5.0 out of 5 stars A long lost friend, March 4, 2004

This review is from: What Do Women Want? (Hardcover)

I read this book at least 15 years ago. Unfortunately I then lost my copy. Despite the passing years I have always remembered it fondly, and will now be ordering myself another copy.
Blissfully funny, you can barely turn a page without finding something to smile, gasp or say "Oh my God, no!" about. As one of the other reviewers indicated was likely, I read it cover to cover without stopping, and now can't wait to read it again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun, a pity it's out of print., February 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: What Do Women Want? (Hardcover)

My teachers always told me that there's no such thing as a perfect score, that't why the 8 instead of a 9. Greenberg's book has a title like a self-help manual. Its content will amuse, arouse and give pause for thought. Greenberg's sense of the ridiculous approaches John Irving's and his mix of characters is hilarious. Well worth reading, and rereading.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was the first book that made me laugh..., July 11, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: What Do Women Want? (Paperback)

You are in your wife's best friend because she invited you in a pretty naughty way. She tell's you to wait a moment while she goes to her bedroom, you are very nervous and decide to take off your clothes and wait...
She call's you from the bedroom, the lights are out, you open the door, turn on the light and SUPRISE! SUPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! everybody is in the room, even your wife.
That's just the beging of this hilarious quest that will take from sharing your apartment with two young girls to an island were you will practice canivalism!

I promise you'll laugh.
