Summary: all in good laugh-out-loud fun
Review: For pure funniness, it's hard to beat Dave Barry and this book is not exception. Open to any page and you'll find something silly, hilarious and often offbeat on the subject of relationships with women, sports, do-it-yourselfing, public rest rooms, driving and the testosterone theory. In-short, any guy thing at all.Guys, it appears (as opposed to men) have never grasped the "Basic Human Moral Code, which I believe was invented by women millions of years ago when all the guys were out engaging in some other activity, such as seeing who could burp the loudest." A book that can be enjoyed equally by guys and gals.

Summary: Women: this will help you understand guys
Review: Forget "Mars and Venus." Women, if you're having trouble understanding guy behavior, this is the book to read. Dave Barry's hilarious take on all things guy-hood will help you understand the male psyche while you're laughing your head off. I highly recommend it for all women!

Summary: Poor guys!
Review: Haha, this books really rocks whit laughs! The guy's (that is,average eterosexual male)responsibilities for what's wrong in his life,at home and in the world as large are very hilariously pinned out (Saddam: I bet you can't topple my regime. Bush: Oh,YEAH? You'll see! Guy on television: I assure you that the American tanks you see in Baghdad are only [there for show]). I loved the chapters on [love] and women. The chapters on violence and automobilistic bullyism inspire serious thoughts after the laughs. In any case, a comic masterpiece.

Summary: the first...yah yah
Review: hmm..be the first to review this book the link says... I'm quite surprised no one has reviewed this yet.. well this edition of the book anyway. This was the first Dave Barry book I ever read, I was snooping around the Paul Reiser(enough with the Paul Reiser!) area in the library hoping there'd be some more funny books and found this one. Well I was not disappointed. It is.. extremely funny. It caused me to pursue further Dave Barry books, although I must say this is probably funnier than the rest. I showed bits to friends and they could not stop laughing (especially the sex bit..whoo whoo). It is a pity that Dave Barry is not really known in Australia since few people borrowed this book. I would personally promote this book vigorously to other readers but I'd just end up annoying them again. Oh what do they know. This is one of those great books where the humour is not strained like some books where you know they're trying to be funny and frankly, they're not.

Summary: Get the book. Get the book! For God's sake, GET THE BOOK!!!!
Review: How can you describe a book that makes you laugh hysterically with every single sentence, earning you strange looks from everyone around?
Well, that's excatly what this excellent book's all about - a hilarious analysis of men from every aspect - historical, biological, social, a future cast, all combined with the best of Dave Barry's humor.
Recommended to each and every human being on the planet, even Barry Mannilow fans <g>

Summary: Barry is Genius
Review: I have never run across a Dave Barry book yet that didn't make me laugh out loud, and Dave Barry's Guide to Men is no exception. Whether you're a man wondering about acceptable behavior for a member of your gender or a woman considering dating one of these foul beasts, the Guide to Men provides a tongue-in-cheek (and in places truthful!) analysis of men and the mystery surrounding them. It's alternately hilarious and informative...and it's by Dave Barry, what more needs to be said?

Summary: We're all guys -- Barry just admits it.
Review: I just recently re-read this book for the umpteenth time only to confirm my suspicions -- that it is, in fact, just as funny as all of the other times I've read it. Dave Barry is a true guy. He's more than a guy, in fact, he is a guy so secure in his guyitude that he can point out everything it means to be a guy and divulge all of our secrets to members of the extreme opposite gender. From the truth about urinal etiquitte to our tendency to try to repair everything even remotely mechanical despite our utter lack of skill or talent, Barry nails all members of our gender down perfectly. This is easily his best book -- just as sharp, funny, and most importantly, TRUE, as it was the day it was first published.

Summary: The best comedy is usually factual
Review: I really loved this book. Bacially, Dave Barry's premise is that there are men and there are guys, and he is a guy. The book humorously traces guys through history. Afterward, Barry covers problems that face guys. A heavy focus is given to sexual issues. As funny as the book is, much of it is true. I would recommend this book especially for any male, and for any female that has a sense of humor as well.
