As Ms. Salmansohn says, this is "the book every single girl needs to defend against nudgy family and friends." But this witty, humorously illustrated book is more than that, it is a wise look at the virtues of carefully choosing a partner rather than racing to the altar with just anyone. As such, this book is of equal value to young unmarried men.

The lines and the cartoons are equally funny, and nicely reinforce each other. I can only reproduce some of the former, but they will give you a flavor of the book.

". . . I can't fix you up with any cute guys. However, I can fix you up with some feisty comebacks."

". . . hold out for a soulmate, instead of a cell mate."

". . . Hitler got married."

"And God is even in a single parent household."

"Why make one man happy, when you can make a lot of men happy?"

"Married versus Marred"

"Altar versus Altered"

"Marriage versus Mirage"

"A hit single"

But my favorite was " . . . being careful about whom I marry means I've . . . skipped a few divorces."

The best part of the book is that it will cause any single person (and parent of said single person) to consider the alternative to being happily unmarried, which could be being unhappily married. That's well worth thinking about.

After you have had a good laugh with this book and considered its serious lessons, I suggest that you take at look at Relationship Rescue, which many married couples can use to improve their marriages. By examining that book now and doing the exercises in it, I suspect you'll find Mr. or Ms. Right sooner and build a better life together.

As Edith Piaf used to say, "Je ne regrette rien, j'avance."

Have a great life, unmarried or married!

In this delightful little book the Authore Karen Salmansohn gives 26 witty but truthful and factual reasons to tell people for being single. The illustrations are stylish and clever and just enhance the subject matter of the book. This is the kind of book you should have as a keepsake or give as a gift to all your single female friends and even Salmansohn suggest that it should be given to whoe she calls your"nudgy" friends and relatives. At my age I am asked all the time " why aren't you married" a lot and if something is wrong with my appearence or something because I am not married. So I knew when I saw this book in a catalog I just had to order a copy for myself and I highly reccomend it to all single women everywhere. I thought even of getting a copy of it to send to a long time friend of mine in another country where people put pressure on women to get married. This is a book I highly reccomend and enjoy.

I love this book! For every woman who has been to a family reunion or worse, a wedding, and has been asked,"So are YOU seeing anyone?" or "You're an attractive smart girl. Why aren't YOU married?" this book is for you. After years of feeling awkward and sad about my Singlehood, I was fortunately, able to come to my own realization that I am actually pretty happy being single and that it will take someone special to fill the shoes of
HUSBAND.
How I wish I had found this book years ago, though!
It's a sass sister's dream come true! I found myself laughing out loud and nodding my head "Yeah! Right on!" It's a snappy, clever look at the prevailing social pressure to get married. It reminds us Single Girls that while marriage may seem like the key to everlasting happiness, there is a more realistic side to matrimony. I'd like to kick back and drink a Cosmopolitan with the author. She sounds like a cool chick!

This one is shorter than most of Karen Salmansohn's books, but it certainly is sweet. Marriage is not the be-all and end-all of life in the 21st Century !! Of course, if you do want to change your status, check out her new book for 2003 -- "How To Change Your Entire Life By Doing Absolutely Nothing" -- which I also enjoyed very much. Perceptive humor can be good for you.

Even God is Single is a wonderfully irreverent look at all the reasons why being single is not the end of the world and may even be a plus. Not only is it well written but the illustrations are fabulous. Never let anyone dare question your single status again. Buy the book if you or a friend needs a good laugh.

What a wonderfully entertaining, hysterically funny bible for single women. Ms. Salmonsohn obviously knows her stuff and has expressed it in such a brilliantly humerous way that every girl single or not can relate. Bravo!! Thanks for the validation, encouragement and enpowerment, it's great to be single-Girl Power!!!

miss salmansohn does it again! this book is so sweet, touching, uplifting and right on. a must-have for every single gal (and her mother).karen bathes the subject in her own brand of heart-warming humor.also, a feast for the eyes. her aesthetic sensibility is rivaled only by her clever wit. go girl!

Single women everywhere should mail this clever little book to family, friends, etc. who need to understand why we are smart to steer clear of the marriage trap! Actually, it makes a good gift for our single friends who are doubting themselves, too. (I just mailed one to a friend.) Thanks to the writer and the illustrator for representing single life as a chic choice, and not a desperate fate. I'll proudly display this book on my coffee table.

Ever been single? 100% of you just said yes since none of us were married when we were born.

Salmonsohn is uniquely hilarious in her assessment of singledom, famous singles and God as a single person. If God is single, and God (if you believe in one) is pretty cool and generous, then all singles must be just as fabulous, right?

Whether you're currently single, married, a raging serial monogamist, have multiple partners or (gasp!) simply want to be single to avoid the hassle, you'll love this parody. Because we were all there at one time or another. And might be again.

great book for any age female that isn't looking for Mr. Right to get married, maybe just Mr. Right Now to hold her over. a good reminder that you don't have to be married to matter.
