2.0 out of 5 stars
There are better books if you are thinking about an affair, August 20, 2004
This review is from: How to Have an Affair and Never Get Caught! (Hardcover)
I breezed through this book in about 90 minutes. There are three worthwhile chapters: Mistakes, Masters, and Contemporary Affairs. The other 30 percent of the book is entertaining, but not particularly enlightening. The cartoons did not add anything to the content. If you are contemplating an affair, the author provides some good common sense rules of thumb (don't leave receipts for sexy lingerie lieing around) but does not provoke thought or insight. This book is more suitable in the bathroom of a single person for entertainment, than as a reference. It was the first one that came up on my search, and the first one I read on the subject. I have since ordered two more in hopes of something more substantive.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Entertaining, and naughty - but not a book for everyone!, November 16, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Have an Affair and Never Get Caught! (Hardcover)
This book was a truly enjoyable read for me. I especially loved the historical, religious and scientific references which I found to be delighfully humorous. However, I can see where individuals who are insecure in their relationships, are religious, or, who themselves have been a victim of infidelity, would not appreciate the contents of this clever book. So I don't advise the read unless you are open-minded enough to relish its brazen viewpoints. This book is a great read for those who have had an affair, are thinking of having one, or are one of those rare individuals who at least have the capacity to understand why people become unfaithful. I am happily married and loved the read. So did my wife. If nothing else, you do learn the pitfalls of infidelity from other experiences, so this book might just keep you faithful after all.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Semiliterate and grossly overpriced, October 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Have an Affair and Never Get Caught! (Hardcover)
If you're looking for a pamphlet's worth of dull, sketchy anecdotes padded with the author's shallow, self-absorbed musings and lots of blank white paper, trying to pass itself off as a "book" at inflated expense, then this is for you. If you're looking for worthwhile information (whichever way you stand on the topic) told with humor, then pass this ripoff item by and try Wirsch & Milot's "Gotcha!" instead.
