Absolutely hilarious, April 26, 2007
This review is from: How to Tell if Your Boyfriend Is the Antichrist (Hardcover)
In the current market of "gift books," sometimes I wonder if there's really room for another. But when I picked up "How to Tell If Your Boyfriend Is the Antichrist," I started laughing out loud from the first page and couldn't put it down until I read the entire thing. Don't skip over the acknowledgements page, which is yet another example of Carlin's hilariously dry writing style.

How to Tell If Your Boyfriend Is the Antichrist: the Game, can't be far behind!, March 10, 2007
This review is from: How to Tell if Your Boyfriend Is the Antichrist (Hardcover)
How to tell if your boyfriend is the Antichrist:
1. Does he skip saying "God bless you" when you sneeze?
2. Does he not care about WWJD (What would Jesus do)?
3. Does he forego recycling?
4. Is he self-conscious about his cloven hooves?
How do you tell whether he is a robot, a Trekkie, a twin, or a woman?
These, and many other "red flag" labels for potential boyfriends are cleverly discussed by Patricia Carlin in this neat, small, and R-rated book. She continues with strategies to consider if you, indeed, find out that "Roger" is a Scientologist, a serial killer, or a polygamist! Witty, witty. This would be a great book to pull out at a party with friends. Take turns reading each page. In fact (and you heard it first here), I suspect this would make a great party guessing game, so move over Trivial Pursuit!

Spot deviant boyfriend personality-types in an instant, June 27, 2007
This review is from: How to Tell if Your Boyfriend Is the Antichrist (Hardcover)
Patricia Carlin's small format Quirk Book aims to teach love-struck women how to instantly spot dangerous personality types including zombies, pimps, narcissists, assassins, bores, kleptomaniacs, and Scientologists. The book consists of nearly seventy-five single page profiles with a half dozen identifying characteristics for each personality, a paragraph on "Should You Break Up With Him?" and cross-references to related deviant boyfriend profiles.
Do you get lost in his large, soulful eyes? Could be an extraterrestrial. Does he cut up your In Style magazine to compose manifestos? A serial killer (and this is one case in which it is perfectly fine to break up over the phone). Does he do bedroom talk in Klingon? Eh, dating a Trekkie is fairly harmless. Offer to trade cigarettes for sex? He may be an ex-convict. Buy lime in bulk at the garden center? A hitman.
How to Tell if Your Boyfriend is the Antichrist is a joke book that mocks mainstream love guides and exploits silly stereotypes for a chuckle. It is complete with black and white illustrations and an index by trait for quick diagnosis of problem boyfriends.
