User Reviews about A "Real" Man's Guide To Divorce: ("First - You Bend Over And...")
The truth hurts - and sometimes it makes us cry laughing - as is the case in Joe Perrone Jr.'s A "Real" Man's Guide to Divorce. Written as a guide for the many men who are going through the almost-statistically-inevitable rite of passage, Perrone approaches the topic with eyes wide open, wallet wide open - and often times other things wide open - giving the realistic male perspective on the process that begins after the husband has already left, (or has been pushed), out the backdoor. The author paints an all-too-honest picture of the emotional, financial, and logistical sides of the subject with a brush dipped in experience, wisdom, and a sense of humor that page after page will have the reader holding his sides. Written masterfully and with the audience fully in mind, only Perrone knows how to make the candidly gruff male language, which makes the book so entertaining, still sound as eloquent as verse. Five stars for an informative, and hysterical, read!

-- Getting a Divorce has Never Been so Hilarious...
Divorce is not funny! In fact, it's DEADLY serious--one of the most traumatic of life's experiences, even in the best of circumstances. SO,FINDING HUMOR DURING THE PROCESS IS NOT EASY BUT IT IS NECESSARY FOR SURVIVAL. This book is a hilarious presentation of very sound advice for a person during a stressful time.
Though written from a man's perspective, it can be entertaining and helpful for women. It is a very easy read for someone who is not in a state of mind for the arduous task of plowing through the usual "self-help" guides to the various crises in life.
The glossary provides good basic definitions of legal jargon that are useful while amusing the reader with clever alternative meanings. The last two pages of the book (before the glossary) impart a message that is critically important for EVERY parent to remember. -- Lively Humor on a Deadly Serious Subject
As a woman, I tried really hard not to like this book, but in the end, I thought it was really funny, which I think was the main intent of the author. Perrone admits that, although happily married now for almost 30 years, he has also gone through a divorce. The book is a comedic view of the whole experience from a man's perspective.
Quotes like: "What's hers is HERS and what's yours is HERS" abound. Perrone offers some good tips in between the jokes. He says that men should hire female divorce lawyers, because a female is more likely to sniff out when the wife is just whining to the judge.
There's some profanity (bad words) so if you are offended by this, you might not like it. Most men seem not to be bothered by it, so that's the only issue that I can see.
Conclusion: A funny look at a serious subject
-- As a woman, I tried NOT to like this book!
