Any man-child will love this book
A book FULL of absolutely random BOY things! Instructions on how to build a treehouse (including materials needed), what to say and not-to-say to girls, the perfect paper airplane, changing a tire, etc., etc., etc. Literally random stuff. My husband bought himself AND my grandson a copy.

(my mom was furious)
It taught me how to start a fire with a battery and gum wrapper. Also taught me how to make a butane bubble to put on my hand (my mom was furious)

Not very Dangerous
I was Expecting a very mild form of the Anarchist Cookbook. It's interesting but pretty tame

So much fun
A great book. I bought the previous version for myself and my son. I buy this new edition for each new boy dad I know and everyone (born in 1989 or earlier for reference) loves it.

A must-have for any home library
Super fun book! The fun just keeps going when you also have the prequel, 'The Dangerous Book for Boys'. Lots of exciting projects and ideas, educational information and facts, stories, and other things that boys and girls alike will enjoy for hours of great reading.

Screen time cure
My son was a baby when the first Dangerous Book For Boys was published, and my husband and I read it together in anticipation of the adventures we would have. Sadly we never did build the Dangerous book tree house.... but this second book comes out just in time for my son’s 13th birthday and couldn’t be a more timely purchase. Half Why Don’t You.... half geek’s paradise, the Double Dangerous book is the perfect antidote for screen obsessed Kevin the teenager types. We’ve already revisited forgotten games like Spoons and Flour & Matchstick, our daughter has attempted a jumping paper frog and a neglected Rubik’s cube has been dusted off. In a packed book there is something for everyone. For us, pencil catapults beat Great British Trees but even making a stink bomb is encouraged in our house when any family time together wins against fortnight. The house to build in the second Dangerous book is an igloo. Roll on winter.

A good sequel to the original
My boys loved the first, now I see them ploughing through this to get more ideas to keep them busy beyond screens. A+
