Funny at times but really leaned into the low hanging fruit and tried to make a fruit salad out of it. I can take a few pages of fart jokes not nine.

The Alphabet of Manliness

Show More
Finally, a book that guarantees your balls will be stomped; a book so manly that it will make even the burliest of men (and in some cases, the burliest of women) feel inadequate. So manly, it needs to be "The Alphabet of Manliness". This collection of sacred writings may very well be the greatest compilation of all things manly throughout history. This book is only for the saltiest, hairiest, most rugged son of a bitch out there. However, it would be selfish to keep it for myself, so feel free to buy a copy. This humble tome of wisdom is a tribute to all men who toil away at work every day, getting their balls busted, or busting balls. If you can't handle the punch to the colon I'm about to deliver to you, look on the bright you'll save a fortune on Halloween when kids come to your door to pick apart your candy ass. On the other hand, if you feel comfortable with the risk of having your ass neatly packaged and handed to you with all the trimmings, cut the foreplay and crack the book open already.

Read this on a recommendation by a friend. A light, quick read, it's funny if you're not easily offended. Takes an alphabetical look at manliness (ex: A is for Ass-kicking, P is for Pirates, etc.)It enjoys stomping on the fine line between politically incorrect satire and just flat out political incorrectness.

Men are awesome, and we do some awesomely cool stuff. All explained in the book...
For a casual read; good bathroom material. Humorous yet rather obscene in parts, a must read for any man! Pseudo-misogynistic ladies, so watch out ;)

Perhaps the most unabashedly sexist thing I've ever read. Many parts of it were hilarious to the point of 5 stars; but many other parts were just downright unfunny. Hence the middle-o-the-road rating (though now that I think of it, 3 out of 5 stars is technically better than average. Why can't we have a 6 star system, the better to signify a so-so status?) Anyway: thanks guy! I'm sure all your sexism is merely a parody.

This book is pure awesome, shaped into a book, with a cover of bacon and beef jerky. It will kick you ass it's so good, and you'll come back begging for more. The truth espoused within its pages should be required reading for people the world over, simply to ensure the continuation of life as we know it on this planet.

This is probably one of the worst things I have seen written down on paper. I got this book secondhand and I am choosing not to keep it. I read a few chapters and skimmed the book. I don't think my opinion would change if I read it in depth. So many people are claiming this is satire and that Maddox is a brilliant satirist (also a claim by him, himself) and that his website is really great as well. While he does sometimes partake in satire, satire requires an object you are making fun of and highlight the stupidity of. This book does not have that object. He takes masculinity to its extremes, including being a horrible person because of it, but who is he highlighting the stupidity of? He actually does feel the way he is in this book, though a bit more toned down. He is a sexist prick who views women as objects. If anything, he is highlighting his own stupidity. It seems like everyone has forgotten, or never learned, the definition of satire. This book is old, and it has not aged well, however I think this is still disgusting for 2006. I am honestly surprised the ratings are as high as they are. I am only reviewing this negatively because it needs to be said since there aren't a lot of people doing so. I think the worst part of the book was the guide on how to sexually assault women. I am wishing the best for the women in this man's life (if there are any) and that they get far far away from him. I am also wishing the best for the women/victims in the lives of men who review this positively (if they exist) who also take the time to massively self-report how horrible they are.

Its pretty clear this is one of those self mocking books good for cheap laughts but at some points I can´t help but think the writer believes in the bullshit hes spewing. Some of the jokes are pretty funny and some give the impression this was written by a 16 year old middle schooler whose been left back one to many times who woke up one day and decided to write a book after being inspired by old ´´the man show´´ reruns

OK. Yeah. It's funny in his own little twisted sense of humor, but it's not a book to be taken seriously. It's stupidity, really and the handbook for macho men (read: the most obnoxious and ridiculously narcissistic male figures in the world). So, yea, for a cheap laugh, read it. No other reason.
