2.0 out of 5 stars not worth it, March 20, 2005

Dirk W - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Definitive Book of Pick-Up Lines (Paperback)

While I am a big fan of his website and stories, the stuff in this book is pure crap. Half of "his" lines are old lines I have heard used a dozen times. A couple of them are adaptations of jokes that are from the 2nd grade -- and weren't even funny then. Personally I think this is very out of character for Tucker. A real letdown.

I didn't crack a smile the whole time.

1.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a disappointment, May 23, 2001

This review is from: The Definitive Book of Pick-Up Lines (Paperback)

I actually didn't find this book to be helpful nor amusing. There's just nothing new in it that justifies going out and buying it. It was a waste of my time.

1.0 out of 5 stars SOOOOO CLICHE, June 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Definitive Book of Pick-Up Lines (Paperback)

There is nothing different, or special, or even slightly amusing about this book. It's just like 2000 other books out there on the subject of dating that think they're amusing. Don't bother buying this - it was boring, tedious, and dry at best. I should have known it was going to suck as soon as the author said he's still single. .... Maybe you need to get some new pick-up lines!
