Hilarious....

While on vacation in Florida, I stopped by a B&N to look for something to read while on the flight home. I had already read all the magazines I like and didn't want anything too serious. I was checking out some books in the humor section and stumbled on this one. I am glad I did.
This is straight up hilarious nonsense from the mind of Maddox, the superman behind "The Best Page in the Universe".
I had a day left in the sun, and spent it voraciously gorging myself on this book, finishing it before dinner.
Truly funny, but truly brutal, this book walks you through the alphabet through the eyes of a brutal dude.
If you don't laugh out loud when you read this book, check your pants - you might have soiled yourself trying to keep it in.

Not Worth Your Time

After having some experience with the website I thought Maddox was a person who could validate anything he spoke of. Every argument and every statement he makes is instantly backed up with his arsenal of biased opinion. Maddox is at times very funny and his website has made many people keep close tabs on anything he does, such as writing books.

In this case, he clearly states the only purpose of this book is to make money. I hope he succeeded, but in the overall process he failed to create a book. Instead, he just wrote 26 essays based on old and tired jokes. Sure some of it is great and I did manage to laugh out loud several times, but the point is this is not literature. I must admit I did want a break from the same old literature I was currently into and expected something different. But this just let me down.

Much like Sex, Drugs, and Coco Puffs, this collection of pointless stories destroys the author's creativity and humor. Chuck Klosterman and Maddox both try too hard when they write and they come off as lame.

This book was still funny enough to give it a few stars as I didnt hate it, but I can't say that I will ever read it again. Go to his website and read his articles, they're better. Otherwise, keep this book in the bathroom and read a passage or two from time to time.

Couldn't stop laughing!

I read 3 pages and broke my collarbone due to severe laughter. I read on and learned a little more about manliness. By the time I was done with the book, I decided to fuse my collarbone back to my chest by simply welding it back on.






Not that i needed it . . .

I like to think I'm pretty manly, and in my own way I am. But there's so much Manliness that I never even knew of! Now I'll be able to increase my Manliness tenfold! If you're a man you may want to pick this up just to make sure you've got all your bases covered. If you're not a man then get it just to see what you're missing out on.

Loyal Fan

I've been a fan of Maddox for some time and I thought his book was great. I think you'll definitely like it, but if you don't like his website, you're not going to like his book so make sure you check it first. Also,if you're looking for manly books, then I would recommend I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell or FRATIRE (also called College Life Extreme?). Both authors have websites so check them out too before you waste your money on a book you might not like.

From the publisher:

This is the only sentence in the entire book that will give you a chance to adjust your face; take your time, because it?s about to be rocked off?permanently.

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 shaved: The Alphabet of Manliness. This collection of sacred writings may very well be the greatest compilation of all things manly throughout history. Here?s a small sample of the ass-kickery found within these revered pages of outright manliness:

People getting drop-kicked in the face

Phallic aggression

Violence in excess of what has come to be known as excessive

Garish disregard for the well-being of children

Contempt for animals, women, and other cultures

Intimidating rhetoric

Obscure penile references

The triumph of flannel over good taste

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 side: 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.
