Women beware! You’ll read Life Sentence and want to return your fiancŽ as if he were a bad wedding present. You’ll want a new and improved man. However, take the book for what it is worth – a survival guide for men who have just gotten engaged and might be a little bit nervous about the implications of that. JD Smith, 100 percent guy’s guy and author of this tongue-in-cheek book, married a woman he deemed to be perfect. During his engagement period, he thought about what marriage, per se, really means: what it’s like to have in-laws, to be faithful to one woman for the rest of your life, and to forget about relaxation. Needless to say, these thoughts really frightened Smith. And in Life Sentence, he writes about how he felt on all of these issues.
