If you have ever thought about raising an army of the dead and have a good sense of humor, this book is for you. This is a lighthearted look at how to live better as a villain.

Its not particularly realistic, but it isn't meant to be either. This book caters to those dark days that everyone has when you feel mean, everybody is pissed at you and nothing seems to go right. The thought is, if everyone thinks you're evil anyways, put your evil to good use and really become a better villain!

I bought a copy for my boss, who prides herself on how she's perfected a maniacal laugh while rubbing her hands together greedily. She laughed her head off. We especially love the section in "Work" on how to make your un-conventional villian skill set fit normal resumés. For example, "Assassinated the King" can become "skilled at driving changes in leadership".

Very funny stuff.

This book was hilarious. I found it at a Barnes and Noble, it's basically a self-help guide for villains who've become depressed with their lives. It tells how to decorate your lair, make new friends and throw evil parties. Very funny stuff. The illustrations were also great, I just wish there could have been more material. The section on evil dating is probably my favorite.

The Villan's Guide to Better Living is a book for all you up and coming evil-doers. This book shows you how to do things like protect your lair and how to motivate your minions. It also covers the finer things in life like dating and how to make evil friends.
My favorite part in this book is when they went over how to protect and care for your evil abode. They went over the old-fashioned style moat and spiked fence. They also covered more in-depth approaches like casting a spell over your house to make it invisible. They also showed you easy ways to care for a lair like how to fix up a dungeons and take care of a carnivorous garden.
I would definitly recommend this book to any up and coming villan. This book has helped me in my own evil doing and it will help in yours. When I read this book it made me realize how much better my life could be. It showed me that there is a whole other side to life. Any up and coming evil villan should read this book.

This book is for anybody who rooted for Ming The Merciless or Cobra Commander when they were a kid.
And why is it disturbing? Reading it, I find that many of the suggestions on how a Villain could improve his life would work for ME, too....

I'd also recommend these--

Humor & villainy make a great combination.

Gave this book to my husband for Christmas. Took a long time to get here, but he seems to have really enjoyed it.

Okay, yes, so this is a criminally quick read, whatever. I can honestly say it reaffirmed standing opinions and offered some great advice.

Many helpful tips to spruce up your lair and your (evil) life itself.

I thought this book was super cute. I got a couple like it for my husband as a fun Christmas gift and he thought they were totally weird but very cool. I have fun reading them to my husband as well as my 5 year old boy. Great fun and would be a wonderful gift for someone with a good funny bone. :)

So I bought the book because of the catchy title. Opened the book to a page and read before purchasing. It was funny. So i decided to buy. Got home read the book in about 30 minutes and the only funny page was the one I read in the book store. Stay away from this title.

I mean I think we can all figure out how to decorate our house like a wantabe vampire
