Mike O'Brien thought he had it all. A semi-retired Internet millionaire, Mike had a beautiful wife and a relaxing life - until he discovered that his wife was part of possibly the greatest, and oldest, conspiracy in history. Dan Merchant and B. Scott Taylor's satiric, sharp novel tells the story of how stay-at-home wives communicate and collaborate to control the lives of married men.
Best book of the year that nobody will ever hear about. Should be a mandatory read for guys flying home from thier Bachelor Parties. Funny how some people write down in publish what others just think about. I wonder if Oprah will have him on to discuss it with Jennifer Anniston? B.Scott Taylor for President!
Funnier if it weren't so true

Laugh out loud funny. Like any good conspiracy theory, some solid facts, well observed connections, and a lot of creative guess work makes this a perfect light summer read. As a stay at home dad, I alternated between cracking up at the depiction of how the mind of a married man works and sighing with resignation at the horrors of a life secretly out of my control. Sometimes I even "earned points" by sharing carefully selected parts with my go-to-work wife.
Pretty Stinkin' Funny!

If you like a little truth with your comedy or a little comedy with your truth then you'll enjoy The Great American Stay-At-Home-Wives Conspiracy. A fast, funny, read that takes you inside a husband's head and inside the wives' suburbs -- you decide which is more frightening. The reversible cover is hilarious too.

I was really surprised that I liked this book. It is the funniest book I have read. Great humor and I think it hits to close to home for some of those women who don't realize how good they have it..
So true it's scary!

Couldn't put it down...read it in one sitting! Laughed so hard I cried. Loved the duel dust jacket. Would make a great movie!
