1.0 out of 5 stars Why do ignorant people write books? 17 May 2013
Reading any more than a few lines of this pile of nonsense is enough to turn reasonable people into murderers. Warning: do not read! Sexist, offensive, stupid, wrong, inaccurate....

3.0 out of 5 stars Bursting at the seams with delight 2 Aug 2012
A true tour-de-force. Not a crease is left un-pressed or a seam left unstitched in this wonderful appraisal of all things trouserly in the context of the feminine form. The sheer audaciousness of the writing defies description. This is cutting edge contemporary writing at its very best. Quite why this book is not up there with the likes of "Three Collars Blue - an appraisal of the shirt in contemporary Poland " and "Hose life is it anyway? - a critique in praise of Nylon Stockings" is beyond me. Indeed I might go so far as to suggest that this work may supplant the great magnum opus "Gussets - an inside story". Full of rich insights into the perception of the female form as viewed from behind clearly written by someone with a clear appreciation and understanding of the feminine form. Anecdotes and quips a-plenty. I laughed until I stopped. I await the second volume with eager anticipation. I am in fact, panting at the prospect of what delights this author will turn-up with next!

In this book, Mr. Marchessini says what misogynists have been thinking for years: women should pick their clothing based entirely on what makes men's genitals the most tumescent. And, further, that not dressing in the way that makes Marchessini's genitals the happiest is not a harmless personal decision, but hostile behavior towards all men.

Here's how Marchessini puts it: "Walk along any street and you see women using trousers like a uniform every single day. This is hostile behaviour. They are deliberately dressing in a way that is opposite to what men would like."

As a guide to the sexual desires of a specific billionaire shipping magnate turned author, this book is invaluable. If you desire something other than a guide to the details of Mr. Marchessini's libido, you may want to buy a different book.
