5.0 out of 5 stars FUNNY STUFF. PERIOD. The only negative reviews are from teachers., May 8, 2007

This review is from: The Cheater's Handbook : The Naughty Student's Bible (Hardcover)

I stumbled across this author's media reel on YouTube and thought he was pretty interesting so I bought this book to check it out. Some of the material is a little dated because it was written in the late 90's before Blackberries revolutionised the art of cheating, but overall this book is really funny. He goes off on some ridiculous comedy tangets about the anthropological roots of cheating by cavemen and other silly topics like that, but the drawings and diagrams are the funniest parts... like how to make a T that looks like an F for true or false tests, or how to fake a yawn while pulling your cheat-sheet out... stuff like that. It's kind of in the "so ridiculous that it's funny" category. Having read the book now, I couldn't understand the two negative reviews on here that I'd read before I bought it. Well... I guess I can understand when they say the book mostly covers stuff that most cheaters already know, but it's all done in such a funny way so how could they say it's not funny?!? If nothing else, this writer and his writing style is VERY funny. So then I just clicked on the bio of the negative reviewer and guess what? It's a teacher! Duh! Now it all makes sense! Hahahaha. (I couldn't click on the other guy's but I'd bet anything he's a teacher too.). Whatever the case, I highly recommend this book for it's comedy.

As a high school student, I picked this up for a gift for my friend. I began reading it and I was hooked. I have read this book three times it gets better each time. The best part of this book is how the author tells you the things that can go wrong. The real treat is this book is written by a cheater.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE ULTIMATE CHEATER'S DREAM, September 2, 2000

By 

Bonita L. Davis - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Cheater's Handbook : The Naughty Student's Bible (Hardcover)

Beware, such a book as this is a danger to the young minds (and not so yount) who are trying to make it in institutions of higher yearning (I mean learning) and want to cut corners. Why is this book so dangerous? Contained on every page are techniques proven over time on how to successfully cheat on tests, papers and labs. Students who hold this book in their hands will feel that they have died and gone to Cheater's Heaven.

Come with our author as he shows you the classic techniques of cheating from the stone age. Learn how to dress for cheater's success when taking a test. Meditate on various strategic ways of positioning yourself as you copy some one's answers on an exam. Oh, if you don't feel like writing that boring paper, pay a research service to do it for you

This is a hilarious book that takes us down to memory lane in the halls of cheatdome. Ah, as an errant youth do you remember your wandering eyes and crib notes? The author's presentation is funny on the subject of cheating and deserves four stars. In terms of ethics, forget it. But this is a book of humor. Enjoy and laugh. Just make sure the kids don't get it.
