Title: A Disconnected Jumble of Macho Bar-room Stories
Review: This book reminds me of the kind of stories you hear in a bar. At first, it can be entertaining to hear colorful characters in a bar tell drunken stories, and if the stories seem less than credible, well, that's all part of the fun.But after a while, the stories all start to sound the same. You get tired of the teller's propensity to end every paragraph with "there's just no getting around it." If the guy trots out a tired movie analogy one more time ("it's like that time in Dirty Harry when Clint Eastwood points the gun at that guy...") you're going to run screaming from the room.Not every book has to be a literary masterpiece. But something resembling proper use of punctuation and grammar helps. It would have been possible to write a book on this topic, rather than a disconnected jumble of stories with no coherent narrative. There are some fun stories in here, but the book is too painful to read to justify wading through them.
