Reviews

[Caitriona · Rating 2 out of 5]

There were a couple of insightful gems to be found in this book but it was not worth the trouble of finding them.
The book was just one man's diatribe and painful to plough through.

[Alexbookworm · Rating 4 out of 5]

Strangely enough, I loved this book. It was about time to read a guy's funny and clever account of love and relationships, marriage and divorce.

[Julie Round · Rating 4 out of 5]

The thoughts and feelings of a man looking for romance and wondering where he went wrong, written with humour and insight. Maybe all the conclusions weren't entirely accurate but at least he tried!

[Aurora · Rating 4 out of 5]

An easy read, his lessons were interesting. Ending feels a bit inconclusive

[Sharon March · Rating 3 out of 5]

Skimmed some of it which is not a good sign! OK book but too wordy and needy

[David · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm not sure how I ended up reading this. Wouldn't recommend it though it wasn't entirely awful..
