This book made me laugh when I wanted to cry and kept my perspective on the crazy world of relationships. Anna and Elliot are a riot and if you're looking for a book that offers great insights about the sexes in a sharp, humorous fashion--GET THIS BOOK! I highly recommend it! (It makes a fabulous affordable gift too!)

The title may cause you to pass this one by. Don't! It's fun to read and offers enough insight to personal foibles to bring outrage to the serious and embarrassed laughter to others. An easy read and a fun gift for others!

I almost didn't buy this book because of the title. I'm not too fond of parodies. I actually own the other "serious" version of this book & found it much harder to read than this humorous but no less true version. I'd love to see these SuC in person :)

This book helped me keep my kewl during the end of a nasty relationship, helped me laugh when I was tired of crying, and helped me see my part in a humorous, easy-to-swallow format. My relationship is still ending, but now I feel much better about it, having regianed my ability to laugh at humanity thanks to this book. I highly recommend it as a gift to newlyweds, singles & long-marrieds alike--in essence, to anyone who has ever been in a relationship with the opposite sex!

This book is hysterical. The humorous advice sometimes is better than the real thing. I have given it as a gift to many people and they really enjoyed it. The pictures are funny and add to the book. A must to lightening up any relationship. I also enjoy Anna Collins work in The Estrogen Files.Net.

I enjoyed its satire and wit. Not since Madam Wong's Guide To Men and Other Difficulites, have I gotten such a laugh.

Just didn't find it all that funny.
At the very least, the first chapter was balanced in terms of equal parts cloyingly sacchrine cuteness and actual humor.
The rest of the book attempts to be funny by heavy-handed dependence on the broadest and most outdated of gender generalizations. I felt lucky(and toward the end, amazed) if I came across one line per remaining chapter capable of even making me smile and there were definitely not any laugh out loud moments within the entire book. But the multiple positive reviews printed on the covers did make me laugh at least, since they were so far off the mark.
I have a friend who thrives on defining his world strictly by generalizations and so I will be passing it on to him for the final litmus test. He's also going thru a divorce and lives in the suburbs, so perhaps he is closer to the actual target audience.
More than anything, I found the book to be kind of sad because it reminded me that this is really how alot of people think. And just to provide more insight on me, I'm a 35 year old female who recently got out of a relationship with sticky communication issues.
I found the majority of the book to be obnoxious, overdone and obvious as opposed to subtle and clever. Who knows? Perhaps I'm just not mainstream enough to "get" this kind of humor.
