At least half of the essay in this book are really funny and, as a woman, I appreciated the insight into the male mind (or, you know, at least the educated, witty, writer-ly male mind). While some stretch the subject of the book pretty far (I mean, can you honestly call a cat or your infant daughter a "woman" who's "dumped" you?) most of the guys tackle the subject head on and relate just what they figured out from failed relationships. I guess the moral of this book is that the best way (the only way?) to change a man is to dump his ass. ( )

There were a couple of okay essays, but on the whole they were very bland. ( )

Oy ve! Where did they get this many whack-jobs?

So, I want to tell you, these are Not the type of men I'd be with! They are in no way, shape or form even qualified as mensch. More like, schlemiel...clueless.

What's more is all of these guys are now the pride & joy of their mammalas! All are now very successful comedians! But did I find them funny, well not at all...... I'm thinking, that this book written by men is for men...because I honestly didn't get what they were talking about.....

Do I blame the women who dumped them? Nope not at all, several of the guys were overly neurotic.

And when I looked them all up in Google Images: Oy, I gotta tell you they all have that meshugga look about them, that wild eyed crazy man look like Jim Carey.....

TBC.....

Very funny audiobook - listening to this brought me many a chuckle. I recommend it as an audiobook even more than as a book. Dan Savage's story was hilarious.
