What an awful book. I went to this title because I had read the original book and thought this would be another book by Katherine Ann Samon, but found this instead. It was so bad. Not funny at all. clumsy and boring and second rate. how sad that the writiers could not come up with their own title. that itself says it all. if you really want to read a funny and original book, go to Samon's books and skip this sad copy-cat crew.

Worst book I have ever read. I thought I would get Samons book too and got this instead. It is awful. Why isn't my other review here? I also felt tricked. The glowing reviews are anonymous. How lame. I do not recommend this book to anybody.

I am looking for the real book and got sent to this one and that is bad. The real book by Samon is very hilarious and that is the one I have bought for a long time for Valentine's Day. This book is not funny and I do not like being tricked. I can tell from the other reader comment here that this whole thing is a gimmick because they wrote their own reviews. This all very bad. Where is Samon's Dates From Hell book?

This book is filled with humorous stories concerning bad dates

Dates From Hell (And A Few Moments Made In Heaven) could be headed for the same unlikely bestseller success as Chicken Soup for the Soul. The new dating book by Mike Harris & Victoria Jackson was released in September by small press, Cumerbland House Publishing, Inc. The title has the combined advantage of a clever concept, a dedicated publisher, and two highly energetic authors who believe they must do a good deal of self-marketing. All of this could lead to formidable success for this title. Dates From Hell reveals the funny-awful side of dating! What makes a dating experience so bad that it is burned forever in your memory as a Date From Hell? Everyone who has ever dated has their own definition-and their own particular tale to tell. The two authors just had to know. They launched an aptly named website and asked men and women from around the world to send them stories of awful evenings, noxious nights, and woeful weekends. Result? The book entitled Dates From Hell (And A Few Moments Made In Heaven).

Real life stories of dates from hell. The stories are re-written by Ms Jackson in a clumsy and poorly done manner, and the illustrations are equally bad. The stories themselves are kind of funny. Read it and you will feel better about yourself, if nothing else!

As someone profiled in this book (see "Good Knight"), I have to say that these things really do happen! And the way that Victoria and Mike handled my story, and all the others, is not only entertaining but kind. I've seen some other books where the person who submitted the story wasn't treated with respect - but this book is fantastic. I recommend it to anyone who is out there dating and needs a laugh, anyone who is thinking about how bad it can be...
