This book is fantastic. It is hilarious and well-written (I love the "nuggets" about each dreamboat) in addition to having colorful pics of many hunky stars. Great gift idea for that girl (or woman) in your life who loves hot geeks!

in a sentence or so: a silly celebration of geeky celebs.

from Will Arnett to Mos Def to Michael Cera to Daniel Radcliffe, this book takes a look at your favorite geeky celebs and gives them a little shout out. each geeky dremboat has their picture, some geek nuggets (birthday, fun facts, favorite things, etc) and then a little bio explaining why the authors chose to put them in the celebration of nerdish hotties.

the two funny female authors sum up the purpose of this book so much better than i could hope to with this blurb from the introduction: "Sure, some of these cuties may appear a little dreamier than geeky, or a little geekier than dreamy, but remember, the prevailing theme here is the beautiful and poetic combination that makes up the sexy nerd."

in the style of a teeny-bopper magazine, this is a fabulous idea for that nerd lover in your life, for a coffee table book, or just to add to your geekish repertoire. seriously, it's high comedy and awesome. check it out!

my personal fave geeky dreamboat mentioned in the book: Simon Pegg (duh). "He fights zombies. And zombie killers are rad! Simon is like a big zombie-fighting teddy bear that makes us laugh in a time of crisis. The fact that he loves Star Wars, The X-Files, and zombies may make him the poster child of geeks, but he's still a dreamboat. When we watched Shaun of the Dead, we realized that when zombies take over the world, there's no one we'd rather have defending us than Simon Pegg. On top of that, he has one quality that blinds all women - a British accent." (68)

This book is genius! What a great selection of geeky dreamboats. The book totally turned me on to some new hotties that somehow managed to miss my radar. Hopefully this book will turn more of America's youth into smart, funny, and hunky men. I think the dumb jock is totally out and geeky dreamboats are so IN!!!! Thank you for this little slice of heaven. Great pictures, a great read, and very informative.

When I came across this book on ModCloth, I knew it was a must-have for my roommate and I. I decided to check for a better price, though, and I found one here!

The book contains some of our favorite geeky actors and it has become a favorite coffee table book that always gets comments from our guests.

Although we may disagree a little with some of what is said, it's an adorable book that will delight any fangirl!

I saw this book on another online store called Mod Cloth (mainly a clothing store), and I knew straight away from glancing at the cover that I had to have it! And after I signed up with Amazon, it was the first thing I bought.

Filled with all my favourite geeks (young and old-er), I was gawking from start to finish, and I have gone back and looked through it a few times.

There are a few surprises in here with the selection of some possibly unlikely geeks, but I love them all the same.

I was especially happy to find my two favourite dreamboats, John Cusack and Edward Norton.

5 stars

I saw this book at a friend's place and loved it. Then I talked about it so much I had to have my own copy. Funny!!!!!

This was super funny. Although Conen O'Brien was in there... He is most definitely NOT a geeky dreamboat.
