PRAISE for Rachel Thompson and The Mancode: Exposed...
I absolutely just love the work of Rachel Thompson. Not only is she an amazing person, her writing is witty, humorous, and OMG Brilliant! Where the heck does she come up with this stuff?
~BK Walker, bkwalkerbooks.com
As a long time warrior in the Battle of the Sexes, I would have won a lot more skirmishes had I had a copy of the Mancode in my saddle. Reaching back towards my shotgun, I would have found this book instead. Instead of shooting the man, I could have said, "Stop acting like a man!"
Get smart: Buy the Mancode and stop wasting bullets.

THE BOOK
Is it possible to truly expose men?
Men, women, sex, love, stereotypes. Important world topics like garages, lingerie, and um, chocolate? It's a melting pot (okay, now you're just getting hungry)...
But more than that, it's about all the levels in which we communicate...viewed through Thompson's looking glass of humor and deconstructed with her special brand of snark.
Thompson explores controversial questions like: <ul><li>Can we outrun our DNA? </li><li>Will we women always be slaves to our talkative nature (après sex)? </li><li>Will men never be free of the chains of emotional withholding? </li><li>Can we transfer man's paper towel changing abilities from garage to kitchen? </li></ul>
"Women see a man scratching his stuff and want to run away. Quickly. Men see a woman rearranging her breasts, he's mesmerized. Imagine that."
I have this theory, based on too many martinis one night, that women speak in circles and men speak in points. #thinkaboutit MORE PRAISEFinally! A woman who gets what I'm going through every day, from that whole spitting thing to my deep, abiding love for chocolate. Well done!
~Amber Scott, author of #1 bestselling books IRISH MOON, FIERCE DAWN & WANTED
'Mancode: Exposed' is a scathingly funny, rapid fire and heartfelt look at guys. Author Rachel Thompson delivers a satirical piece that invokes strong shades of Penny Marshall and Seth MacFarlane.
