How to Remodel a Man : Tips and Techniques on Accomplishing Something You Know Is Impossible but Want to Try Anyway

Summary: Laugh Out Loud <LOL>
Review: <LOL!> Buy this book ONLY if you want to "Laugh Out Loud." It has page after page of hilarious "helpful hints" -- ammunition for the ongoing battle of the sexes -- presented in a sillier, softer format, yet with a sly masculine slant. Chock-ful of light-hearted answers to everyday questions, like why a guy would want to go to a ball game in the snow wearing nothing but green greasepaint, the amusing text turns turns guff into guffaw. The author's comparison to the "map of Wyoming" is a pretty astute observation about what really goes on inside the male brain. On the flipside, the over-the-top mirth level takes some of the pain out of how much giving birth really hurts. Each chapter gets funnier. Presented ingenuously, the Seinfeld-like absurdity of everyday gender-specific topics forces readers to remind ourselves to laugh at/with, rather than leave, the significant other. I laughed so hard at the teaching the dog not to fart part that I dropped the book, and found my page again somewhere between wry and "way-witty." This writer is not just hilarious, he's absolutely hysterical! This Cameron dude takes humor writing to a whole new level. There's only one drawback: Jolly as it is, reading this book is a teensy bit sad because it makes you miss Erma Bombeck's newspaper column. I wish he would write a column for the major syndicates so we could pick up the newspaper and have a new laugh every day.

Summary: when a book makes me laugh out loud...
Review: ...it's a very special and VERY funny book. HOW TO REMODEL A MAN is terrific -- funny and observant and sharp, and surprisingly sweet as well. I was fond of both the hapless "hero" and his cadre of helpers, especially Sarah.

Summary: This book cracks me up!
Review: I was in desperate need of a good laugh when I picked up this book, and it truly did the trick. It allowed me to laugh at the differences between men and women, instead of taking them so darn seriously. While the narrator is truly clueless, Bruce Cameron is obviously NOT. He gets men, women and he urges all of us to laugh instead of overanalyze, nag and nit-pick. It helps to be reminded that men are silly creatures with hearts of gold.

Summary: Not So Funny
Review: I'd never heard of Bruce Cameron before, but the title and the cover made me want to read this book. Some of the reviewers have compared him to Dave Barry.. but I don't think he's as talented or as funny. This book wasn't purposeful so much as it was just a lighthearted look at men and how they are. Some of the chapters were funnier than others... but overall I wasn't impressed. I wasn't expercting a 'serious' book, but even so this didn't live up to expectation. The good thing about the book is that the chapters are independent of one another so you can skip around and read just the ones that interest you most.

Summary: Really I rate this 117 stars out of 5!
Review: If you only have twenty dollars left in the world, buy this book! I have not laughed this much in my entire life. Lest you think it is just entertainment, this an educational book that should be required reading before graduating from high school for everyone. I am sending this to my friends, relatives, exboyfriends and the like!

Summary: Hilarious and absolutely true!!
Review: Laughed until I cried...can't decide which I like better, his meetings with his children in 8 Simple Rules or this book, which talks about men's inability to ask for directions, find things in the fridge, etc. Great book to read a little each night before bed or to give as a gift. What a great Christmas present for DAD, HUSBAND, BOYFRIEND, ADULT SON, Etc. I can't wait for his next one.

Summary: Still chuckling
Review: My wife kept laughing out loud while reading this book. I repeatedly asked to "borrow" it, but she had to share it with all her friends first. I finally had to buy my own copy! And I find myself laughing (at least chuckling) over Cameron's unique
and sort of crazy sense of humor.
I don't think I'm ready for remodeling (don't ask my wife), but I recognize myself on almost every page. I'm just macho enough to consider my traits "endearing."
Would like to see a sequel about remodeling a woman !!

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This book is a must have if you live with man, know a man, or are a man. Much like Cameron's 8 Simple Rules, the writing style is breezy and engaging and downright hilarious!

Summary: Sexist
Review: This book is only funny if you enjoy perpetuating the stereotype that men are nothing but sex-crazed barbarians who can't dress or feed themselves. Maybe Cameron does fit the stereotype, but many of us are far more advanced and mature than that.

I also find it to be sad that men are open targets for this sort of thing. If this book were written about women or minorities, the author would be burned at the stake.

Summary: Sudy Hurst---current woman and recent reader of Bruce's book
Review: Tired of War and Peace and want/need some fun, humorous reading? Read this book then! Page by page, the author highlights very funny facts about men that my male friends really do tell me they associate with and even find funny! My girlfriends think the book is hysterical and they make great gifts for book club or an easy read.......but only if you want to laugh!
