Review
Have you heard the one about the bad first date? Probably not like this. In Crazy Girls, comedian Max Lance treats us to five first dates gone wrong, taking readers through a gauntlet of hopeful forays that culminate in a range of more or less disastrous denouements, from New Year's Eve drunkenness to an attempted spiritual conversion. But if his bad first dates aren't colossally worse than anyone else's, they are generally more fun in the retelling, not least because his Crazy Girls--Ingrid, Devin, Nina, Lauren, Tracy--are not that much crazier than the rest of us. And because of this candid admission, finally, we end up glad that Lance survives with a handful of compelling stories and a clean bill of health. --Jason Kirk

I gather Lance is in his twenties and it may be the kiss of death for his literary fortunes to know that this mini-memoir resonates with those of us in the coveted 65-to-death demographic, but that's life.
Lance is a fearless writer who is not afraid to reveal himself "warts and all," so much so that one hopes his parents are no longer living. His tales of dates from hell are the kind of thing that no parent would want to read, but that every parent (or at least, every father) will recognize from his own past.
Nice to know that for all the much-vaunted changes wrought by that long-ago "sexual revolution" the mating game is still as painful and hilarious as I remember it.

Lance is an amazingly funny writer and the book had me laughing out loud. Perfect kindle book for bringing on the subway and examining the women around me, wondering what secret craziness lurks beneath their normal-seeming exteriors. If you're looking for a solidly written, hilarious read, pick this one up.

What could easily be just a bunch of funny stories about "crazy dates" is in fact a great look at why we date who we do, what works and doesn't work in a relationship, and what ultimately dating should be about. It's got lots of comedy no doubt, but even the "crazy" girls in the story are usually given their due as fully realized and sympathetic people who are acting the way they are for a reason. Great hour read to pass a lunch break or a train ride

It's Okay
I felt that this book was a little boring. It seems to dwaddle thru the story line and made me wonder if the writer had lost the wil to finish this book.

Not great but not the worst
Mildly entertaining at best. Okay for a quick read if you need some fluff. Makes you glad you never dated this guy or his type.

A penny saved is a penny earned, or in this case 99c.
Did you enjoy this sample? No, well wait...yes, thank you for the $.99 I saved by seeing good reason not to go with 4 and 5 star reviews. Read more

It's so choppy and did not hold my attention. I think I was expecting something more amusing and in a better told story.
