Negative Positive
Title: Sweet but oversimplified
Review: The authors of this book create a sweet cheerleader-like portrait of boys that attributes their only challenges to a lack of emotional range. It's really a one-note book and many of the vignettes in it seem superficial and don't ring true. I didn't like this book nearly as much as REAL BOYS by William Pollack. Pollack's book really shows us what it's like to be a boy in America today and gives lots of helpful hints to parents about what to do. I got numbed out reading Raising Cain and had to push myself to finish reading it.
