I am a normal maladjusted man but I could not relate to this at all. It is like a schoolboy expounding wisdom and experience after reading the last edition of the News of the World; or page 3 of the Sun. Maybe it is because I am twenty years older than Christian. I could not find any humour as all his subjects are just sad "couldn't possibly tell the truth" type dilemmas. In fact it was all a bit sad. But then if you like wacky anecdotes involving hair and other body parts there may be a lot to commend this.
I could only manage the first of the 3 CD's and have no stomach for the other two. Though I have had a quick listen while penning this opinionated review. Still as it was only a quid I can use the jewel case so I'll give it two stars.
Actually I am a real audio book fan and this is indeed well read. It is a quick delivery but obviously read not spoken. And read buy yer actual dahn saaf accented author has to be a bonus. OK "free stars" is my last offer guv.

This book was in my local library and as I had not heard of either Christian O'Connell or the Men Commandments I was curious.
I found it to be well written and highly entertaining, and had to check and ensure that my wife was still at home as Christian's description of his wife was so true to the way that I imagine mine to be that I thought they must be related.
I did wonder how he managed to write the book and remain living and actually wrote to him and asked if he was a re-incarnation of his former self following it's publication. He replied that he now knew how Salmon Rushdie felt and that he had gone into hiding.
To me, it was a book that you could open at virtually any page and find something amusing or true to life. I have recommended it to many of my friends as, a must read. Christian has put down on paper the subtle differences between men and women in a light hearted manner that is so true to life.
To me it was thoroughly enjoyable and I can thoroughly recommend it.

What a saviour you have proved to be to mankind. The book completely captures what it's like to live life as a married man in the twenty first century. Reading it has proved life changing as I'm no longer going round wondering why the women in my life are so batty and why they just don't get 'stuff' that I think (or don't think) and do (or don't do)!
I virtually pissed myself laughing out loud at some (actually most) of the observations in the book and the logging of the gene differences is the funniest and most true analysis of genetics to have been undertaken!! Surely a nobel prize of some sort will be winging its way to you before the end of the year.
I don't know how many copies of the book you've sold but I must be responsible for a significant proportion as I've recommended it to every mate, mate's wife and passing strangers that I've encountered.
You are a liberator of men and relationships and the book should be a standard text in all schools (life skill courses), Relate sessions and divorce pre-hearings. I can feel the divorce rate statistics tumbling over the coming months and years as the text takes hold in society - placed alongside the Oxford Concise Dictionary and the Bible on the book shelves of millions of homes.
Other reviews here say its all been said before in other books - who cares, I havent read them and this one's great!!

My God what absolute crappola...
Seriously I think I've read a book with the exact same title and the exact same content before but by a different author, this is in no way original or amusing. Read more

Very funny, what on earth is "Joe" talking about?
Some people who are witty and funny on TV/Radio write books that are the complete opposite. Christian hasn't. Read more
