Book Reviews of Why Do Men Have Nipples? Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini
Book Review: Funny, interesting, entertaining, and "helpful"!
Summary: 4 Stars
Somehow any further compliment to this book seems meaningless amongst the sea of positive reviews here. However, I still want to express my heartfelt appreciation to some authentic answers to some of my life long doubts, including:-
Does spicy food cause ulcers?
Why are yawns contagious?
Why do men have nipples?
Does circumcision lessen the fun of sex?
Why do men wake up in the morning with an erection?
Can a man run out of sperm?
plus 157 other questions you would be very interested in their answers.
In short, it's knowledgeable and entertaining. A great resource for chat, too. Dont miss it.
Book Review: The 411 on all things gross and goofy
Summary: 4 Stars
Funnier than the alarmist 1960s "classic" EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SEX * BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK. This post-modern medical answer book is more of a "Goofus and Gallant explain it all to you, and then some." It is mostly presented as short medical explanations based on questions doctors often get asked at cocktail parties after the other guests' inhibitions drop from their alcohol consumption. These tidbits include sexual and scatalogical curiosities, old wives' tales, and medical oddities bordering on urban legends. These informative, if odd, explanations are interspersed with verbatim email and IM exchanges (typos left uncorrected) between the coauthors--the bona fide medical doctor Goldberg (Gallant) and medical tourist Leyner (in the Goofus role). They have no illusions about the literary merit of their collaboration and are quite frank about the room in the house where their book is most likely to be read and shelved. Don't throw about your AMA Guide to Medicine, but DO read WHY DO MEN HAVE NIPPLES? for the fun of it. If laughter is the best medicine, you'll probably extend your life by at least another week or two.Book Review: Conversation starter...
Summary: 4 Stars
Whether you just want to put it on the table or read it, it's interesting either way. It is a conversation piece on its own, inside gives you lots of interesting tidbits for you keep a whole crowd entertained for hours...Book Review: A Flop
Summary: 2 Stars
The fact that I bought this book shows that I had good intentions and good hopes. I was sorely disappointed. The authors try to make themselves swingers and hipsters and whatever. This was a total turnoff.
Some of the information was both interesting and informative, but there was too much garbage.
Book Review: Funny and entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. A lot of the questions answered in the book are things that many people have wondered about. It's an easy read and the question sections are very informative and entertaining. Sometimes you will laugh out loud. Other times you will roll your eyes...the part of the book that sucks is the "witty banter" from Dr. Goldberg and Leyner's IM conversations. They are not funny and not nearly as interesting as the actual questions. Still, read it. It's good.
