As a fellow self-help/relationship author, I'm always curious what other people are writing about in my subject matter. And being a guy, I find that what women have to say is particularly interesting.

This book which is geared more toward the under 30 crowd is well-written and interesting. It's front cover doesn't do it justice however (a graphic art look would have been nice).

I like the "Dates From Hell" sidebars along with some interesting features and subtitles like: First Date Conversation No-No's (diseases, obsessive behaviors, friends in jail), Top Ten Rejection Lines and What They Mean (I'm not attracted to you in "that way" means I'm not attracted to you, period.), What Is It About Bad Boys, and The One: Why Do Guys Expect To Find a Beautiful Princess.

Here's a book with a lot of potential that needs an expert co-author for more authority, a new catchy title, and better packaging (Sex and the City-type colors/graphics).

At a time when the public is so enamored with popular television shows like The Bachelor, Joe Millionaire, and The Bachelorette, this is a delightful little book that young single people could really benefit from and enjoy.

The Bottom Line: it's got some good original stuff!

Another great "small" book from the best canadian advice columnist. More focused on the activity of dating than her other books, "Dating" delivers down to earth, up-to-date advice on how to survive as a dating bachelor in today's world. Josey's straight forward, concise and always funny writing style makes this book a very relaxing and instructional bedtime reading.
