Title: Fun read!
Product review: I ordered several short story anthologies from the library wanting to offset my student's study of classic fictional short stories (by such authors as Poe, O.Henry, etc). All but this collection featured outdated "contemporary" stories about growing up. Guys Write for Guys Read, on the other hand, totally delivered! The mostly nonfiction stories and/or cartoons by recognizable authors (Stephen King, Gary Paulsen, Walter Dean Myers, the creator of The Simpsons) are interesting and entertaining from start to finish! My husband laughed hysterically at one of the stories (involving bodily functions-go figure), and my two kids (6 and 4) picked it up once they realized that it contained interesting cartoons. I strongly recommend this anthology for all middle and high school students but especially for male reticent readers and/or budding artists. An added bonus: the brevity of the stories allowed me to determine quickly whether my student read carefully or merely skimmed.
