Summary: I liked it
Review: I grew up lower middle class without a father. I am 25 and have worked hard to become somewhat successful in my practice. I spend atleast ten bucks on lunch everyday. If this book makes you twenty dollars(or better yet gets you laid), due to some confidence you got from this reading, you just got 100% return (or more) on your investment. Take it for what it is...an introduction to style.

Summary: This book is great, assuming you grew up in a gutter.
Review: I had parents who, shockingly enough, gave me most of this "wisdom" by the time I was 12. I am actually embarrased to have been given this book (by somebody who doesn't know me well) and have since tossed it in the garbage. I actually got angry reading it. Not only is it full of mistakes (tips are not ON TOP of tax) but is so poorly written, so obvious and so short that it's a "book" destined for the remainder bin. The only joy this book gave me was in being flung across the room into ye old trash bin.

Summary: Yes Sir!
Review: If I found anything wrong about this book, it would be it's title. To me, it's sounds like a parody of all those self-help books currently polluting bookstore shelves. But curious, I picked it up and started browsing. It was light and fun reading. I wished it was around earlier when I had questions about concerning my own manners and etiquette and had no one to ask. Much of what/how to do the proper thing(s) to do is covered, from which piece of cutlery to use - to the W5's of ordering wine in a restaurant - to dating tips, and more. The book is short, informative, to-the-point and humourous.
(I wish I had more friends that were like that!)

Summary: Guys, good manners help you get laid!
Review: If it were up to me, I'd make this book a mandatory read for all men! Gentlemen, to get your attention - you read this book, your chance of getting laid will increase by that much!!! And I'm not kidding, I'm speaking as a woman who's being on disastrous dates, where men didn't know how to dress or groom themselves, or how to eat properly, or how to read the vibe from their date. This little handbook will give you almost all the tips you need to know before going on a date. Of course it really covers more than JUST that, but I hardly think any man cares to improve themselves in anyway if that doesn't help with his chance of getting sex. The book touches on books, arts, music, grooming, dressing, romance and sex, etc. It's fun to read too.

Summary: My Dogma
Review: It seems as soon as I discovered this new word and that it fit me almost perfectly, that this book came out. As opposed to other views as this being a pop culture book and sales are only high because it is the new "it" thing, I believe it is a book that describes a new form of man. From the suggestions on what books to read to stimulate your mind, to the albums that it suggests to make your music tastes more ecclectic, I believe it is more of a book to inhance your life rather than to define a new social standing. I throughly enjoyed the breif histroy of all of the major art movements, and even found out things I had previously not known. I believe it is a must-have for any man who believes queer-eye has the last word in life, and for any man wishing to catch the eye of a lady.

Summary: Know someone with no style?
Review: Loved this book. Very funny. Bought it for my brother in law. He wears the worst clothes. No style and no taste. Easy book to follow. Hopefully he will throw away his tassled loafers now!

Summary: Excellent Book for Information For the Metrosexual Male
Review: Many tim bits of information from everything a man should know about dress, life, relationships, food, etc. Very helpful and a spice of good humour!

Summary: Don't need it, don't bother
Review: The contents of this book are so elementary and insubstantial that I can't see how anyone would benefit from reading it. If you are metrosexual already- you'll have picked all of this stuff up quickly- such as what the essential components of a stylish wardrobe are, basic Franch and Italian dining terminology and how to treat a lady on a date. If you're not metrosexual, you will probably roll your eyes as such poncing piffle and won't bother with it anyway.

Summary: Nothing really new here...
Review: There's not much in here that you won't find in the various Esquire guides, or in the much better _The Modern Gentleman_. But still some good advice. I'd say if you want a *complete* library of men's style books, then pick this up. Otherwise, give it a pass.
