This review is from: If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start with Your Legs: A Guide to Understanding Men (Paperback)

Like many others, I saw this book in the store and decided to see what a brotha had to say. I understand that Mr. Boom has turned his life around and wants to inform women about the pitfalls of relationships, but I thought that it was a little over the top. This book is just a national confession of all the tricks and the games that he has played with women. In certain areas of the book, it sounded like he was bragging. After the first few chapters, I thought it was a waste of time, but I continued to read to see if he really had something interesting to say. Unfortunately, that never happened. If you are looking for some good advice, start with ANOTHER BOOK! This is a waste of time and money!

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time and money, November 20, 2007

This review is from: If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start with Your Legs: A Guide to Understanding Men (Paperback)

Big Boom's "If you want closure in your relationship, Start with your legs" was exactly what I expected, a pointless commentary about what women should do to get a man. I knew that this book would not have any substance after reading the first few pages. The book is too choppy, his points are over the place. He contradicts himself throughout the book and is virtually saying the same thing over and over again.

Just because you are a "reformed pimp" doesn't make you an expert on relationships. Big Boom is fooling himself and readers if he thinks that his book is the resource that a woman needs to find a meaningful relationship, as he has claimed that he has.

Big Boom said everything he had to say in the title of the book. The rest of the book looks good on the outside, but is very empty on new revelation. Poor editing, repeating statements, rambling on from tangent to tangent. Take your $23.00 and carry a little old lady to Starbucks, and get the same information, plus, you will be doing a good deed.
