" I liked it better than The Bro Code. 98% of the plays are crazy, but I was actually able to pick up a line or two from this one. But I think you have to watch the series to get some of the references . (Ted as Billy Idol. :) ) "

" I laughed a lot. A lit of lowbrow humor but really funny nonetheless. "
— David, 8/22/2012 -
" This book is absolutely hilarious! I loved it! It was so funny, it only took me an hour to read. If you want a good laugh, pick it up, and give it a read! Some of the plays are so creative. Enjoy! "
— Allissa, 6/12/2012 -
" Only funny if you watch How I Met Your Mother, it's like listening to an extended episode all about Barney's 'plays'. I listened to it on audiobook, so I imagine it would also not be as funny reading yourself, as Barney's story-telling voice is what makes it entertaining. "
— Kelly, 5/4/2012 -

— Bryan, 9/22/2011 -

" Being a big How I Met Your Mother fan, I have to say that I loved this book. It was hilariously funny, though I know that if a guy tried any of these plays on me... well. Let's just say the scam's aren't 100% fullproof! Still. A cute and very quick read. "

About the Authors
Barney Stinson is awesome. He works for a powerful bank in New York City but somehow finds time to “suit up” and help the less fortunate, in particular his lovelorn and all together pathetic bro Ted Mosby—seriously, that dude’s got probs. When Barney’s not staging private bikini calendar shoots, test-driving tanks, or elbow-deep in another legendary activity, like riding a tiger bareback or blowing up a guitar, he can be seen on the hit CBS show How I Met Your Mother with his friends Ted, Robin, Lily, and Marshall.
Matt Kuhn is a staff writer for the CBS hit show How I Met Your Mother and helps write Barney’s Blog on the show’s website. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
