Dave Barry's Guide to Guys

Summary: A Lough out Loud book!
Review: I recommend this book for anyone who wants a good laugh. Same with all of Dave Barry's other books, it contains light fluffy material that you can read and pick up on anytime and anywhere. And pretty much anyone will find what he writes humorous. THis is because his material is understandable to anyone who reads it. His "guide to guys" is truly observative humor even though he tends to exaggerate a lot (which makes it all the more funny).

This book is divided into chapters based on different categories of "guyness". FOr example one chapter could deal with guys actting macho, or problems of guys, etc. This is great because you can flip to the chapter of your choice, you don't have to read it front to back. THis is what i tend to do on my 2nd or 3rd read. THe great thing about Dave Barry books is that you can read it over and over again, and the jokes remain fresh.

The only problem i have with this book is that it tends to be repetitive in some subjects. And also, the transition from subject to subject may seem abrupt. But all in all i toootally recommend this book to anyone, guy or girl. You'll really get a good laugh out of this.

Summary: I?m dying stop, you're killing me !
Review: This book is, with out a doubt, the most hilarious book I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It's hard to believe that Dave could have you laughing 1 to 2 (mostly two) times per page !!! Dave Barry is one of the most gifted writers ever and I can't get over the brilliance of his work. When it comes to humor he is pure genius. Buy this book, you need to laugh more, seriously.

Summary: Guide to Guys: A Big Hit
Review: While reading Dave Barry's Complete Guide To Guys, I laughed so hard that I almost hit my head on a table. The book is essentially a hysterical explanation of all those things related to guys that normal human beings are unaware of. It begins with an introduction that explains the main differences between men, women, and guys. It then goes on to a "Guyness" quiz, in which the reader can determine whether or not he/she is a guy. It then discusses guy contributions to history, which can be summarized as: absolutely nothing. Next, Barry talks about the biological nature of guys, more specifically why they "act like jerks." He goes on further to tell about the social development, and lack of it, for guys. Next he discusses guy problems, guy medical issues, guys and violence, guys in action, etc. Barry covers every aspect of guys possible, and then some. The book is ultimately one of the funniest pieces of literature I have ever read. It is packed full of jokes, puns, one-liners and hysterical footnotes. It is suitable for young adults and older. I would recommend the book for guys, naturally, as the book is the most funny when one can relate to it. I also recommend that non-guys read the book as well, because it offers insight for normal human beings as to the nature of guys and why they act the way they do. In sum, if you're a guy and need a good laugh, then this is most definitely the book for you.
