In these modern topsy-turvy times in the 21st century, it is good to see someone come to help us lads be Men.

Birmingham & Flinthart have given us all we need to know about being men, including:
* how to tie a bow tie,
* how to land a jumbo,
* how to cook (to show women we aren't cavemen),
* how to spot a cheap suit,
* cars to avoid on the freeway,
* superstars of philosophy.

If this book cannot help you, you are either the perfect man or way beyond help.

This book has a wealth of information and I would not hesitate to say that EVERY guy should have a copy of this book in his bookshelf!

It contains invaluable instructions like 'how to land a jumbo','how to cheat at cards' and gives instructions on what should be in your toolbox and what cleaning you have to do around the house and what you don't! Not to mention the 'quick and easy food recipes to impress girls' and job instructions ie 'how to ask for a raise'.

Everyone I've shown this book to has been desperate to borrow it and I've had to steal it back on a number of occasions....

"How to Be a Man" is recommended for guys who doubt their masculinity. Some highlights include:

* how to apologize to a woman when you haven't done anything wrong
* how to grovel and beg for mercy so you don't get in trouble
* how to cook a gormet meal using canned peas, Morningstar bacon strips, and a bottle of ketchup
* how to go on a inexpensive date and get a return on your investment
* how to make your cheap car look more impressive with a paint roller and a can of latex wall paint
* how to apply makeup to accent your manly features
* how to cry, so you can make a woman think you are emotional and caring
* how to choose the right socks for any occasion

And I'm not sure why it has so many stars. I expected a thoroughly tongue in cheek guide on how to be manly. What I got was a guide on how to be a metrosexual. Run away from fights if possible, can be good advise but not what I expect in a guide like this. They say to buy a suit for a grand because it'll make you look good, I say that it'll also drain my bank account and force me to live on instant ramen for a week. They say eat lots of vegetables, I say meat is manly. Granted it has a few good tidbits but in my opinion it is not what they advertised. Very disappointing, save your money.

This book is genius. Just sheer genius. Except for the bits that Birmingham wrote, of course. The man is a dreadful, dreadful hack. I hear he can't even afford his own drugs any more... by God, it's a travesty I tell you. In fact, I hesitate to demand that you buy this book for fear of supporting his disgusting habits -- except, of course, that obviously this Flinthart chap (no relation, naturally) is the kind of suffering genius who needs every iota of support you can provide...
