He’s been dubbed a relationship guru. And he’s already answered Meredith Vieira’s question: “Are you a chick magnet?” Now 9-year-old published author Alec Greven, who wrote the recently released dating-advice book How to Talk to Girls, can say he’s a Hollywood player. Twentieth Century Fox has optioned the film rights to his common-sense guide to wooing the ladies. Sample entry: “It can be very hard to get a girl to like you. Sometimes it takes years! Whatever happens, just don’t act desperate.” The precocious kid gleaned his knowledge from watching boy-girl interactions on the playground, and turned it into his third-grade writing assignment. He’s been a media sensation ever since.

My left and right ball sack could write a better childrens book than that kid. Why do people who deserve least to make it always end up making it big!
I saw this kid on the Today Show. He struck me as not so smart and kinda dense. If I were to have a kid write any book, I’d pick the girl who plays Bridgette on “Medium.” I saw her on the Tonight Show and she was smart and witty- like the reincarnation of Mae West.
If this kid wanted any real money he would have published a “How to Subtly yet Effectively Lay the Groundwork for Getting all the Do-Able Girls in Your Grade in the Sack by Your Junior Year in Hight School: Memoirs of a Budding Voyeur and Disciple of Larry Flint. Thats a New York Times bestseller for a generation.
This is the best they can come up with? That’s just sad.
Yes Conor that’s my reaction too – WHAT??!!! A 9 year old kid writes a dating book? Give me a breakQ!! What next?A 6 year old girl writing about what clothes to wear to not make you look fat?
