Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Comedian Castillo presents a hilarious sendup of the self-help quiz to aid women in assessing their guys through all the stages of a relationship: "in the beginning" ("the place where there's still hope"), "getting to know you" and "looking to the future." You add up all the scores to find where your man fits into the Hollywood rating scale—from "master and commander" to "walk the plank." (Jan. 3)

I had gotten this book for my girlfriend as a joke gift for her birthday. I flipped through it just to see how it was and it was actually pretty damn funny, so I kept reading. And I actually started picking up some great tips. Who knew? I know this book is supposed to be for the ladies, but as a guy, let me just say: this book is like finding the other team's play book! If you're a guy who wants to impress his girl, read this book! It's funny AND informative. And it'll give you a leg up when your gal starts quizzing you!

PS: my girlfriend loved the book, too. It's always in her purse now - she's even bookmarked a few pages she thinks could - ahem - help me. Lucky for me, I already read the book, too!
