Here are fifty boyfriends so bad you'll toast to being single.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bad boyfriends., March 9, 2006

If you've ever had a bad or weird boyfried before, then you will love this book. The steroetypical discriptions of each boyfriend are hilarious and ring true in many cases. The pictures that go along with each boyfriend complete the description, and are even funny on their own. This is a must-have for any girl who's going through a breakup or just needs a laugh.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amusing to Me. Could Be Hilarious for Some, December 31, 2009

This review is from: 50 Boyfriends Worse Than Yours (Hardcover)

For me, 50 Jobs Worse Than Yours by the same author is a laugh out loud book. Maybe only a woman can appreciate the humor in 50 Boyfriends, but for me it's just amusing. The stereotype boyfriends are hit or miss as far as humor goes, some funnier than others. Each of the terrible 50 include a photo and a miscellany of descriptive tidbits like: their look, ringtone, benefits, drawbacks, the date, profile, his ride, and his place. With so many jokes, not every one can hit the mark. Mrs. Spudman and the Spudette actually enjoyed this book more than I did.

As with the other Racz books, the photographs are my favorites. I especially liked the pics of the personal trainer, Mr. Miami Beach (you've seen a million of these old guys), the actor/musician Applebee's waiter,Worst Kisser Ever, and the Vegan. Want some light reading that'll bring a smile to your face. Try the books in this series.

Here's a closing sample for you, a drawback for the Lonely Literature Reader - "Standing naked, he recites his poetry to you, which sucks."
That poetry thing never worked for me either.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very goofy, November 17, 2011

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: 50 Boyfriends Worse Than Yours (Hardcover)

Think your boyfriend is bad? Well, Justin Racz has found 50 boyfriends that are worse than yours, and he has a little bio on each and every one of them. Each schmuck gets a picture, and a list of details - what's good (yeah, he has some good points) and what's bad (Ok, he has a lot more bad points than good ones).

Yeah, this is a pretty fun book. It's light on text (you can easily read it within a half hour), but it's pretty heavy on humor. This is a very goofy look at the dating scene. I hope that he comes out with a 50 Girlfriends Worse Than Yours book soon!
