Synopsis

Two books in one!

Turns out that The Bitch In the House was only half the story. Daniel Jones, husband of Cathi Hanauer, has rallied the men for the 'literary equivalent of The Full Monty,' in which a group of thoughtful, passionate and often hilarious men lay it bare when it comes to their wives and girlfriends, their hopes and fears. Many of these husbands and fathers contemplate aspects of their personal lives they've never before revealed -- kicking open the door on their marriages and sex lives, their fathering and domestic conflicts, their most intimate relationships and situations.

Powerful, heartfelt and irreverent, this is a bold, unprecedented glimpse into the glaring truths of modern relationships.

BookLender review by Christine on 2009-04-29 14:59:10

This description is a bit misleading, as this audiobook is not really an abridged version of The ******* on the Couch. It consists of some essays from *******, as well as some essays from its predecessor, The ***** in the House. An entertaining listen, but I was a bit surprised at first.
