I didn't really enjoy reading this book much as it was quite boring. I didn't find it at all moving and very rarely was it funny. It is written well but just wasn't interesting enough for me to enjoy.

The book didn't live up to the standards that i was hearing about. but there were some suprises instore. i think the reviews somewhat mislead the reader into thinking the story is about one thing and you go on to find complex issues within it. it is alot like Fight Club, i wonder how many people went to see it for the title and not for the story. it was alot like that. i think the suprises were well recieved, and the harsh realities about single motherhood is dealt with well and the way men are also seen in an unbiased way are also suprising. you would think that the book would be biased toward males, making them the better off characters in the book, since the author is male and the title is 'male' but the women are seen fairly and are well represented, they are also the characters who have alot of control in the book. this is a great book for people who want to raise awareness about the issue of single parenthood and also those who might find themselves in a situation to learn about how others deal with their problems. although most of the dilemas are Harry's and revolve around Harry, he gives a good account about everything.

This book was wondeful. Hilarious yet sad at the same time. Issues that can truly be related to worldwide.
