Customer Reviews

There's a plot!

The concept of reading a book of email between two friends may seem dry, but there's actually a plot hidden in this: becoming a grown-up thirtysomething, with marriage, life, etc. impending, that sort of sneaks up on you in the end. I rather think that future anthropologists may read this a hundred years from now when they want to find out what it was like at the dawn of the email era, or at least twenty years from now we can re-read it to remember what the 90s were like. Cute, clever, occasionally profane and puerile, but that only adds to its charm.

Refreshing, entertaining, light-hearted

In this day of atrocities among mankind, E-Male is refreshing -- two guys (best friends) share feelings and thoughts in a light-hearted, humorous, and sensitive way via email. Poking fun at the mundane parts of life and finding humor in daily drudgery make the reality of it all more tolerable -- something that is sorely needed in light of the horrific capabilities of man versus mankind.

A true story of life, love and beer

I found this book to one of the most entertaining pieces I have ever read! Once I started, I could not put it down. The true-to-life stories being told as they unfold are warm and witty. "E-Male..." will make you laugh out loud with Jeff and Anthony as they traverse through life. A must read for women everywhere!

Funny with great insight into the male psyche. E-male RULES!

E-Male was an eye-opening read for a woman who grew-up without brothers or the benefit of being exposed to the unique and intriguing as well as the tender personality aspects of men. While being laugh-out-loud funny, the e-mails also reveal a very close, intimate and touching story of male friendship. E-Male is both a fun and interesting read for men and women. You will pick up this book and re-read it from time to time for many good laughs. Highly recommend it!

A cult classic for its genre!

A close friend who I correspond with primarily via "e-mail" sent "E-Male" to me and said " You must read this!! We are Fe-Male!" As a confirmed literature snob (Give me Pynchon or give me death! . . . yes some could argue there is no difference) I would have tragically overlooked it. Instead . . . I read the book cover to cover - unable to separate myself from it until its conclusion.Rarely have I been so amused and touched by such fresh,honest,direct,unique yet eerily familiar voices. While I grew up in a completely different world from Anthony and Jeff -- I felt an instant connection. This book is a timeless anthem to the Generation "X" pilgrims. While the book is remarkably clever and hilarious at times -- the unwavering focus on the men's friendship and lives remains brilliantly subtle -- and these delicate layers of friendship, marriage,career and maturity must be properly appreciated or the essence of the book is utterly lost. What makes this book particularly precious is that some people just wont "get it"
