50 Rules Kids Won't Learn in School. The title says it all. The rules are real-world, not what our parents and teachers would prefer the world to be like. This book is honest, witty, and amusing even while quoting statistics and facts. It's no-nonsense, succinct, and clear-cut. You'll laugh as you nod your head in agreement!

I loved the way the author, Charles J. Sykes, would interject witty comments without taking anything away from the "story". The book had a point, a reason, and it fulfilled the reason without disappointment.

There is nothing about this book that I didn't like.

I wanted to go out and buy his other books. I wanted to know more.

I laughed while reading this book. It was funny, but it made sense in a way that made you think.

Charles J. Sykes is definitely now one of my favorite authors, if only because of this book. His style is witty, concise, fun to read, and makes tons of sense.

It will make you think, and maybe help you treat your kids like they're your kids, not your friends. It may bring to your attention the fact that your children do not hold the reins of your relationship, you do.
