A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK FOR THE BOYFRIEND For Every Guy Who Wants to Be One/For Every Girl Who Wants to Build One

Does it take a "Desperate Housewife" (Huffman) and a theatrical producer (Wolff) to save potential and current boyfriends from themselves? Perhaps. In this blunt and funny primer for clueless males, narrator Shelley Frasier delivers the sometimes bawdy, irreverent, and even gross content without a hitch. The work is intended mostly for the "All-American male"--one who wouldn't touch chardonnay or quiche, who is basically incapable of a trace of suaveness or intellectualism, and who is stuck in a post-frat-house mentality. Still, there are some truths that every male can use in his relationships, though feminists may cringe at the traditional gender positioning the authors assume. But if one takes it in the spirit intended, this handbook is a fun romp through meat-and-potatoes American love. D.J.B. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 07]
