What on Earth possessed me to buy this book? There's a joke about men buying "utterly useless things on eBay". This book fits the description.
There are no original humorous jokes here. The subject is handled more originally in Why Cucumbers are Better Than Men. In fact, this book is just not funny. The cartoon-like illustrations are funnier than the text.
The worst joke is about shooting a horse. That pretty much killed the book for me there. There have been only two people I know of that could make dead animal jokes funny: Jenny Lawson and George Carlin. Unless either of those names are on your birth certificate, don't even THINK of writing a dead animal joke in your book. Just stop it already.
This book was written for a UK audience, so American readers might wonder about the slang. For example, PMT is used instead of PMS.
Men, if you want a quick look at how not to tick off your girlfriends (and have never heard a single stand-up routine from the last 80 years) then this book can quickly show you what not to do.

This is a brilliant little book that will keep a smile on your face. It does exactly as it says on the cover - 100 reasons why our horses are better than our men!
Like
- When your horse feels a bit unwell, he will let you know but won't bang on for weeks about his near-death experience with the common cold.
- Horses can be chucked out in a field when you want some personal space and they really don't mind.
- If you have an overwhelming desire to ride your best friend's horse she'll probably let you.
- If your stallion is getting to be too much of a handful, you can have his testicles removed to calm him down and make him more compliant. Men seem to object to this.

This book was so cute , a quick read and very fun . I loved it , i would've given it 5 stars but one paragraph in this book says "if the relationship doesn't work out with your horse you can sell it or shoot it and neither will result in your arrest" this really hurt me , i am against animal abuse and this is as cruel as can be . I stand against animal abuse and cruelty even if this was said in a jokingly manner (which is even worse , you shouldn't joke about another being's life)
