Book Description:
Despite popular belief, American boys tag behind girls in reading and writing ability, and they are less likely to go to college. Our young men are greatly at risk, yet the best-known studies and experts insist that it's girls who are in need of our attention. The highly publicized "girl crisis" has led to many changes in American schools, politics, and parenting...but at what cost?
In this provocative book, Christina Hoff Sommers argues that our society has continued to overemphasize the troubles of girls while our boys suffer from the same self-esteem and academic problems. Boys need help, but not the sort of help they've been getting.

Although Christina Hoff Sommers does make a few good points. I felt that this book was very argumentative, outdated, and did not provide a clear picture of what is going on nationwide. Having 2 sons myself I know that not all school systems are run like the few examples that Sommers choose to include. In the end I felt that if all the money being spent on research was instead given to public education, there would not be an "in crisis" child male or female!

Essentially about the "girl crisis" which doesn't exist vs. the "boy crisis" which does. Well done.
