Ansari is as annoying as ever in this book.

Very interesting! A fascinating and original sociological study punctuated with Ansari's signature comedic style. I learned so much about my own generation and how our technological advances have changed the way we communicate with each…

Meh. Listened to the CD version in my car and was insulted by Ansari calling me lazy in his nasal voice for not reading his book. In fact, I was being efficient reading two books at once – a hard copy literary non-fiction and his drivel…

This was such a fun book to listen to! I finished it in just two days. I like how the authors combine scientific research with anecdotes and Aziz's own hilarious descriptions, which is a fun and engaging approach to nonfiction writing. The…

Interesting but not enough. This book really is for people who have no idea. A lot of this content was common sense with a bunch of dumb comedic fill ins

*AUDIO VERSION IS WORTH IT* This was an excellently well written and researched look into the current state of relationships and courtship in America. Aziz's trademark humor is well represented, but rather than detract from the work…

This was a fascinating read about the history and current practices of dating and relationships. I admit, it did start to get depressing about the middle of the book, thinking, ugh, nothing will work, everyone will cheat. But I really…

Author & narrator Aziz Ansari digs a little deeper to figure out what drives relationship behaviors. From committed, monogamous couples to playful, roving singles, he covers about every type of person/couple & the issues they face when…

An entertaining audiobook with supplemental anecdotes that brings the content to life. Ansari doesn't tell us what's wrong with modern romance, or why one way or time of doing things is superior to another. Instead, he examines how the…

I wouldn't say this was an amazing book in regards to content, but in regards to audiobooks I thought it was one of the best. Aziz's commentary throughout the book was both funny and relatable. I liked how he acknowledged that he was…

Comedian Aziz Ansari teams up with sociologist Eric Klinenberg to explore today’s complex dating scene. Their observations are both interesting and amusing.

I have to admit, when I pick up a book written by a "celebrity" I immediately and skeptically assume there's a ghostwriter. But although Aziz Ansari's co-author and research partner Eric Klinenberg is an NYU sociologist, I'm convinced…

What happens when a comedian and a sociologist team up to figure out what the deal is with today's dating scene? This hilarious, compelling, interesting, fun book. Ansari interviews people young & old from all over the world put a finger…

This was so well researched. It really explored modern dating in a very scientific approach. The humor added to the understanding of the science and data by making it personal.

Want something funny? Want something informative? Listen to this! Aziz Ansari co-wrote and narrated the book, so you know it's good.

I was impressed with Aziz! Anticipating the comedy blue-print of personal experiences and anecdotes, Aziz surprised with a research like approach to dating in the 21st century. Informative and hilarious - this book should be read by any…

Aziz Ansari does not disappoint. All these facts are highly interesting and he explains them in his comedic way.

So interesting! And entertaining, to boot. A lot of the material has been covered in Aziz's standup, but still fun to read about here. He clearly did a ton of research and was able to present the information in a very engaging way.

This book is an entertaining and interesting take on modern relationships. Even though I am married, and have been with my husband since before online dating really became socially acceptable, it was interesting to read about changes that…

Ansari has great disdain for people who listen to audio books instead of reading text.

Very factual but still humorous. You can see there was a lot of research done, as well as food consumption!

I wasn't sure I was going to like this, but found it so interesting! The actual statistics on modern day love are so intertesting. I can't believe the marriage trend in Japan!

Knew nothing about this book when I checked it out - assumed it was a memoir. I was surprised and a bit disappointed after 10 minutes into the recording, to find out it was about modern relationships. However, Aziz is hilarious throughout…

MODERN ROMANCE made me feel old. Like, ridiculously old-fashioned, basically geriatric. Every statistic about love in your twenties doesn't apply to me at all, which really forced me to look at the larger picture of the world around me. As…
