Maddox is a fucking sellout.

Steve, A reviewer, May 16, 2006, 2 out of 5 stars
A book on manliness by a computer programmer - guaranteed disappointment
Maddox's legions of drooling, slavishly-devoted fans have helped this book enter the upper echelons of the bestseller lists, but the merits of the book itself are really limited. Reading reviews by Maddox fans, one sees a lot of 'Maddox rulz!', 'I base my life on his teachings,' and other such nonsense. Don't be fooled - the fact that it's selling well doesn't mean it's good. It's a lot like his website nowadays: sometimes funny, but mostly uninspired writing about manliness from a highly unqualified source.

There... that says it all.
