Man Down: Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt That Women Are Better Cops, Drivers, Gamblers, Spies, World Leaders, Beer Tasters, Hedge Fund Managers, and Just About Audiobook

" Short light book that takes a different look at the battle of the sexes. It has short chapters and is funny at times. I wish the author had included a bibliography of the articles and studies so I could read more. "

" This little tome was surely written by Captain Obvious. "

" humorous and short. "

" Short, easy to read, and of course it just supported my belief that women are better than men. ;-) "

" you would think I'd enjoy a book full of studies showing women are better at so many things: better drivers, police officers, students etc.etc. But I found it patronizing. You could practically see the incredulity of the author and his smirk. "

" A bit thin; I read this cover to cover in just one day at the beach on vacation in Sri Lanka. But nonetheless entertaining and worth a spin. Some of the arguments attempting to prove the superiority of the female gender are less compelling than others...but in other cases I think he could have taken it farther! Sure to stir up controversy so that's always fun. "

" Pretty cool. I would recommend that everyone glance through this. It's a quick read and dispels many of the subconscious things we adhere to. "

" I was hoping for a stats book that would interest my stats students. This is too easy and simplistic for them. "

" Just a cute, light book that boosted my ego. :) "

" A quick little read before bed, but I was a little disappointed by the lack of depth. "

" Interesting perspective on gender differences. Not very deep research, but a funny, light read that gives you something to think about. "

" "Man Down" is full of pseudoscience and in need of a decent editor. It isn't clever and it isn't humorous - just 144 pages of fluff. "

" Made absolutely perfect sense to me. An interesting read. "

" Quick read with many proof points that women are better at lots of things than men. Have already bored my beau with some of the fascinating "facts!" "

" There are some interesting tidbits in this and I like the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, but there's not a lot of research to support each individual claim. "

" This book made me feel dirty - like I should have burned my bra afterwards... "

" Well, duh. "

" Hilarious and so true. "

" Fun read with plenty of interesting studies to back up his points. Nice to hear a man giving a little praise to women. "

" Short fun read that had me giggling. Sometimes I thought the explanations for the findings were a little questionable, but all in all a good stereotype buster. "

" Interesting although a lot of it felt cursory. I liked the basic concept and conclusions about why women are so much better at stuff though : ) "

" Cute book. Not to be taken too seriously, although the studies cited are very valuable in context. If Dan Abrams wasn't already my current crush, he would be now!!! "

" A good book to read to boost the self-esteem of women, who have been told our entire lives that we have been less than men. Turns out to be grossly untrue. "

" "Man Down" is full of pseudoscience and in need of a decent editor. It isn't clever and it isn't humorous - just 144 pages of fluff. "

" An interesting premise, but very much a fluff book. I read it in about a day. "

" Very cute book. Great little 2 page chapters on each topic, I think you could probably read the whole thing in less than an hour. The tone is somewhat tongue in cheek but the author shares actual studies which makes this easier to swallow than some other similar types of books. "
