Thank you Ruth Harris, for making me smile with Husband Training School. This talented author introduces us to three exasperated wives and their exasperating husbands in the first few chapters of this book, and we also meet the enterprising woman who runs a boot camp that teaches the men to be good husbands.
The men are as different as night and day. Will Trailer is a young baseball player, Gordo Canholme is a young father to be, and Howard Hopkins is recently retired from a job where he was in charge of over fifty people. Their one commonality is that they are impossibly annoying husbands who are one step away from needing divorce lawyers.
Their wives had all heard about a training school (HTC) run by Robin Aguirre and her husband, and the husbands were all "sent" there. Of course the reader must suspend belief, because none of these men would have accepted this challenge in real life, and, if by some strange miracle they did, none would have stayed after meeting Robin. This ex-marine drill instructor cuts no slack for these husbands. She has trained many before them, and she expects results.
This is definitely not a book that will encourage deep thinking or discussion, but it will make you laugh. There is not a woman who can't relate to what these wives are dealing with, and it is fun watching the men learn the steps to being a good husband.
It seems to be written in good nature, and I imagine men will get a few chuckles (and a few lessons) out of this, too. Recommended for all of us who don't take ourselves to seriously.
