh over, and quotes from actual guys on their take on an issue. Good ad More...

As you can probably tell by the cover, title and summary, Boyology is a go-to manual for all things boy related. Since from flirting techniques to breaking up to first dates, Boyology covers just about all of it for girls out there dying to know just a little bit more about boys, those unusual but beautiful and addicting creatures out there.

Boyology is told in a very fun way because not only does it include chapters about different things guy related by Sarah but pictures, Celeb Sh More...

Boyology is aptly subtitled A Teen Girl's Crash Course in All Things Boy. This book is a collection of advice, what to wear, what not to wear, how to start a conversation, how to become an "awesome" kisser. But serious issues are addressed as well: how to protect yourself, how to say no, what to do if you are assaulted. The book is fun and informative, the packaging is engaging, and I can see groups of girls reading this and ROTFL. Especially recommended for middle school.

Recommended for middle school and high school. The book is written in a very upbeat, teen-friendly style. Sidebars, font changes, colored pages and line drawings abound. Topics from how to tell whether a boy likes you to how to break up and move on are covered. Advice from real teens and celebrities are scattered throughout. There is nothing graphic, but a straightforward chapter on "setting your boundaries" should give girls the confidence to be able to say "no" when th More...

A textbook to help teen girls learn about the minds of boys with a step-by-step flirting guide, an 'Are you a good date?' quiz, and a chart to help you figure out if that guy you like is a 'boyfriend' or just a 'boy friend.'

This was a really hilarious book. I found it rather entertaining how the author was trying to be really cool in her writing. It did have some pretty good pointers, though, although not very many!

I won this book off the Radio/fb. I know nothing about this book. It will be intresting to find out about. The title sure sounds fun.

I found out that this is not a novel, but a self-help book. It was a lot of fun with good advice. I have passed it along to some of my nieces. They are enjoying reading it.
