Real Men Don't Apologize!

From Barnes & Noble

Real men don't ask questions, but if they did, Jim Belushi is the just the kind of guy they would look to for advice. As every According to Jim show proves, masculine Jim knows what men really want to know but are afraid to ask. Things like "How can I get my wife to do what I want?" or "How do I behave at a strip club?" or "What's the best way to get that cute blonde's cell phone number?" In Real Men Don't Apologize, Jim bares all -- but not that way.

Library Journal

Belushi, most well known for his TV show According to Jim, provides comedic advice on relationships between the sexes. While his brand of love and respect for women is punctuated throughout the book, the section where he off-handedly dismisses centuries of oppression of women in the name of comedy will not sit well with some listeners. The backbone of Belushi's shtick is his rude and crude "manly" perspective on life, much of which consists of flatulence jokes and dirty sex talk. His idea of what it takes to be a "real man" may be entertaining for some, but it will come across as very, very tiring for others. While the author does get serious at times, e.g., discussing his feelings following the tragic death of his brother John and his struggle to make it as an actor, the majority of the book focuses on his comedic take on understanding women. Belushi narrates this audiobook, which also contains music by his band, Jim Belushi and the Sacred Hearts. Fans of his movies and his ABC sitcom will wholeheartedly enjoy his foray into the world of publishing. For public libraries.-Dawn Eckenrode, Daniel A.
