Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid: The Simple Truth To A Complicated Relationship (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
الكوميديا في الكتاب + اختلاف العادات عنا جعلته مملا وغير مفيد بالنسبه لنا في نظري، عادة اتصفح الكتب قبل ما اشتريها وهذا الكتاب تصفحته بس ما اعرف كيف اشتريته؟ بديت اقراه بجديه بس لما وصلت للنص صرت اتصفحه بسرعه واشوف العناوين اللي تهمني Didn't love it, didn't hate it, didn't really like it either. DisappointedThe cover of the book caught my eye long time ago, I believe it was the first book I ever added to my "to read" list here on Goodreads so I was very happy to see that months later my library had a copy of it. The title is hilarious and I'm pretty sure most people feel that it's true in a humorous way. However, I found that the title was the best thing about this book. It's just so good that really, the book would have to be amazing for it to do it justice, and amazing it is not. I had it at home for 9 weeks and only got halfway through the book before I had to return it. It just didn't keep my interest. It wasn't horrible, it was pretty easy to read and had some funny parts but I would look at it on my night stand and think "nah, I'd rather watch TV", which is not normally the case. Maybe it was because I found their stories unrelateable most of the time or because I thought the guy was especially stupid in his relationships and thoughts concerning women and the lady was especially crazy in those areas. She seems like one of those women that most of us (women) hate because they make us all seem completely unreasonable. To be fair, I think women can be unreasonable at times and we can't help it, we are a bit crazy, but this lady is a bit out there. And this guy is stupid, I mean he talks about a relationship in which he told the girl that the way her family communicated & solved problems made no sense. You never say that to people, whether you're dating them or are friends with them or just met them or are their therapist or bikini waxer, unless there's abuse involved, the way that a family does something, no matter how different from your family, is the perfect way. Of course you think it's crazy and stupid, that's not the point. All in all, I think that if I was on a bus or a plane or on vacation and this was the only book I had to read, I would get through it and it wouldn't be too much of a pain but it was not a page turner. It wasn't nearly as funny as I was hoping it would be. I didn't like the format (he writes a chapter and she responds). I didn't like the authors, I didn't dislike them either but I don't want to be their friend.
