I picked this up to see if I could safely rec it for high school boys. I've never seen How I Met Your Mother, but I still really, really laughed at this. A lot. It is deliciously feminist in its complete and total embrace of sexism. Um. That sentence might not make a lot of sense, but I can't really think of a way to phrase it better. Honestly, it's so perfectly over the top. Read it. It will take you almost no time at all to get through, and you'll run into lines like this: A Bro is under no obligation to open a door for anyone. If women insist on having their own professional basketball league, then they can open their own doors. Honestly, they're not that heavy. The only downside? You'll walk around for a few hours after you put it down adding the prefix bro- to every other word you think. Really funny in some places ("the Spartan seamen broke through the Trojan barrier"), if you can get into a machismo state of mind. Not recommended to be read in one sitting, because although you're aware it's humor, it gets kinda disgusting. It'd be cooler if NPH offered up a code or two, but that's just wishful thinking. The illustrations and formulas, and even the blurbs were a nice touch. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Distinctions
From the hit TV show How I Met Your Mother comes Barney Stinson's words of wit, wisdom, and awesomeness, The Bro Code-the New York Times bestseller (really!) with more than a million copies in print all around the world. Everyone's life is governed by an internal code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others call it religion. But Bros in the know call this Holy Grail The Bro Code. The Bro Code is a living document, much like the Constitution. Except instead of outlining a government, or the Bill of Rights, or anything even resembling laws, The Bro Code provides men with all the rules they need to know in order to become a "bro" and behave properly among other bros. Historically a spoken tradition passed from one generation to the next and dating back to the American Revolution, the official code of conduct for Bros appears here in its published form for the first time ever. By upholding the tenets of this sacred and legendary document, any dude can learn to achieve Bro-dom. Containing approximately 150 "unspoken" rules, this code of conduct for bros can range from the simple (bros before hos) to the complex (the hot-to-crazy ratio, complete with bar graphs and charts). With helpful sidebros The Bro Code will help any ordinary guy become the best bro he can be. Let ultimate bro and co-author Barney Stinson and his book, The Bro Code share their wisdom, lest you be caught making eye contact in a devil's three-way (two dudes, duh).

The Story:
Some things just do not age well and this book is unfortunately one of them. It was nostalgic and brought back many good memories from the show but a few points were so cringy. Well, Barney is cringy so I guess we got what was advertised.
Overall I enjoyed it and it served the purpose it was supposed to.
