Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Women is a man's book, I guess.
Review: Deal with it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terribly funny
Review: Really it is.

The only way this book wouldn't be funny is if the reader had no sense of humor or were dead or both.

;-)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hank at his "best" womenwise
Review: It's Hank/Charles drunker and dirtier than ever. He dealed with his hate/love to women in all of his books, but this one is 100% dedicated to the issue. With Hank and his alchoolic attitude the author finds the courage to say what many men really think about women, but would never admit. The form the author uses is rude as usual but at least he is coherent to himself and his readers.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: unfunny
Review: bukowski deludes himself when he prefaces his works by commenting, "these are my funny stories" becausereaders will determine the value of any humor in the work. bukowski uses words such as "pussyhairs" to stir up our mirth. hamostly this novel rubs lots of "friends" and "lovers" noses in some real disgusting and badly written garbage and fetid waste products of the writer.it's not a good book, even if it's his best selling novel. neither is it in the least humorous unless the reader communicates in oinks.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book was Terrible
Review: I can't express my disapointment strongly enough. Ham on Rye was one of my favorites but I thought this one was filthy and boring. Don't read it unless you're into porno masquerading as literature.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: under a bridge, because a woman
Review: This is my favorite Bukowski's book. If you already know Bukowski this is a must, if you don't, this a great starting point. I read this book often and it makes me laugh and think all the time. enjoy it and don't forget to drink some beer or vodka : )

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read it with a beer!!
Review: This was the first Bukowski book I ever read and the first novel I read on my own (without it being assigned for a class!) in a long time. A friend of mine had a couple of Buk's books lying around and this title intrigued me. I read the first page and I was hooked. It was a very easy and enjoyable read. I was surprised at how an author could be so hilarious, vulgar, and honest at the same time. I could easily relate to many of Chinaski's gripes with women and to his many (and I mean many!) drinking bouts. Although this might not be for everyone (especially the easily offended! Bukowski gets extremely graphic at times), those with an open mind and a sense of humor should find this book delightful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Completely honest! Right to the point of this man's sex life
Review: Bukowski has that way of writing to let the reader know just how Hank feels. In this book, like in every book He seems to cut the bull and get right to the point. Here's a fifty tear old man sleeping with twenty year old's, I love it !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fame,sex and drunken whimsy from the Lord of the drunks
Review: Here is Bukowski once again---older,a little more famous and getting women-more women than he can handle.In this often hilarious book Bukowski exaimins sex and the benifit of notiarity on how much you will recieve. He uses women for gratification,as drinking partners yet in this book as his unwilling muse.One female aquaintence makes him promise not to include her(ie there sexual activites)in the book.Not a problem Baby! The story basically follows a number of affairs and romances in which Bukowski honastly and brutaly relates what it's like being the sought rather than being the chaser.Brillient characters,poor neighbourhoods and many hangovers add another stalworth to the drunken's ones cannon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Bukowski's best
Review: For some reason, reading Bukowski always gives me the urge to drop out of school, plunge into the seamy underworld inhabited by Chinaksi, and put pen to paper. Never actually did it of course. The point is, truly great literature inspires. Bukowski's Women inspires. This is a thoroughly captivating read with an especially fine ending.
