Great primer for Boys and their parents:
Very well written for the target audience. Uses lots of adult male reflections that even a 2nd generation immigrant can relate too. Really gets at the essence of what a Bar Mitzvah is and should remain to be, but in addition, it talks about the path that a bar Mitzvah starts a young man on for his committment and obligation as a member of the jewish and world community. Father - 43 years old.
Entertaining:
Im not even Jewish but man, this book really taught me how to become a man and if I hypothetically was jewish, I would know exactly how to go about my bar mitzvah
