Synopsis

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, everyone is familiar with the tired cliches: women are bad drivers and are not good with money; only guys play video games and they give bad directions. Dan Abrams tackles the toughest case of his career in Man Down. Drawing on years of legal experience and research studies, Abrams explains step-by-step why women are better than men in just about every way imaginable, from managing money to flying planes to living longer. Abrams uses his trademark charm to get his point across without opining on the issue himself. Chock-full of fun facts and conversation starters, this book may not end the debate of men versus women, but it will definitely make it more interesting.

One of my favorite quotes..."Someone once asked me why women don’t gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensical reply that we don’t have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact,......more

Women are better then men at alot of things. But we don't go around and brag about it. Well maybe. I especially liked Chapter 6. WOMEN ARE BETTER WITH HAMMERS. Seems men can't hit the target with a hard object to pound into another surface. Could it be because he wants to be all macho and over does......more

Goodreads review by Sara on September 15, 2011

I was a bit disappointed in this book. The title and concept was very intriguing, of course, but the chapters were only one or two pages long and gave short abrupt "scientific findings" about why a woman is better at [blank]. I felt very short changed.......more

Goodreads review by Marjorie on October 24, 2020

Kind of fun to read about the areas in which women excel, but it's also a little 'cutesy'. Furthermore, when you're looking at the studies that have only a few dozen people in them (many of the studies had larger sample sizes), it's hard to take them seriously.......more
