CAD The Los Angeles Times bestseller, now in paperback--tales of the notorious New York dating scene, told from the other side of the bed. Rick Marin offers himself up for an in-depth look at man's superficial nature. At 28, a brief, doomed first marriage thrusts Marin back into Bachelor Hell. A journalist as eager to make it in Manhattan as with its female population, our emotionally myopic hero can never seem to tell if the woman in front of him is too crazy or too sane, until she gets too close. Falling out of love as often as he falls in, he vows more than once to clean up his act, only to relapse into another bender of beauties, blow-offs, and bad behavior...

Review:
In the mildly entertaining memoir Cad: Confessions of a Toxic Bachelor, former New York Times reporter and pop-culture critic Rick Marin chronicles the years of marathon dating and shallow living that followed in the wake of his failed "starter marriage." Marin moves through a series of urbane exploits and short-lived affairs, perfecting his trademark move of whipping off his horn-rim glasses mid-conversation in a "myopic gaze," holding court with his wingman Tad over the hot buffet at Billy's Topless, and regurgitating wisdom gleaned from The Godfather. Like the similarly self-indulgent How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, Cad has its memorable moments--Marin comparing his wedding video to the Zapruder film and hitting on actress Moira Kelly when she was still an ingénue living with her mother on Long Island--but the book's swinging, ring-a-ding-ding Rat Pack attitude feels noticeably forced and uninspired, leaving a flat aftertaste to the whole affair. --Brad Thomas Parsons, Amazon.com
Review:
"The shocking truth about what some men really think about women. Read it if you dare."

"Very funny, often desperately funny, and as sure-footed about the Manhattan dating/mating scene as antyhing I've read. A real achievement."

"Hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt, this is a book every woman should read and then share with the man in her life -- or, at the very least, throw at his head."

"99 per cent of men give all the rest a bad name. Thanks to Cad, women now have the wisdom to know the difference. Is Rick Marin a cad? Hell, he wrote the book."
