Book Reviews of Why Do Men Have Nipples? Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini
Book Review: GREAT BOOK!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was hilarious. I have a good friend that I chat with via IM, so I totally understand the humor in the chatting transcripts. This book was very informative and contained alot of questions that I had thought about. Some I had not thought about but love them anyway.!! KUDOS to Leyner & Goldberg for a great book. Follow up book is just as good.Book Review: Waste of time and $
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is like a comedy movie that only has enough humor to make a preview. You go to the movie thinking it's going to be a riot, but the only funny parts were those in the preview. Why do men have nipples? It's an intriguing question and makes you think you're going to learn all sorts of trivia and interesting facts about human anatomy. WARNING: If you made a C or better in biology there's nothing earth shattering in this book. If you ever took a human anatomy class, you could've written this book. I got the CD to entertain me on a road trip. It was a big fat waste of time and money.Book Review: Great Bathroom Reading
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is entertaining and medically educational. Because the sections are short, it's great to pick up when you have a few minutes to spare or are in the bathroom. It's also something that can be read repeatedly, because the knowledge gained will inevitably be lost in a few weeks.
Why do men have nipples...? Excuse me, I have some reading to do.
Book Review: Can't imagine why this book got such a buzz
Summary: 1 Stars
When this book came out, I seemed to see reviews and publicity about it everywhere. I picked it up used the other day, and boy, am I glad I only paid 50 cents for it---that means I only wasted 50 cents. It's a book that fails on two levels. It tries to be mainly a humor book, but it's some bizarre form of humor that must only apply to the author's friends. In between chapters, for some reason the book tells of a wild party with a strange cast of characters, only vaguely medically related and completely not funny. There are also many dialogues between the authors which I guess are supposed to be hilarious but certainly are not. I truly felt both parts of the book were extremely odd and close to non-comprehensible. From a medical perspective, the book also fails quite miserably. The answers to questions are brief and silly. I am certainly no medical expert, but I can say I didn't learn a thing from their answers. They leaned heavily in the direction of 4th grade interests---lots of talk about bathroom issues and body gases.
If you are looking for humor, look elsewhere, and if you are looking for interesting medical facts, likewise. There ARE books which combine the two, for example, the Imponderable series by David Feldman, but this is not it. Amazing it ever got published.
Book Review: Starts Good, but then turns to potty humor
Summary: 2 Stars
The first chapter is good and sounds like a doctor wrote it, but then it turns to weird "chats" and potty humor. I am sorry I finished this book.
