On the one hand, nobody wants to be a dick. On the other hand, dicks are everywhere! They cut in line, talk behind our backs, recline into our seats, and even have the power to morph into trolls online. Their powers are impressive, but with a little foresight and thoughtfulness, we can take a stand against dickishness today. How Not to Be a Dick is packed with honest and straightforward advice, but it also includes playful illustrations showing two well-meaning (but not always well behaved) young people as they confront moments of potential dickishness in their everyday lives. Sometimes they falter, sometimes they triumph, but they always seek to find a better way. And with their help, you can too. Just see the agreement at the beginning of the book: I pledge to use the tools and techniques provided in this book to help make the world a less dickish place.

I was worried he would get offended at first. lol. I read some of the pages from it aloud to him, and I think he could learn a lot from it. If he actually reads it. This can be a satire/joke gift or it can be a serious gift. I think Iโll order one for my son and write in it, and gift it to him when heโs a teenager. I got his Dad one too. Itโs a really nice book and I was expecting a paper cover and got a nice hardback cover. Iโm going to read more of it soon before I give the other one to my sonโs Dad. Itโs cute and even has some little infographics on some pages.

Whatever gets them to read!
My son was a little embarrassed when he opened this gift on Christmas. (He is 14) I notice this book appearing around the house and it looks as if it's been looked at on occasion. It's actually a serious book about etiquette with some mildly vulgar language, as the title implies. Advice is written in snippets accompanied by cartoon illustrations, which makes it easy to pick up and read casually. I try to find anything that will catch his attention and entice him to read. As a bonus, this book gives good advice on social interactions and appropriate behavior.

Reinforces Good Behavior In A Fun Way
Really a good book for underlining for all of us, even those of us who should know better, what behavior is tolerated and not in polite society. Since I can be a thoughtless dick at times, I need all the reminders I can get... As a 51 year old, I loved the Dick & Jane-style artwork since I learned to read with the "Dick & Jane" and "Tip and Mitten" books 45 years ago. Little lessons are taught in humorous ways without being condescending and I thought the continued references to cheese logs were a nice touch.

Donโt be mislead by the title! Great etiquette book!
My husband thought my stepson was going to get offended. Turns out, he already knew about this book and thought it was so cool! The only thing thatโs remotely offensive about this book is the title. The author just wanted to grab the attention of kids. Other than that, this book is great! Teaches etiquette and gives real life scenarios and certain things that kids go through in life. She [the author] really puts herself in kids shoes and can explain things on a kids level that they can comprehend. Excellent book.

Not just for young men!
I bought this book for my husband because when he gets stressed, he acts like such a dick and many times I get triggered when his behavior turns childish. SO, I decided to buy him this book and hold on to it and give it to him when he starts the unwanted behaviors in the hopes that it would diffuse an argument. Well it worked like a charm, I simply walked away from him as he was getting really worked up and came back with the book and gently set it on the counter. He looked at it and started laughing and that ended what would have turned into an argument! BUT, he took it with him on a fishing trip with his buddies and came back and said they all got a good laugh but were all surprised at the good advice inside! ๐ณ Didnโt see that coming!! WINNER!!
F**!
Fun read!
The book was mainly about common sense. Very fun to read.

It could also be a very useful tool to curbing someones bad habits
Par tof me thought this book was written in satire...but the other part of me (the part that actually lives in the real world) feels this is an incredible tongue in cheek jab at how people can be so "dickish". I laughed, so it was a few dollars well spent. It could also be a very useful tool to curbing someones bad habits. A "funny" christmas gift perhaps.

Great gift book for young men
Gave it to my nephew for his 17th birthday. He thanked me for it soon afterwards. Read it straight away. Loved the advice.

Very apt
This was a very good present if only for the title alone. It's not a joke book as it clearly defines etiquette in different parts of your life. I did buy it for a 'joke' present though and I enjoyed sending it if only to make the recipient realise what their behaviour has been like over the years.

Great book for a dick
I gifted this book to a friend of mine whoโs a dick. He never stopped being a dick after reading (not even sure if he read the whole book) but the look on his face when he received the gift was priceless 10/10 would recommend.

Boring book
Apart from the title- the book is not funny nor informative. It seems the author copied a whole lot of sighed tins you get on those Chinese crackers at your local takeout
