"If you got twelve people hating on you, figure out how to make it fourteen. You must be doing something right." - Katt Williams
Are people really this crude? This book isn't even "Manners 101", it's more like "Manners for Dummies".
That's not to say that I didn't learn anything from this book, but seriously 90% of the book was, what I thought, common sense.

I demand that Mr. Bentley write another (and longer) book. This one was way too entertaining, full of photos, informative, descriptive, and conversational. I couldn't have been more disappointed that I finished reading it in one good sitting. He covered how to tie a necktie, bowtie, how to eat at a dinner table, how to talk on your cell phone and when (I especially appreciated that chapter because I hate loud cell phone people), and tipping. I definitely felt that I learned something about mann

i am a soft touch when it comes to manners/etiquette books (i think there should be a great deal more of them and that modern society would benefit greatly from their publication)
I always find myself reaching for them when i see it is a male author
as this is a rare find.
the most common modern manners/etiquette pamphlets are the men's health magazine columns expanded into book form. These are assembled by editors and full of bold typefaces, stark photos and gently ri More...

This book was utterly stupid. Perhaps if I knew nothing of basic manners I would have benefited from this book, but that is not the case. The name dropping was annoying, to say the least, and the book overall was poorly written. I read the book because I thought it pertained to getting ahead at work which it wasn't. I won't ever read this book again.

A very quick and informative read about manners and style for today's young adult. It is a primer for those who want to know how to avoid being ghetto in their relationships.

This isn't really anything I didn't know, but I'm adding it to my class. The advice is straight forward and practical for teenagers who don't always know the practical.

Just finished this--comes out officially on Tuesday, Sept. 25th, but er um I know somebody. Anyway, I didn't really think I'd enjoy this as much as I did. It even inspired me to buy myself a new pair of shoes--I rarely buy myself anything. Fonzworth Bentley has the right idea! Get this book.

Bread on the left, drinks on the right, Introduce high-ranking people first. An easy read with easy to remember tips on must-know-manners. A definite recommendation to teens & tweens for a good etiquette foundation as they move up - doesn't hurt to review every now and then.

Just a quick, fun reminder about the finer points of style and etiquette. By no means a complete guide to making that transition from rough to royalty, Fonzworth gives you some things to think about and some fun photos to accent his finer points. Swagger on.

I read this book fairly quick and it makes you really think about some of the things that do very frequently.
