"An interesting perspective on life"
Being a librarian in Mississippi I deeply appreciated Mr. Kean humorous view of life. I personally know several men for whom this is the first book they read since high school and that wasn't yesterday.
This is THE funniest book I've read in years.
It brings understanding to the male-female relationship.We women have wondered for years, "Why don't you just stop and ask?" Now we can know. That mournful groan we get when we ask our man to stop at the grocery store and pick up one simple little item has been explained.
This is a must read for anyone who needs a good laugh or wants an in-depth look at the workings of the male brain. S.K. Conner ... Read more
