"Learning how guys think"
As a woman who's been married for 30 years to two different men and is now approaching 4 years of singlehood, I listened to this book with the hope of better understanding the male side of a relationship, the illuminations perhaps enabling my next liaison to be a long and satisfying one. After finishing "Things I've Learned...", with great sadness, I lament I'm not a lesbian.

"Bitter maybe, BUT bitter is funny."
It may not be for everyone, but compared to some of the other books I've downloaded lately, this one was a winner. This one was well worth a book credit. Don't expect to be draw any important life lessons from this, but just sit back and laugh a little.

"Keep listening past the intro!"
There is some very funny stuff here. The intro is not one of them. The other disappointing performance is Steven Colbert. But, other than that, I really enjoyed this book. It is not all funny though. But, it rings very honest.

"I want my 3.5 hours back"
Would you try another book from the authors and/or the narrator?No. I would rather die
What was most disappointing about the authors’s story?It was a series of stories with the namesake theme. They weren't particularly interesting and there is about one laugh to be had throughout the audio. Also it was full of unnecessary swearing that was misplaced and made me feel uncomfortable.
Would you be willing to try another one of the narrator’s performances?Definitely not.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Things I've Learned from Women Who've Dumped Me?Most of them.
Any additional comments?This book did not deserve to be made into an audiobook. Do not put yourself through listening to it.

"Not so great"
This book really didn't seem worth the price considering how short it was. Some stories were certainly better than others. Steven Colbert's was just plain terrible.

"not for me..."
Guess I was expecting something with a little more substance, or at the least some good laughs. This was a waste of a credit.

"Not so great"
I had read and loved the book. Didn't feel the same about listening; some narrators are better writers than readers.

"Loads of Laughs"
A humorous series of essays entitled "Things I've Learned from Women Who've Dumped Me" had me rolling around laughing. A combination of honesty and wit create unforgettable stories you want to share with your friends. However, some of these essays have the tendency to be a little ronchy and so I wouldn't recommend reading it aloud to your mother. She may not have the same uncalloused appreciation you have developed.
