Aug 11, Andie Treitschke rated it it was amazing. This book is awesome. I do not know why people hate it. If you want to know more about plastic surgery it's the way to go..

I really enjoyed it few years ago Sep 20, Steven Milian rated it liked it. I listened to this on audio and would listen to Joan read anything.

Joan had me laughing loudly thru the whole book. If I ever wanted plastic surgery this book would tell me everything I needed to know. No, really, Joan, it would be my pleasure. It's not that Men Are Stupid And They Like Big Boobs: A Woman's Guide to Beauty Through Plastic Surgery is poorly written, desperately unfunny and has a stupid title though it is all those things. It's that after reading how a micro-cannula is put into the fatty area of the labia majora in order to perform a vulva lipoplasty, or how you shave a dorsal hump by scraping the excess cartilage on the septum with a scalpel and then using a chisel and a mallet to hammer away the nasal bone , I found myself having strange and violent thoughts.
