English Summary/英文概要： Funny, affecting and life-affirming novel for everyone who has ever felt that sometimes life really is pants...

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 「在這個世界上，只有那麼兩件事是確定無疑的：首先，你生活在一塊碩大的巨石之上，它孤懸於浩瀚的宇宙中，並以每小時67,000公里的時速保持自轉；其次就是，塵歸塵土歸土，終有一天，你的肉體亦將要灰飛煙滅。所以，再多一雙新鞋給自己究竟又有什麼意義？」-- 沃斯購物準則第12條
喬治.沃斯終日工作在女性的世界裏，身為一名生活類專欄作家的他過得頗為鬱鬱寡歡。這個性情乖戾的傢伙對於新興事物總是顯得非常抵觸，不僅時尚、手機還有電腦讓他慍怒不已，現今的年青人更是令他嗤之以鼻。朝九晚五，每當沃斯披星戴月踏上下班的歸途之時，在家中守候他的除去一隻寄養的拉布拉多犬外，便是他對於過世亡妻漫漫的愧疚和思念。
與沃斯截然相反的是，年輕的賈斯丁.史密斯朝氣蓬勃，這個初來乍到的新人對於流行風尚可謂是無比熱衷，他酷愛上網衝浪，終日與手機另一頭的女友侃個沒完。直到某天，賈斯丁的女友將其掃地出門，無處可去的他不得不面對與喬治合宿的尷尬。同一屋簷下，面對周遭女人們的指指點點，這兩個男人終於開始各自重新審視起現代生活當中的迷惘與缺失。
整本故事詼諧風趣且發人深省，令致讀者於會心一笑的同時亦會有所感悟。(ANDY)
