A couple co-workers introduced me to this book and read me a couple of the "Articles". I then found out it was written, based on a Character in the sit-com "How I Met Your Mother". I had never seen the show, but the co-workers watched it, as does my Son. Very funny. The book is just a funny, warped look at a pseudo lifestyle that borders on reality (for Bro's that is!). I've since bought 6 copies for Christmas presents for fellow "Bro's". You can't miss with guys from their teens through their '50's.

A warning: If you have never watched HIMYM, this book is not for you, (unless you have a veeery thick skin). In order to really get most of the jokes, let alone not go out and start protesting for women's rights after the first few pages, (not that protesting for women's rights is wrong...) you really should be a fan of the show.
Other than that, although I would have liked to see more new things, instead of a transcription of the show according to Barney. Although old favourites like the crazy/hot scale were back, and were much appreciated. The book is a short read, so when buying it be aware that it's sort of like a children's book in that there are only a few sentences per page, (although the similarties between it and a children's book end there). Still for a HIMYM fan, it's harmless bubblegum fun.

The Bro Code
written by Barnabus Stinson, in the years of the constitution. A book which describes how one another should react if such have a bro.
A book with great potential, and a lot of fun quotes and codes you just have to use some of in your daily basis.
I opened the book and began to read. I was hooked. I kept reading and as soon as I begun, I was finished with the book.
It is a book with legen.. wait for it.. dary potential in your every day life, and you can use it between your friends, who is also your bros.
A great book which I with out a doubt will recommend every man and bro to read, as a must.
Thank you for the publishing of this great bro code.
Hypothetical high five

I was looking for something that was low on think and high on laugh. This definitely fit the bill! You are most likely going to rip through this pretty quickly. Think of it as a collection of one liners that are likely to at least get you grinning and in some cases laughing out loud.
While the eBook/Kindle version gives you all the words, after looking at the print version, it definitely does not give you the full experience. Some of the great gags in here are tied to pictures and images in the book. While an attempt is made to include these in the eBook version, it really does not cut it. They are hard to make out and end up contributing far less to the fun than they do in the print version.
Clearly, this is one of those examples of what we sometimes lose in the translation from print copy to eBook.

Listening to the audiobook is definitely the best way to read this. Barney Stinson himself narrates. It was a good way to pass the time, and the accompanying pdf file is pretty funny, but I wouldn't go out of my way to read this unless you're a huge huge fan of How I Met Your Mother and Neil Patrick Harris.
