Skinny Bastard

A Kick in the Ass for Real Men Who Want to Stop Being Fat and Start Getting Buff

By: Rory Freedman, Kim Barnouin

Narrated by: Hillary Huber

Guys like Milwaukee Brewers' Prince Fielder and the Dallas Mavericks' Jerry Stackhouse who have adopted a whole new eating plan by reading over their girlfriends' shoulders can now have a book of their own.

In Skinny Bastard the authors explain why the macho "meat and potatoes" diet is total crap - and a turn-off - and how to get buff on the right foods. Eating well shouldn't be a "girlie" thing, and the Skinny Bastards will whip any man into shape with their straight talk, sound guidance, and locker-room language.

This is another in the wildly popular series of no-nonsense, tough-love guides to real health.

not a bad book

not a bad a book but take everything with a grain of salt. I will admit that I FREAKED OUT with some of the subject matter but a someone else brought me back down to earth. I did learn a bit here and there but I really think one should look at this as a resource book and not a book of absolute truths (like I first did).

WOW!

this book truly makes one think twice about what we put in our bodies.
wow!
if you still are eating beef and chicken and pork stop it!

This book has and will change my life.

I have always known that the government allows Americans to shit. This book has confirmed My suspicions.

Eye opening and slightly disturbing.

What made the experience of listening to Skinny Bastard the most enjoyable?

As juvenile as it is, the cursing. Seriously, the un filtered "real world" expressions in the writing is what did it for me. In order for a lot of this content to hit home for me and to get to me to listen it had to sound like a friend telling me the information and on that front they nailed it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Skinny Bastard?

It was very early on, but the information dump on Aspartame. Rocked my world...

What three words best describe Hillary Huber’s performance?

Real, Human, Clear.

Any additional comments?

There are a few moments where the book becomes list heavy, but they are short lived for the most part, and add extra value to info junkies.

Too Short

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I'll be listening to it again, I'm sure. I loved the author's use of profanity.
