Tim "the Toolman" Allen wrestles with some urgent questions faced by modern man. What is real? What should I eat for breakfast? (Gummy cinnamon buns or the cereal no one can pronounce?) Why do parents tell you not to stir your ice cream into soup? Why are the canned beans next to the tampons in the market?

After reading this book, I have a new and better view of Tim Allen. This review is also to counter the mindless and sometimes rediculous negative reviews by some Amazon.com contributors. Tim's first book was much more comedy oriented. If this had been his first book, the masses would not have believed it was written by Tim Allen, the grunting, knuckle-dragging man-nut from television comedy. Mr Allen presents us with a deep, thought provoking and emotional (yes, there WAS some real emotion here) journey with a douse of fiction which creates an interesting and truly good read. I was thoroughly entranced with this book, and it was not difficult to understand. It did not require much thought or concentration to get in to, yet also did not require that you throw logic out the window to enjoy. Kudos to Mr. Allen for creating a beautiful piece of literature.

An interesting male rendition of mid-life and what most people really think about. There are many funny aspects from Allen, but it is more philosophical. I enjoyed it quite a bit....makes you think and laugh at the same time.
