The Rules

Funny book and so true! My husband loves it. Easy read. Great gift for a man of any age.

Very Entertaining

If you enjoy reading the "Rules" in Esquire, you'll really enjoy finding so many in one place. I read mine and then packaged it up for a gift for my college-aged son.

It's Funny Because It's True

Rule #97: "Never trust a man who claps backs." Rule $95: "Rightfielders are the ugliest baseball players." Rule #24: "A man in a minivan is half a man." All true, and all very funny. While it's written with the tongue firmly planted in cheek, any self-respecting man could do a lot worse than following Esquire's rules...especially rule #21: "Talk half as much as you listen."

a clever take with some truth and much needed humor

I bought this originally off the $1 bargain table as a stocking stuffer but found it so amusing I had to order a copy for myself. Its a tongue-in-cheek take on rules of the man's world with enough truth to strike a chord and provide much needed humor into this complicated topic. Makes a good (and cheap) gift.
