4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely funny book.
I owned this book a few years ago, lent it out and never got it back. The schemes here run the gamut of severity and complexity, many being quite plausible. But primarily, this book made me laugh more than almost any other book I have ever read. The cruelest ideas are the funniest. Perhaps I should feel guilty about that, but, oh well.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is useful only for revenge on a close friend.
This is a pamphlet at best, puffed up to book size by inane, unrelated cartoons and half-pages of print. Its grammar and syntax are deplorable. Most of the means of revenge that it offers require access to the victim's property that would only be afforded to a close friend. It might be useful in destroying a close relationship if one doesn't mind being the only...

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is useful only for revenge on a close friend., January 13, 1999

This review is from: Art of Getting Even (Hardcover)
This is a pamphlet at best, puffed up to book size by inane, unrelated cartoons and half-pages of print. Its grammar and syntax are deplorable. Most of the means of revenge that it offers require access to the victim's property that would only be afforded to a close friend. It might be useful in destroying a close relationship if one doesn't mind being the only suspect for the vengeful act. Most of the remaining methods are more like puerile dreams of getting even rather than practical courses of action.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another piece of crap from Gary Brodsky, September 5, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Art of Getting Even (Hardcover)
Yet again Gary Brodsky shows that he does not care what his name is attached to as long as he can make money. This book, if it can be classified as a book, is an inferior product. The writing is full of typographical and gramatical errors. The subject matter is uninspired and poorly rendered. This book is even worse than Brodsky's other print abomination- Mind Of The Cat. Both books are not worth thinking about much less buying. If your local library has a copy of this book, try to convince them to recycle it.

1.0 out of 5 stars SOPHOMORIC TRASH, May 26, 2004
This review is from: Art of Getting Even (Hardcover)
This was the most mean-spirited book I've ever read. Expecting practical jokes, I found felonious stunts that could easily land you in jail. I wouldn't think of recycling it in any way. Straight to the garbage it goes. Shame on you, Gary Brodsky, as well as the publisher of this trash.

5.0 out of 5 stars I read it, used it, and it worked!, March 13, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Art of Getting Even (Hardcover)
Gary Brodsky is a certified genius. First he was able to tell me exactly what my cat was thinking, and now he gave me the inspiration to finally get my jerk of a boss back for all the grief he's caused me! Of course, it got me fired, and my lawyer says the charges might stick, but it was totally worth it. 6 stars out of five. Bravo Mr. Brodsky!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best thing since sliced bread, December 14, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Art of Getting Even (Hardcover)
Before I read this wonderfully informative book, my boss owned and abused my soul, making my days horrors and my nights sleepless. Now he's in thirteen pieces burried in my back yard. Best "how to" book I ever read. Bravo!

Several of the tidbits in the book are terrific. We would really like to contact the author to turn this book into a comic. Thanx -- Chip Shepherd
