Going into this book, I didn't honestly think birth order could tell me who would be a good match. Boy, was I surprised! Turns out that birth order is the number *one* predictor of personality. If only I had known that before my last three boyfriends! Do you know what I mean? In a word, birth order tells you what to expect from these potential matches *before* you get into long-term relationships with them. Want to know why that firstborn is going to boss you around all day? Want to know why that lastborn is going to be late for dates? Want to know why that only child is going to be the little egotist he is? Read and weep. Just kidding. . . . Read and find out! You'll finish this book, like I did, with a cozy warm feeling inside, knowing that you, too, now have secret insights into just about everyone!

If you read the author's website: [...], you'll pretty much get the whole gist of the book. Since William is trying to sell a full length novel from the handful of useful information he's acquired, a lot of the book is thus composed of 'fillers.' Every chapter, he teaches you how to break up with that certain person (an older brother of brothers, younger sister of brothers, older sister of sister, etc) and all of his techniques sound the same. His argument with celebrity birth orders start to sound paper thin as his chapters contradict each other, over and over again. All in all, this book is akin to the daily astrology you read in a newspaper.
