1.0 out of 5 stars no substance, November 18, 2006

Good Girl (Missouri) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Think Like a Guy: How to Get a Guy by Thinking Like One (Paperback)

I wish I could give this book less than one star. First the title: Think like a guy, it doesn't tell you at all how to think like a guy or what guys think. This book only gives you a list of tips on how to be fake with a man. The title should be "Lie, Pretend, and Be Confusing" She actually tells you to change who you are and to play games. Like one tip is to always call *67 so he doesn't know it's you. And one tip is to order out and dirty up dishes so that he thinks you cooked (which isn't fair to those of us who really know how to cook- what girl can complete with take out?) So now what happens in the long term when he finds out that you lied and the betty crocker that he fell in love with is a phony?

Second, it has no substance. The chapters are about a page long (some only a few words long) which states the tip and then a few paragraphs about the tip that says nothing more than what the tip said. The book basically could have been a list of 66 tips- nothing more nothing less. This book is a 20 minute waste. There are far better books.

1.0 out of 5 stars As Awful as She Is, November 3, 2006

By 

Butterscotch (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Think Like a Guy: How to Get a Guy by Thinking Like One (Paperback)

What a terrible waste of time and money. This relatively short book is separated into `chapters' telling women how to be more like men - for example: sleep with a guy and leave right after, don't call, lie about your sexual experience, pretend to be busier than you are, order in and pretend you made the food, etc. The `chapters' were each about a page, some even less, because there is clearly no substance behind the writing. Depandi is annoying on tv, and she's even more annoying in the book - from the outset she tells you to look elsewhere if you want a more `edcuated' read. She uses trailer-trash language throughout the pages and doesn't show herself to be either smart or a very good writer. Additionally, she paints herself as a promiscuous woman by constantly making references to her many boyfriends and experiences. Where did the content for the book come from? From her many experiences with men,, so she says. It's obvious why she went through so many men - no decent guy would put up with her and the games she's playing for very long. Her `methods' are ridiculous and will make you a liar from the outset of the relationship. Zero stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars New title "How to get a guy by lying about yourself", April 23, 2007

By 

Rebecca "ugatrainer" (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Think Like a Guy: How to Get a Guy by Thinking Like One (Paperback)

This was an easy read, short, and at times funny. Sure it might be good if you are just looking to find a date or a friend with benefits...but if you actually are looking for something quality...dont get this book. All it does it tell you how to lie about yourself or how to act like a guy in ways that us girls hate. I mean if you want to snag a guy by lying to him...marry him and then he finds out it was all a lie...then what? Divorce? I mean...honesty is the best policy and honestly...this book is not worth it.
