He Just Thinks He's Not That Into You: The Insanely Determined Girl's Guide to Getting the Man that She Wants [Paperback]

Danielle Whitman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 9, 2007

Are you not one to take “I don’t want to date you” for an answer? Do you consider the day the court ordered you to keep your distance merely the day your relationship entered a new phase? Then you’ve already figured out that despite what other books may try to tell you: He Just Thinks He’s Not That Into You. This book is built on one solid principle: men don’t know what they want, so it’s up to you, the strong, loving, forceful women of the world, to show them. Written as a series of letters to an insanely-determined advice columnist, this book is full of savagely funny answers, plus useful tips and success stories on stalking and holding onto the one you love-with handcuffs if necessary. Pie charts, bullet points, and wacky illustrations complete the satire. Has the bag boy at the supermarket been telling you to “have a nice day”? Danielle says “he means ‘with me’! Grab that in-store special and take him home. Soon the grocery aisle won’t be the only aisle you’ll be walking down!”

2.0 out of 5 stars Sarcasm doesn't equal humor, July 9, 2007

By 

Peachbulb (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: He Just Thinks He's Not That Into You: The Insanely Determined Girl's Guide to Getting the Man that She Wants (Paperback)

On the upside, the book is a very easy and quick read, and it cost less than $2 on Amazon when I bought it, so not much was at stake.

That said, I was very disappointed. The entire book is just sarcasm. While sarcasm can be effective, there has to be more substance in a humor book. Cindy Chupak's Between Boyfriends Book effectively combined insight, sarcasm, and personality to create a bittersweet collection that sometimes made me laugh, and sometimes made me indecisive about laughing and crying. Whitman fails miserably in that regard. Her "humor" is shallow, formulaic, and predictable. By the 30th page, I knew what was coming, and it was no longer funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT, January 23, 2007

What a great foil to the constant barrage of relationship books out there. Danielle's thick headed denial offers some of the funniest and most brilliantly wrong advice ever! I laughed all the way through. I especially loved the handy pie chart explaining the lipstick on his collar (I don't want to give it all away but giving CPR to a circus clown is at 53%)!

Ill only share one more bit of advice Danielle offers - when reaching out to a guy who's been avoiding you, "Alcohol does two things. It eliminates fear and brings your true feelings to the surface. So make sure to have a few drinks before picking up the phone. "

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book!, January 23, 2007

Sorry, Jesse, but you got it totally wrong. It's so obvious that this book is a PARODY. Did you really expect to get serious relationship advice from a book where the cover is of a man hog-tied and screaming with a woman standing on top of him? I actually laughed out loud reading it. What a refreshing change from all those recycled relationship books.
