Johnny Bunko: The kids like it

Dan Pink's new book The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need is out, and I've given it the ultimate test. I asked my two sons (Max, 19; Zack, 15) to read it and comment on it. First, the book is successful in the sense that they both read it. It isn't very long, and it is in manga form, so it isn't very taxing intellectually, but neither of these comments is meant to suggest that it isn't quite good. Both boys read it and were able to discuss the points raised in terms of their own experience.
