This is a shocking look into the world of young men from 16 to 24. The book is a interesting read because of the uncertainty of masculinity during those years. There is a constant fight to be accepted and manly during those years which causes some terrible immature behavior. The landscape is changing from young men, especially during the college days where the majority of time is spent playing video games, hooking up, and watching pornography. Instead of becoming men, there is a delaying of the desire through binge drinking and hazing. This book can be a hard read because of some of the language but it is a useful read because of the need to understand what young men are dealing with in the presence world. For a shocking look into “guyland” check this book out. You will be disappointed at what is happening but helped in dealing with the challenges of this time of age.
