I ordered several copies for my friends. We loved the author's surprising conclusions. Silkstone dared to go where no other woman has gone before ... and she returned to share her adventures. 527 Naked Men & One Woman is a feel good book - especially for those on the exit side of a relationship! It's also a big help to read BEFORE getting involved.

This was a great read, witty and insightful. I really got inside the head and the heart of the author as she shares her adventures while obtaining these interviews. It influences my thoughts on how men look at relationships and makes me ever more thankful for the strong relationship I have in my life -- I sure have been lucky!

Barbara Silkstone has done a public service for women everywhere with her funny, frank, and often surprising look inside the hearts and minds of 527 men. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Barbara Silkstone hits a new high in Do-It-Yourself books. Wanting to know what men really thought, she went out and asked them! Silkstone's goal was to interview 1,000 men about women, love, and relationships. She buckled at 527 guys, but not before collecting some of the juiciest tales! 527 Naked Men & One Woman - The Adventures of a Love Investigator is: Unique, Informative, Cautionary and Great Fun! I recommend this book for any woman during, before or after a relationship.

From the man who is totally committed to the man who sounds like he ought to literally be committed, Barbara Silkstone offers an interesting look into the tormented world of a man's mind.

Barbara is able to capture how men constantly wrestle their inner demons. Even if he's the model spouse, he is not immune to the thoughts and desires that afflict every man. A brilliant look into why some men won't allow themselves to love while others rise up and conquer their demons. The differences between what men and women think about sex,
love, and relationships has never been clearer.

Wow! Do they really think that? What are these creatures called men? Barbara Silkstone takes the reader on her journey to find a man who knows how to love. As I read her lively stories, I laughed, shed a few tears, and wanted to kill some of these men that don't have a clue about women and love. The good, the bad, and the ugly revealed themselves to Silkstone in many surprising tales of vulnerability and gut honesty. The quotes alone are worth the price of the book, but it's so much more than that. It's also a bittersweet story of one woman's search for love. Did she ever have it and where did it go?

Ladies, if you want to get into the mind of any single man out there, you have got to read this one. I do not think that any woman or man for that matter out there ever imagined what men are really thinking about love, marriage and sex

527 Naked Men and One Woman is not just an exploration of what goes on in mens' minds. It also takes an excellent look at the female psyche, which could help women understand their behaviors toward men in a new light. Silkstone writes with a simplicity that is beautiful, humorous, and touching, no matter your sex. All men and women - single, divorced, or even married - should curl up with this book and see what self-discoveries come about.

Alrighty then, let's examine some fundamental axioms:

Men and women are inherently different; there is indeed a communication gap; and relationships are exceedingly complex and difficult.

Armed with these Truths, self-proclaimed "love investigator" Barbara Silkstone--a lady with ample resources, and ample time on her hands, it appears--grabs a tape recorder and endeavors to examine the male psyche by interviewing hundreds of this shaggy subspecies, from sea to shining sea. Her "discoveries" can be found in her humorous yet uneventful book, 527 NAKED MEN AND ONE WOMAN: THE ADVENTURES OF A LOVE INVESTIGATOR.

Author Silkstone interviews men, young and old, from all walks of life, regarding their love lifes (or lack thereof). Some of what her interviewees tell her is jarring; some of it funny; much of it bland; yet the reader can depend on Silkstone to interject her own thoughts and reactions to what is being conveyed into her microphone. And what Silkstone thinks, and how she reacts, is always entertaining and delightfully humorous. Yet when the reader finishes this book, what has he or she learned, by jove? We learn that:

Men and women are inherently different; there is indeed a communication gap; and relationships are exceedingly complex and difficult.

527 NAKED MEN AND ONE WOMAN: THE ADVENTURES OF A LOVE INVESTIGATOR is a quick, fun read, yet this love investigation turns up nada. And I want to know why the one woman isn't naked? Would've made for a better cover.
