With touching on the different types of men, different types of women, what attracts one to the other and even touching on female and male brain patters, this book seems to have everything one would need and take only a short while to read. As shorter read at under 120 pages, I was able to start and finish the book in one sitting and am glad I did. I can easily say that this is one of those books that my mood would determine how I felt about it. I was in a high-spirited mood when I chose to read the book, and ultimately found the information to be non-offensive and brutally honest. Had I been in a little bit of a darker mood, maybe already a bit frustrated by something unrelated, I might not have enjoyed the story to the length I did.
Some of the points that are addressed include what different types of men and women look for in the opposite sex, how to communicate with women and also how to prove yourself using eye contact and body language. There's even a section included that addresses why some women can't seem to escape from the "dumb blonde" heading that follows them around. As a blonde myself, and rather intelligent one at that, I laughed along with the author at these points and found the humor to be entertaining.
One of the highlights that I have to point out from The Chauvinist's Guide to Modern Romance is the illustrations and photos that are included. The author has chosen very specific and fitting images to go along with the different sub-sections that he is discussing, and I felt like that was one of the main benefits that caused me to enjoy the book as much as I did. Had it just been straightforward writing without the illustrations, I may not have understood the humor to the level that the author intended.
I was pleased with the editing quality that had gone into the book, as I found no editing errors while reading. There did seem to be some unnecessary page breaks, but I felt like that could have easily been due to the format that I had chosen to read in versus what the author/publisher had intended. I rate The Chauvinist's Guide to Modern Romance4 out of 4 stars and would gladly recommend it to anyone who enjoys humor in their non-fiction, and possibly suggest as a gift to adolescent males. Although easy to assume the humor might be a bit off-putting to some, no worries, the humor isn't to the point of being crude or vulgar. Despite my enjoyment of the book, this one definitely isn't something that everyone would enjoy and pass along.
