Hard-Boiled Men

by Guy Golan

Follow under-sexed, over-analytical university professor Dr. Benjamin Wise, fresh off a horrific break-up, on a journey to reawaken his libido. Set against the backdrop of Asian massage parlors, University hallways and West Village anarchy, Hard-Boiled Men provides an honest and hilarious account of single life in New York City. The book exposes men's secret thoughts on the nature of love, marriage, and sexuality.Although Hard-Boiled Men is as likely to infuriate as entertain, Guy Jacobs' account of promiscuity and debauchery on the road to love speaks to our eternal quest for intimacy, home and finding out just who we are."Powerful, inspiring and heartfelt. Hard-Boiled Men is The Catcher in the Rye all grown up; there's a little bit of Ben Wise in every one of us."-Dr. Paul S. Lieber, Emerson Collegewww.hardboiledmen.com

At the time I picked up this book, I had moved back to my home state and was newly divorced. In some ways, the book was therapy. It had me laughing from page one all the way to the last. It was so easy to relate to Ben Wise. I have purchased it for family and friends and they have all told me the same thing, its a great book. Its one of those books that you will read more than once.

Perhaps one of the most entertaining books I've read in a long time. In more ways than one, we could all relate to the main protagonist, Ben Wise - his failures, limitations, struggles, his sadomasochistic approach to love, etc. Love how Guy Jacobs kept the story going and entertaining at the same time. The reading experience was so addictive that you will struggle putting down the book until you finish it.

For us immature men with chronic relationship problems...
