Criitcal reception

Kirkus Reviews , "A witty and insightful cultural analysis." [5]

The Guardian , "Like many other books of popular scholarship, Manning Up also tends to feel like an extended sales pitch for its own neologisms. "Preadulthood", "the New Girl Order" and "the child-man", in this case, are the phrases that Hymowitz would like to see catch on. They won't, I don't think. But here is a neologism of my own: "slacademic". As is the rule with these terms, it should be self-explanatory." [6]
