Customer Reviews

Hilarious, well-written and intelligent!

I have to admit that when I heard this book was coming out, I had my doubts about the quality. I was a big fan of the site, but honestly, what could the author add to the pictures that were already available online? This volume, however, was a very pleasant surprise, and let me assure you that yes, it is well worth buying, even (or especially?) if you are a fan of the site. The author weaves a funny yet quite insightful and intelligent narrative throughout this text, and while there is plenty of humor, there are a number of astute sociological observations that give it added depth. Make no mistake, this is not a scholarly work, but the elegant and polished prose with which the author presents an admittedly low-brow subject is refreshing. And hey, he mentions Lacan! The pictures are, of course, the main draw here, and they do not disappoint. The wide variety of subjects is as hilarious as it is depressing, and is very well organized and presented. Definitely a worthy read!

This generation's War and Grease

Buy it, for the children. Before, in the words of Neville Chamberlain, we have "grease in our time". Do it for the children. And one-star guy can felate a mailbox.

Pure Genius

I totally disagree with the One Star comment. The fact you can get much of the material for free on his site (and goes the commenter's point, why spend money on the book) is irrelevant. I love the site and even if the book contained nothing but material already there, i'd still buy it to support the author. however the book is chock full of stuff not on the site. There's a great narrative throughout which shows his walk through searching for his inner douche. His insights are dead on and face it, pretty much every guy on earth has found himself scratching his head in amazement at this phenomenon. The book catagories each douche and offers brilliant and biting insight in the process. The pictures of the Hotts are superb and showing them on the glossy paper is a great touch. I can't think of a better Coffee Table book to have - so I guess that makes me a douche according to some of the commenters. Well, if that makes me one, I'm proud of it.

This book is really great/funny/quirky/smart and nuts

HOT CHICKS WITH DOUCHEBAGS is really smart, quirky, edgy and a real howl. DB1 knows how to get in there and make you laugh, twist your mind and it's a great approach to pop culture insanity, while poking, chiding and being academic -- rolling it all into one hilarious joke. You can read it through all at once or flip through it choad by chaod. There is something for everyone in this book. I bought 20 copies for gifts. It's a deal and the 4 color photos and large format look like it's worth a lot more than the going price. Whoever this guy is, I can't wait for book two. WHat a HOOOT

Arguably the greatest book ever written

The "War and Peace" of my generation. I was torn between the abject beauty of Hotts contrasted with the nausea inducing Douches. On second reading, I wondered, "Are the douchebags really childlike in their quest for acceptance? Are they not victims of one to many 'Rock of Love' episodes?" Perhaps, but in the end they are still Douches. Do they know their fashion comes from the gay underground? I'm repulsed, yet intriged. Still, one must marvel at the dedication of the douche to their craft. Tattoos, fake tans, and even the haircuts are things that normal men wouldn't allow happen to them, let alone seek out. A star on the bicep or a faux-hawk. But these DB's wear them with pride. It's tragic to look at a bunch of clubing man-whores trying to stand out so much that they all look the same. [...]
