Customer Reviews

Men, get the book.

I've found several great books on the subject of being a man and this one is going to go down as one of my favorites. It's not only informative, it's hilarous and I read it in no time flat. If you want a book that gets to the heart of the matter with a sense of humor, this is a great bet. Another great bet is The Art of Manliness: Classic Skills and Manners for the Modern Man.

If your a man, you must read

This is the ultimate guide to return us men to our rightful place as men. Clay Travis and the deadly hippos have created us a rulebook that if followed would make "men" men again.

There are ONLY two types of men

The Deadly Hippos present a humor laden look into expected stereotyped essence of being a man. There's 975 entries on what it takes or doesn't take to be a man broken into categories of Bar/Restaurants, Women, Manicants, Sports, and everything else. Man: The Book is completely sarcastic but you know you will be using many of these lines with your buddies. This covers everything from picking up women, sexual exploits, mocking other men for not ordering the hottest items from a menu or throwing like a girl, wasting beer, there are two and only two classes of men (hetero and not, there is no such thing as metro and you're just fooling yourself if you think there is), nickname using, and for the love of all that is holy - never owning a cat (unless you can put a football helmet on it). However, some rules contradict other rules but you're not really expected to catch that. Plain and simple, it's just darn funny. I laughed out loud so many times and had to read many rules to my wife and oldest son. It is adult based so the majority of the book is unsuitable for children but then, it's pretty sexist too yet all in good humor. Read it for what it is and laugh.

Great writers-great book.

Hilarious. Almost as good as author Clay Travis's other book, Dixieland Delight (plug plug).

Even though I'm a chick, this book is hilarious!

I got the book for my boyfriend and I can't stop reading it. It is hilarious! It's definitely something that everyone can read. I think my favorite is the "manican't" section. I highly recommend this one. Everyone will be talking about this and soon they will be quoting it, so hurry up and get a copy so you won't be left out!
