Book Description

May 30 2006
From the publisher:

This is the only sentence in the entire book that will give you a chance to adjust your face; take your time, because it’s about to be rocked off—permanently.

Finally, a book that guarantees your balls will be stomped; a book so manly that it will make even the burliest of men (and in some cases, the burliest of women) feel inadequate. So manly, it needs to be shaved: The Alphabet of Manliness. This collection of sacred writings may very well be the greatest compilation of all things manly throughout history. Here’s a small sample of the ass-kickery found within these revered pages of outright manliness:

People getting drop-kicked in the face

Phallic aggression

Violence in excess of what has come to be known as excessive

Garish disregard for the well-being of children

Contempt for animals, women, and other cultures

Intimidating rhetoric

Obscure penile references

The triumph of flannel over good taste

This book is only for the saltiest, hairiest, most rugged son of a bitch out there. However, it would be selfish to keep it for myself, so feel free to buy a copy. This humble tome of wisdom is a tribute to all men who toil away at work every day, getting their balls busted, or busting balls.

If you can’t handle the punch to the colon I’m about to deliver to you, look on the bright side: you’ll save a fortune on Halloween when kids come to your door to pick apart your candy ass. On the other hand, if you feel comfortable with the risk of having your ass neatly packaged and handed to you with all the trimmings, cut the foreplay and crack the book open already.

Format:Hardcover
I had some pretty high expectations for this book and I definitely can't say that I was disappointed, but I wasn't all that impressed either. There were some pretty funny parts, but overall it was not the kind of humor that makes you laugh out loud. In fact some parts were pretty boring to read.
Structuring it like an alphabetical guide was definitely a nice idea and the extensive usage of illustrations was essential. In fact they are probably the most consistently funny thing about it.
I'm not sure whether spending [...] bucks on this thing was money well spent, but it is reasonably entertaining so check it out if you can get your hands on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Same Maddox style, new format. Jun 26 2006
Format:Hardcover
This book is great. It's really similar to the site humor-wise but it's totally different in the way it's presented. This book is funny as a whole. I couldn't stop smiling and had a chubby all the way through. Buy it or Maddox will punch a baby. Oh wait, he's going to do that either way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning! Brilliant! A must have! Jun 4 2006
Format:Hardcover
I bet you will be speechless right after you read the first few pages. They are that astonishing, original and provocative. I laughed out loud so many times because this is the very best humoristic book I have ever laid eyes on and I am an avid reader. I am not a “fan” of Maddox nor I knew about his web site so my impressions about him and his mind blowing entertainment are entirely based on this truly very, very manly book. It is organized into 26 small sections, one for each letter of the alphabet.

I am sure that you won’t be able to put it down after you read just the first one dedicated to Ass kicking. I don’t know whether you will grow extra hair and your testosterone will skyrocket after you read the book but I am sure that you will be thrilled to have a copy of it and reread it again and again. Additional bestseller worth praising as well is “Scientifically guaranteed male multi-orgasms and ultimate sex” by scientist Ritz. I dare say that these books are a great pair and will open your eyes for so many “must know” manly secrets. Keep it up.

It's a lot longer than an adeptly written comical internet site based update is but not substantially funnier. Read more

This book was kind of a let down for me. It started off with a hillarious first chapter. The problem is that as you continue reading, you can actually feel yourself get dumber. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Why wouldn't you read it?
Maddox is hilarious. This book is well worth your time and money. The only real complaint is that it is too short.

Read this book with an understanding of a sense of uber-masculine comedy. This is a very funny collection of testosterone driven madness, absolutely intended to be IN YO FACE. Read more

The book itself was excellent. Most impressively, Maddox managed to keep the book from losing it's novelty. Read more
