This book is quite good in that it helps to reinforce guidance young men should ideally adhere to through a Catholic perspective. I will say that the book apparently did not go through a proper editing process (at least by a professional or qualified editor) as some of the grammar and spelling, particularly towards the beginning of the book, is lacking.
There is also a small section that I feel is quite antiquated and that is where the author says for boys to steer clear of and avoid girls who make the first move and show an interest in them first. I understand that chilvary still has its place to some degree but this isn't the 15th Century anymore and boys shouldn't be compelled to run off from a girl because she is the one who is exerting confidence and showing the initial interest in a boy.
Aside from these noted aspects, this is an overall quality book to read for younger male readers who are both Catholic and coming of age.

A good, solid book. Easy to read, but gives guidance and morals to young teens.
