 Boring July 18, 2007

I found this book to be completely dull and unfunny. I really wanted to like this book because he used to write brilliant columns, (but even those have lost their edge). I was hoping he was putting all the funny stuff in his books and that's why his columns have been so uninteresting. After reading this book I find that that isn't the case. It just seems to me that if someone has barely enough humor to write a column, a book is out of the question. Sorry, Mr. Cameron, I just can't recommend this stinker.
 What a disappointment - a big snoozer June 3, 2007

I bought this for my mom-in-law for her birthday, because I had read an article of his that was hilarious - too wordy, but hilarious. I took a peek inside this book, and was so disappointed. It was a major snoozer. Come on man, when you TRY so hard to be funny, it's just not funny. I think he'd do better to stick to articles, not try and fill up a whole book. It just gets soooo wordy that the humor falls asleep (and I almost did) before he finishes a topic. I gave it to Goodwill, not mom-in-law. Maybe someone can save themselves some $$ and a little regret by not buying it new.

I thought the book was a very tongue-in-cheek explanation of some men's thought processes, and why they do the things they do. I think only women with experiences with situations and arguments in the book will truly relate to it, but its a hilarious take on the battle of the sexes.

I read 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, and I really liked it. It was filled with a lot of self-deprecating humor, as you watch Mr. Cameron make a complete fool out of himself. Yeah, it was good. However, he drew the entirely wrong message from the success of that book. He assumed that what people want are books that make men look like a load of laughable dunces.
Well, for all I know old Bruce is a dunce, but I, on the other hand, am not. There's a well established market in America for misandrous books, and this book will no doubt appeal to such buyers. If, on the other hand, you don't like sexist humor, then you will not like this book.
I hated this book, and highly recommend AGAINST buying it. 1 star is the most I give it.

This is at the top of my list as the funniest book I have ever read. It was truly entertaining, and I hated to put it down. I even recommended it for our book club.
