This was a short and sweet book that took a satirical look at the inside of a man's head. There were a few times I laughed while reading through the different topics. The cartoons included with each topic were cute.
I thought the book was funny, but I while I was reading it I found that I was trying to compare my fiancee, dad, or step-dad to what the book was talking about. And while I know that this book was meant to be humorous I didn't notice too many similarities between the men in my life and the stereotypes about men that this book tries to explain. Don't know if the men in my life are just different or what. My fiancee actually looked through the book quickly when I had it sitting on my desk waiting for a review and he commented that "it was kind of offensive."
I was expecting a little bit more from the book. I had assumed before I got it that it would be more of a novel type book rather than a "comic book" type book. There was very little reading to be done. The 42 page book took me all of 25 minuets to read - and that included going back through it and looking closely at all the cartoons. If you're looking for a book to spend a few hours with, this one probably isn't it. But if you're looking for a coffee table book or - as the description suggests - a bathroom book than this one could be right up your alley. I think it's meant to be more of a pick-up and read for a minute or two kind of book.
It wasn't a bad book, I guess I was just expecting something different from it. But it was funny, and I think that's the whole point with this one.
