Negative Positive
Title: I've been marketed!
Review: According to the dust jacket, if you love a boy, were a boy, or care about boys and the men they become, read this book." Well gosh, what a coincidence, that includes me! The premise of this book, that we should pay more attention to the emotional lives of boys, isn't exactly a trailblazer, considering the degree to which we've re-evaluated sex roles in recent decades. I can't help thinking that the book was devised to fill an available market niche left open by "Reviving Ophelia." The "product" is a rambling series of pop psych anecdotes (I sometimes ask, is there any other kind of psych?)and patronizing sermons from the all too male authors. God forbid that my boys should grown up to be as shallow and as self-satisfied as they.
Is the review positive or negative?
