5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!
I gave this book to my sister-in-law for her birthday and we laughed for hours. Great observations about men. Definitely a girl book!

2.0 out of 5 stars eliminate the whole human race
my sister read this book, then asked me to read it and give her a "man's opinion". My reaction is probably not a typical "man's" reaction, but hopefully it makes some sense. I could just as easily have drawn up a list of 187 women to avoid. But after exhaustively enumerating every unpleasant character trait, that would leave me with no women left...

By A Customer

This review is from: 187 Men to Avoid (Paperback)

my sister read this book, then asked me to read it and give her a "man's opinion". My reaction is probably not a typical "man's" reaction, but hopefully it makes some sense. I could just as easily have drawn up a list of 187 women to avoid. But after exhaustively enumerating every unpleasant character trait, that would leave me with no women left who did not fit into at least one of the 187 categories. The fact of life is this, whether in a intimate relationship, a friendship or just a working environment, every person we meet is going to have some characteristic that we will find objectionable. And guess what? So do we! I do, you do, and the Browns who wrote the book do. The secret to a successful social life is accepting peoples bad points and loving a person for their flaws as well as their good points.

I'm not saying there certainly are men that shoudl be avoided; drug dealers, sociopaths, abusive and manipulative men. But to go to the extreme that this book has gone to will make you very lonely for a very long time.
