a magazine article re-packaged as a slick book 2 out of 5 stars.

This slim, shiny volume can slip into the palm of your hand or into your pocket but not on your bookshelf b/c i don't see how you can read it after flipping through it more than once. It has the feel of one of those mini-books you see on display at the local Borders, like The Little Book on Zen. In short, it's a novelty book.I bought this book because I enjoy the show "Queer Eye on the Straight Guy" and was intrigued to find out that Ted Allen (the Food guy)co-wrote this book. But I was disappointed to learn that it is basically a bunch of pithy aphorism-like setnences that is ALWAYS followed by a cheeky joke or sarcastic comment. While amusing to read in a magazine article format (why, like Esquire!) I was looking for something more substantial a la Queer Eye. Y'know, some tips, some ideas with the overall goal of improving your sex life and getting your mojo back on track.
Instead, it's a multi-font joke book with "advice" like don't wear black socks in bed. Wacka wacka.
Think I'll stick to watching Queer Eye. That seems to do more to help a guy's game than this weak book.
Editorial Review:
"Like their previous books, this tongue-in-cheek guide to success between the sheets is based on the magazine's popular feature 'Things a Man Should Know.' The sound advice and humor at men's expense may delight women even more than it does men: ménage à trois, the authors wisely advise, for example, is French for 'in your dreams.'"--Publishers Weekly. "...a witty and literate book. It's a fast and funny read, full of sly suggestions, innuendo, charming facts and figures, and the kind of advice even a woman could love."--Bridalguide.com. "If your man has trouble motivating himself to get off the couch and exercise, he'll be happy to hear this exciting stat...doing the mattress mambo three times a week can burn 7,500 calories a year, the equivalent of running 75 miles."--Cosmopolitan.
