Summary: A title
Review: I could say that Bukowski (and this, quite possibly his best work,) is a misunderstood writer but that would be for the sake of those who all too quickly label him as one thing or another. Yes, his books are not pretty. They speak of sex as sex not "making love" and of booze and gambling and all the dirty things Bukowski usually wrote about. Many insist they served as fuel for his ego, as if no other writer wrote for that reason. Sure. Keep thinking that "A Tale of two Cities" or "The Great Gatsby" or "Even Cowgirls get the Blues" was written just for you. You're wrong.A book like "Women" comes along and forces us to look closly at the disgusting little thoughs, feelings, and actions that we would rather ignore. It is a liberating thing to read such a book. Stick your head all the way in. Thank you.

Summary: Fun to read, but not his best.
Review: Everything by Bukowski is a lot of fun to read, but this one really doesn't go anywhere. Post Office and his short stories are much better. Don't let your girlfriend (or even worse, her mother) flip through this thing while it's on your coffee table, you'll be sorry!

Summary: Absolutely ridiculous.
Review: This is a meaningless piece of fluff BUT it's not even entertaining! Is this Bukowski's secret fantasy: to have hoardes of beautiful women chase after him for sex? Dream on. Poorly written (for anyone above 12 years of age).

Summary: Clearification.
Review: In an interview, Bukowski made it clear that "90%" of his accounts of Hank Chinaski are actually direct accounts from his life. If this is true, Women will paint you a really explicit picture of an interestingly distorted life.

Summary: Reality
Review: Women is a book about life. The life that we can't possibly imagine. Most of us simply go through life without even a hint of Chinaksi (I'm convinced he is no different that Charles himself) in our lives. Those days that do have a little Bukowski in us we remember for eternity. In Women, Bukowski writes about a ugly old man who has gone unloved for too long. But a change comes over this lonely man as he begins more and more relationships with women. His irrational thought makes any real person laugh and smile. He speaks about them, with them, with a complete disregard for everything, except the reader. He knows how to make the common person laugh; at his incredible optimism, and his look on life. Chinaski may in fact be a lot like our shadow. Those of you who have seen Fight Club, might know all about this.

Summary: 10+ for the slanted of minds
Review: Not for the faint of heart. Don't plan on putting this down. Bukowski wraps his own mangled background around an unexpected onslaught of crazed relationships at the peak of his career.

Summary: an easy read
Review: The bookstore clerk summed this up as one of Buk's better works and said, "If you can overlook the fact the main character is a misogynist (seeing I was female), its a good book." The main character, Henry Chinaski, details sexual exploits with women in a raw, uncolored manner, which actually makes it tolerable and even entertaining, although by the middle of the book there is still no hint of character growth. Perhaps that is the point, I thought, until the very end. Sorry to give away the end, but if character growth is important to you, you would be disappointed even if I didn't tell you, because it is poorly done (it is great until it becomes a "happy ending" kind of book but that is only the last page and you can overlook that and pretend it didn't happen if you are so inclined). Somewhere around the middle, I began to get bored because his attitude and actions became too predictable. In spite of all this, or maybe because of it, I enjoyed this book and stayed up all nite reading it. Henry appears to suffer from an alienating depression in which he views the whole world as if he was a different species and is just kind of testing things out, or doing what Feels Right. To sum it up: the book is about going from that lustful being in love feeling you get at first to finding out things that annoy you in a person, and most people overlook those things; Henry does not...
