Review :
I was lucky enough to read the author's essay first. This is the only book where I couldn't stop laughing out loud. Since I'm on my third marriage every essay hit home and sent me back in time. This book is must for every guy who needs to know that they are not alone in frustration while dealing with women. This book is seriously an heirloom which will passed to my son!!...

I recommend it with enthusiasm to both women and men. I even read exerpts from it to my husband so many times that he started to say,...
