Girls, here it is―everything you need to know about 1. Boys come from the Stupid Factory. 2. Boys are pretty much smelly and useless. 3. It is possible to have fun with boys, however..... 4. If you decide to keep a boyfriend, he will need to be housebroken.
With a South Park-for-girls edgy freshness, artist and entrepreneur (David & Goliath clothing) Todd Harris Goldman updates the eternal battle of the sexes. And this time the girls win. Packaged in soft, puffy cover (so if you do keep a boyfriend around the house, he won't hurt himself too much when he tries to figure out what it is by putting it in his mouth), this bright, irreverent book is the perfect girlfriend gift .
The perfect solution to any bad moods caused by dirty, smelly, dumb boys. :-p Not to be taken seriously naturally; a cute silly story for those days you just want to indulge the inner child.
First of all, the mere cover shows the first signs of sexist behavior, and the sentence suggests that girls start stoning (which, by the way, is illegal) innocent boys that are just being themselves! After I read this book, I was horrified. I am a intelligent middle-school aged boy writing this review, and I am just as educated as girls my age. We boys have rights! Why did you do this to us, Todd Harris Goldman? WHY?!
This book wasn't as funny as his first one, Girls Are Weirdos but they smell pretty. It has a lot less content; which is probably why it's less funny. Also, if you think about it, perhaps its because the author Todd Harris Goldman is a boy, and he wrote it. It's almost a mockery of how his perspective on what he thinks that girls think about boys. However, I agree that "boys are stupid" so, "throw rocks at them." Also, it reads kinda choppy like a babies book, but on the bright side there's jokes in there that are extremely hilarious. On the simple fact that there are some really side-bursting boy-bashing jokes in there, I recommend reading this book out of pure curiosity. In conclusion, it is funny, just not as funny as Goldman's girl book. Thus, it's not exactly a waste of time, if it makes you laugh.
Of course I exclude my husband and my almost born son, but I do have to agree....boys can be pretty gross and this book is very funny especially if you are in the dating stage and have taken a misstep in your choice of boyfriends....hehehe
While I have enjoyed David & Goliath illustrations before, including the one that the book is titled after, I did not enjoy this books. I felt like it took the illustration and just ran with it. It wasn't really funny to me and it was somewhat offensive.
If you're a fan of David & Goliath, proceed with caution.
this book was quite entertaining and filled with some funny truths. though, i do have a feeling that reading it with my cousin made it funnier than it really was. nevertheless i did enjoy it.
My favorite book of all time. I identify with the cartoon boy one hundred percent. I love the girl wins in the book and defeats the boy. It is an interesting take on things. Iove reading the book when I am sitting on the toilet. It very enjoyable and fun to look at or read. Especially I identify with the crude parts of the book being that peeing and also sitting on the toilet pooping are my favorite parts of life. It is an awesome book. It is nice to see girls win in the book because they still have to struggle in real life and fight for basic political rights. I like this version of things.
Great book. I used to have it in my underwear drawer. it is a bit graphic because there is a cartoon butt in it on the page where the boy is peeing on the ground.
I identify with the cartoon boy and these cartoons are important to me. Honestly I don't agree with most people's point of view that the book is just about guy's who are jerks. This is most people's point of view and I don't agree with them. Nor will I submit and give them that satisfaction they so dearly want to cling to. I believe I can be exactly like the cartoon boy and enjoy doing boy things and still be a nice person. The book can be fun and you can still have your take on it without submitting to other people's point of view. I don't think this book is something that has to be seen from a standard point of view. Not to sound too passive aggressive. Just the way I am expressing it.
Silly and sophomoric if taken too seriously, but if not, pretty damn funny. I gave as a gift to a friend who had just broken up with someone and at least it made her laugh. Just found my copy the other day and re-read...lots of giggles. I guess it can't be too bad if my boyfriend laughs too!
