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.

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.

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.

Very funny look at the moral pitfalls of our human nature, with plenty of reasons not to have an affair from those who have been caught! I liked the historical and scientific perspectives and how the author is compelled to speak out about what most people think, but are afraid to say. A delight to read and educational too!

A quick read, this book details some of the pitfalls you can face when having an affair. There are several tips that can help you keep your sanity and paranoia under control. The expert tips from "the masters" are alone worth the cost of the book.

The book is an easy read. It explores the fidelity and sexuality of people and the institution of marriage.

The true life examples presented are witty and funny.

Jay Louise has done an excellent job covering the how and why people have extramarital affairs.

Ms. Louise offers a very humorous look at what can be a very sensitive issue. The book is easy to read and can't help but leave you smiling.

With the current political scandals, this book should be standard issue to all politicians entering office!

Fantastic book jacket and illustrations!

If you are considering having an affair and think this book will keep you from getting caught, think again. You'll get caught anyway. If you are thinking of having an affair, think again. Whatever your reason it is not valid. Don't fool yourself into thinking you are justified.
In several years of working with betrayed spouses I find the premise of this book outrageous.
It stoops to a new low in morality and ethics that unfortunately is reflective of our warped society. To try to help people destroy lives and families is nothing short of moral insanity. If you want to have an affair, have the courage to tell your spouse you want to move on. Don't be a coward slinking in the shadows and playing games.
The book is sophomoric, poorly written and an insult to all whose lives have been destroyed by an unthinking and morally depraved partner. You cannot justify this kind of betrayal for any reason, none.
And, you will get caught eventually. Those who have affairs think they are smarter than everyone else but they are not, they always slip up because the hormone soup generated by extramarital sex is like a drug and interferes with your judgement.
This book is only for the cowards and pathetic players among us.

Anyone contemplating or in a relationship that involves unfaithfulness and betrayal to and of another deserves to get caught and face the appropriate consequences and anyone who would encourages others to do so is sick and dysfunctional.
