The Style Guy

Rating:
Summary: True to form.
Review: Firstly, you have to like Glenn O'Brien's sarcastic attitude to enjoy his book. Pick up a GQ and read his column first, if you haven't already.

My only critcism is that he spends too much time talking about things other than clothing, when there's still so much more that could be explained. I'm not sure this is entirely his fault, as he set out to print the answers to his most frequently asked questions. Still, often the things we need answered the most are the questions we never even thought to ask.

What I do like, and what makes the book a worthwhile purchase, is that O'Brien represents clearly for us the difference between style and fashion. Most people who would buy this book already have a subscription to GQ, at least. This guide helps us steer clear of the latest faux pas the fashion world is trying to sell.

Summary: Help Keep this Man Employed
Review: It's nice to see that leftover 70's trend merchants can still make a living re-packaging their columns. Please buy the book now, since nearly all of this "advice" will stop making sense the moment the Rat Pack Revival evaporates.

Summary: A Bore
Review: O'Brien's columns for GQ are useless, this book is ever more so. Sarcasm and acting like a smart-ass are his trademarks. Both are absolutely boring from such a witless person.
