Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The nameless narrator of this dismal debut is a cynical 20-something living an empty, oversexed existence in L.A. He gets laid more often than he masturbates, plays video games, goes to the gym, sizes up every bitch in sight and, understandably, hates Casey, his vapid wannabe-actress girlfriend who tricks him into agreeing to marry her. He is not happy about this. Adding to his reluctance is his burgeoning "relationship" with hottie Alyna, a UCLA student who-just as Casey is an exaggerated caricature of What Men Don't Want-is the Dream Girl who likes video games and porn-style sex. (Also, Casey has a "fat ass" whereas Alyna has a "perfect ass.") [...] Despite the book's purported "brutal honesty," the premise is essentially: guys like sex and dislike cuddling.

or at least NOT the average American male. I found this book to be amazing and creative. I constantly had to stop reading to laugh out loud realizing that most of the thoughts that the main character has in this book, I have too to some degree throughout the day...though they are mostly subconscious until hindsight.
"Marco Polo" is clearly acting like a woman by being insulted by the bluntness and disregarding the symbolism and fact that this is a creatively written story about, whether you like to admit it or not, how average men think.
Chad Kultgen is a great writing, and the story is very bold, exciting, elicit, funny, and clever. Instantly one of my favorite books.
If you are a normal guy - read it. If you like books that your Mom would be embarrassed if she saw you reading it in public - read it. If you are a woman - buy a copy's of Oprah's magazine and hold in your farts.

Just cut out the last page...
This story would have been great, much like "The Lie", if only Chad Kultgen knew when to just cut it short. Read more
