[Heidi · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was a hilarious read! You should check this out, I was laughing from page to page as Alison took me through the wonderous and confusing land of men. This is a definate pick up read for girlie book clubs everywhere.

[Erin · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun bit of sexism. Good for a coffeetable book, bathroom read, and a way to get confused stares on the L. Embarrassing how long I took to read it, though. Its generally a fast read.

Hilarious and timeless. If I had a daughter, I'd make her read it on her 21st birthday.
