I did enjoy reading this book because like the other book of his I read, it is an easy read and I could really hear his voice in the book. The topics in the book are definately things parents should speak to their children about, but I plan on talking to my children about these things instead of having O'Reilly be their source of information. But for children who do not have involved parents, this could be a good book for them.

It's hard to trust a non-kid who uses ''YYSSLIBTO'' to mean ''Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, like I believe that one.''
