{"product_id":"9781450046268","title":"Alive or Dead: A Survival Manual for Husbands and Wannabes","description":"Alive or Dead is narrated by Frederick B. Flutterbottom, a self-styled marriage guru who has little faith in professional counselors.  He preps his target audience (intellectually disadvantaged husbands and hormonally enraged single men) with a short story in which a typical husband relives his seven-year marital fiasco.    \u003cbr\u003eThe manual following the story addresses various issues\/problems that give rise to marital disharmony.  Flutterbottom gives suggestions, but no advice.  His approach is simplistic, based on the sort of reasoning the typical male employs: common sense, supplemented by tolerance, but complicated by intellectually superior wives.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128583897328,"sku":"9781450046268","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781450046268_p0.jpg?v=1763831857","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450046268","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
