It was fun for a couple of pages. Then it becomes boring. Then just annoying.
This shouldn't be a book. But the author doesn't care because one of the chapters is called "F*ck online reviews."

Sometimes it’s fun to read a book where the author rages about everything - and sometimes it’s not. It was well-written throughout, and at its best when totally satirical and with frequent off-the-wall jokes. When it attempted to be serious, with cherry-picked scientific articles and insufficiently supported assertions, it was less interesting.
Pretty insane to start but then you realize the satire is really just there to disarm you into hearing honest truths that a lot of people dont want to talk about. I have been a long time reader of Maddox and The Alphabet of Manliness was one of my favorite comedy books from back in the day. Glad he is still Publishing and will keep up with his work always.

This is not a bad book and the first three chapters where he talks about ridiculous topics such as his hatred of whales are great and felt very Dave Berryish. However the later chapter begin to turn into rants against "political correctness" and other issues. There are still funny parts and sometimes his points are interesting and well argued. However they are often boring and not worth it. Read the first three essays and then put the book back.
