Wild...Again,
By A Customer
This review is from: I'm Wild Again (Mass Market Paperback)
Helen Gurley Brown basically has written the same book at least four times and only she could manage to make each new version totally captivating. This latest rewrite of "Sex and the Single Girl" covers a lot of the same ground as the original but 40 years later. It's still amazingly fresh, witty, original and brave. AND USEFUL. I'm a male mouseburger and Helen has provided many guideposts to life for me (we also turned out to have the same work habits, likes and dislikes, untiring ambition and enthusiasm for our work, love for good health). She's been there, done that, learned from it and she has always been totally generous with her wisdom. This book is a quick read, never a dull moment and mucho thought-provoking. You'll come back to it again and again. Bravo to HGB!

How to Write the Same Book 4 Times Without Really Trying!,
By Kathleen (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I'm Wild Again (Mass Market Paperback)
This book has some good tips on getting along in the work place.For me it was worth reading simply for the advice Helen Brown gives on how to get nails to grow. ie. 5,000 mcg of biotin each day and crisco. The biotin and crisco work; I now have nails after years of trying and failing to grow any. I would sum up HGB's philosphy in a nutshell: Get a man to marry you who will support you sexually and financially. Don't have any children; it might interfere with the good life. Get a good skin doctor and plastic surgeon in order to keep yourself buff. Embrace the go-go NYC lifestyle. Don't ever quit work. (Miss Brown is 78 and still shows up each day with her paper bag lunch) Helen has some good tips about exercise and vitamins.
5.0 out of 5 stars
