Book Reviews of Men Are Better Than Women
Book Review: Not So Good
Summary: 1 Stars
I honestly hope this is really meant to be a joke. I wouldn't be all that surprised if he was using the guise of satire to tell people what he really thought about women. Anyone who thinks that this is true to life needs a reality check. I really hate to see people so anti-feminism in the reviews. *rolls eyes*
Now, taking it out of offensive context it wasn't all that well written. As a woman, I can take a good chick joke but he just was repetitive. There are only so many jokes you can make about women getting pregnant and being whiners. It could have been a lot funnier if he had taken a different approach. He could have had a lot more fun with it.
I'd like to see a companionship book to this on why women are better. >_<
Summary of Men Are Better Than Women
Through a process of exhaustive man research he calls "keeping his eyes open," Dick Masterson has compiled a Magnum-size list of the ways men are better than women. It is an infallible compendium of man's greatness, filled with the most egregiously fallacious arguments ever put to words, but with some kind of miraculous, rock-solid man logic dripping like motor oil from every sentence. It is a manifesto more memorable than bullshit like High Fidelity or which Axe baby powder Maxim thinks you should slap on your nuts before clubbing, more chock-full of devastating man quotes than Oscar Wilde with two wangs. Most important, it is the only one of its kind. In Men Are Better Than Women, Dick Masterson dispenses logic from his man mouth into the eyes of his male readers like some kind of mighty mother man eagle with nutrient-rich word vomit. It's a book that makes you feel like driving a train into a dynamite factory and then tearing a telephone book apart with your bare hands, just because that's the way men have always done it.Masterson's chapters are simple and self-contained, demand no commitments from readers, and have an immediate payoff. Men Are Better Than Women is a dangerous work of satire -- not dangerous in a revolutionary sense, but dangerous in that it walks the razor-thin line between cruelty and absurdity. That line is called hilarious.
