Should I be concerned

My 13 yr old DS has ordered a book from Amazon. His friend from school said it was good.

It's this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anarchist_Cookbook

AIBU to want to make him return it?

Yeah that's pretty normal. I think almost all my male friends (and a good number of the female ones) have read it, or bits of it. I remember learning to make flour bombs at 11.
We are all perfectly normal adults. Kids like big loud experiments, if encouraged some of them go on to be chemists and engineers. So long as he isn't interested in terrorism, just the fun explosions etc then I wouldn't be worried.

I think it's probably just teenage curiosity but if he starts ordering fertiliser or sets up a crystal meth lab in his bedroom then ring 101 Grin

I LOL'd at this review though, it's worth having the book for this reason alone.

"If you don't take yourself, the EU or this book too seriously, it is a bit of fun. Some experiments are dangerous. I bought it, if only to annoy people of a Tony Blair ilk by keeping it on my coffee table."

He's hates breaking rules (is part of his ASD) so I guess that's reassuring for me but will watch the post for fertiliser etc.

The review is funny.
