The Bro Code

By: Barney Stinson

Narrated by: Neil Patrick Harris

Everyone's life is governed by an internal code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others call it religion. But Bros in the know call this holy grail the Bro Code.

Historically a spoken tradition passed from one generation to the next, the official code of conduct for Bros appears here in its published form for the first time ever. By upholding the tenets of this sacred and legendary document, any dude can learn to achieve Bro-dom.

Smaller Doses

My opinion is biased, because of my love for the show How I Met Your Mother. That said I loved this, Neil Patrick Harris was great, and all the entries were hilarious and very creative! I just personally didn't find listening to the whole thing in one sitting a good idea. I found it to be more fitting for a bathroom book.

Brolarious

Would you listen to The Bro Code again? Why?

I would listen to the Bro Code again. It was both funny and informative. Neil Patrick Harris gives a great performance.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Bro Code?

All the moments in the Bro Code were memerable.

What about Neil Patrick Harris???s performance did you like?

I enjoyed the the way that Neil Patrick Harris flawlessly delivered the narrative as Barney Stinson would have.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not Really.

not even close to being a favorite

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

We love "How I Met Your Mother" and the Barney Stinson character, but the audio book fell short.

What was most disappointing about Barney Stinson’s story?

I think for us, the Bro codes are more amusing when it is imbedded in a larger situation.

The book that governs all Bros.

A must read for all Bros to be. This is the sacred text governing over any and all Bros or Bros to be. While not all rules must be remembered, the most important ones are to be memorized and never be forgotten. Every bro should read this sacred text by 16 and the Playbook after losing their virginity OR if they're still a kiss less virgin by 17.

Halarious Read

Very funny book, Didn't find the PDF spoken about though.... Had me laughing the whole time.

LEGEN...DARY

Not only is this book amazing; the fact that NPH narrated just increases the awesome factor.

How I Met Your Mother

Narrator was excellent! Neal Patrick Harris gives all of the rules of his code from the show.

If you love How I Met Your Mother...

... you'll love this. I found myself laughing out loud for most of the book-- Neil Patrick Harris' reading is hilarious, and when I finished it the first time I started it right over again. I have a friend who bought a paperback of the book, and I'm so glad I got the audiobook instead- NPH's reading elevates this book from "pretty funny" to outright hilarity. If you're not familiar with the show, the book's subject and the rules he outlines are indeed sexist: it's from the perspective of guys trying to get laid, and includes rules like the old "Bros before ho's". But it's taken to a ridiculous, comical extreme, and NPH's reading in a dramatically too-serious manner really brings out the comedy. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and highly recommend it to any fan of NPH or How I Met Your Mother.

About what you might suspect

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Entertaining, but pretty much standard issue misogyny

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I liked how it was organized like a constitution - but the reading became a bit tiresome.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Neil Patrick Harris?

Yes - he has nice delivery, and I think the limitations were limited to the material

Was The Bro Code worth the listening time?

Sure

Any additional comments?
