Book Reviews of The Alphabet of Manliness
Book Review: Incredible.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is absolutely incredible. There is nothing like it. Although Maddox's site has been slacking lately, this book makes up for it a hundred times over. I found myself laughing out loud during most of the chapters. This book made me realize that Maddox is, and always has been, 100% correct in everything that he has ever published: in his point of view. It is wonderful to be enlightened by such a brilliant man who rises above us all to point out the faults of... everything. I can't wait for the next book.
If you don't own this book: BUY IT NOW.
If you own it, BUY IT AGAIN.
And make sure to tell your friends, because this book will be long remembered and talked about.
Book Review: Much better than I anticipated.
Summary: 5 Stars
As a 4-years and counting op in Maddox's irc channel (as though that gives me some kind of credibility), I am pretty familiar with his style and writings. I pre-ordered the book even though I expected it to disappoint because I'd heard so much of his stuff. However, I read through it in less than 2 days and found my self LOL'ing at work many times (the people at the bank were not amused). There was only one thing I picked out that referenced the writing on his website, and it was a brief sentence. The rest of the book was all original material and did not disappoint. Critics can say all they want - the book was witty, humorous, and well thought out. Definitely worth the miniscule [...].Book Review: Only worth it to support maddox's funny website
Summary: 1 Stars
Maddox has a great website, with really funny articles.
This book... has pictures telling you how to kick people in the nuts.
I wish Maddox had written a book instead like he does his website. Random things which come to his mind to rant about. Instead, it almost seems like the writing in this book was forced on a topic which really just wasn't entertaining. The only parts which were worth reading, were when he went off on tangents in the middle of things.
I only suggest you purchase this book to support Maddox's website. You will laugh at a few parts, but the rest of the time you wonder if the same author wrote the book and the website.
Book Review: A hilarious read
Summary: 5 Stars
I was expecting to get some good laughs out of the book like I do at the website--"some good laughs" is an insulting understatement. Flipping through the book and reading the text along with great comedic illustrations gave me some of the best laughs I've had in a while. I'll think I'm finished laughing at the end of a sentence, but the next sentence gets me laughing even harder.
I am excited to have such a book that I can hold onto for many years to share with others. Having it in hardcover for such a low price on Amazon is a steal!
Thanks, Maddox! You deserve everything you get out of this book, monetary and otherwise--keep up the great work!
Book Review: Maddox is the savior of HuMANity
Summary: 5 Stars
After I read a few chapters of the Alphabet of Manliness I grew more facial hair than I've ever had before. My attempts to shave were futile, all the razors I had broke into pieces, scissors bent, weed whacker exploded. My girlfriend started bitching at me for spending too much time reading the book so I flung it at her ovaries. They ruptured and now she's in the hospital what a pansy. Good thing this book is hardcover (because it's a well known fact that paperback is for sissies) or else the pages would have bent and I would've been pissed and shoved my foot up her cakehole. Maddox thinks of everything.
Oh yeah this book kicks ass.
