5.0 out of 5 stars Great title!!, November 7, 2006

By	Katarina Rocks "KR" - See all my reviews

I bought this on the strength of its title, and also because it looks so damn sexy with its shiny gold and black cover. Maybe it's just me? Anyway it's not really about losing weight or getting laid or finding god, but about planning your life year by year. Examples: age 7: ask adults stupid questions, age 25 have a quarter life crisis, age 79 talk about the war, age 17: lose your virginity, age 56: have plastic surgery. Etc, you get the picture. It's all a joke but actually the author(s) is making a point about life and ridiculing other self-help literature. Read it, laugh out loud, then think. Great gift for some one with a sense of humor...

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh Out Loud Funny, November 19, 2006

By	Gold Shopper - See all my reviews

This is the type of book you should read out loud with a group of friends that have a sense of humor. The funniest thing I've read in years.

This review is from: Lose Weight! Get Laid! Find God!: The All-in-One Life Planner (Paperback)

I got this because I thought it would be funny--on the contrary, it is rather boring and not nearly as witty as I had imagined. The title indicates a tongue-in-cheek style of writing that was completely missing. I was disappointed.
