Rachel Thompson, the Mistress of Snark, has her razor sharp wit honed to a fine edge in her second book The Mancode: Exposed. I was introduced to Ms. Thompson, and her unique brand of humor and insight, with her first book,A Walk in the Snark, and in this newest look into the world according to Rachel she has surpassed herself. Her "deconstruction" of all things male shows a wisdom gained from decades of marriage and raising a rambunctious son. As a man I find myself saying, "well, yeah? The remote is an important part of human civilization."Rachel's humor, as she rips open the sometimes strange complexities which she terms the "mancode" and lays bare our most private quirks, strokes our male egos even as she grinds hard on our more irritating habits. Her deep love for the men she berates comes through as she tries to make sense of our mysterious male behavior. This book will have both men and women rolling in laughter and nodding in agreement. Anyone who has ever lived with another person will find common ground in her observations.I recommend The Mancode: Exposed to every reader from young men and women starting to date to old married couples. You don't need to readA Walk in the Snarkfirst, but if you appreciate Rachel's humor I would recommend it as well. She also has a blog RachelintheOC.com for even more snarkalicious deconstructions.
