Not what I expected,
By Ted MacKinnon (Kanata, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Modern Gentleman, 2nd Edition: A Guide to Essential Manners, Savvy, and Vice (Paperback)
I had the idea this book might be an interesting, amusing read from which I could actually benefit. As it turned out, this was not the case.I found the book extremely superficial, and providing the same quality of advice: how to create a veneer of sophistication, no more. The title, it seems, is disturbingly apt; in modern society, with its hype and glitter, the 'modern' gentleman is apparently nothing more than a convenient mask one wears to appear classy and garner approbation. Nowhere in the book, however, is there discussion on what it means to actually BE classy. For example, rather than noting that true gentlemen do not have affairs on their wives, it emphasizes the need for discretion and the fact that if one is caught, it's not really defensible. Needless to say, an indepth read became a casual perusal became a skim became the book going in the recycling. I not only wish I could get my money back, but the time I spent looking at it. Milage may vary.

Better than first edition,

This review is from: The Modern Gentleman, 2nd Edition: A Guide to Essential Manners, Savvy, and Vice (Paperback)
This is the wittiest, funniest, savviest collection of observations on how to be an effective male in the twentieth first century you can find. Don't confuse this vast smorgasbord of essays on everything from wine, dating, music choice, sex, in-laws, kink, and clothes with the kind of pseudo-cool yet actually uptight advice you'd find in GQ or similar post-frat boy rags. Practical and highly amusing at the same time.

Every man should own this book,
By NickJamesZ - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Modern Gentleman, 2nd Edition: A Guide to Essential Manners, Savvy, and Vice (Paperback)
I reference this book as much as the bible. It has become my second bible. I take it everywhere I go right in my napsack, in my car and whenever boarding a plane. Imagine all of the witty advice columns you've read in Playboy, Maxim, GQ, Mens Health, etc. and you have the MG series in one tidy and handsome package. Read it, soak it in and live like a gentleman. And if nothing else it is an excellent conversation starter.
