This book isn’t about catching men or reeling anybody in. Catching is for nine-year-olds playing freeze tag, and reeling is for trout. This is about you, considering the possibility that you’re tripping over your own feet—no matter how much of an amazing, smart, hot, totally worthwhile ass-kicker you may be as a general rule. Some food for thought:
• Don’t be the “men are pigs” woman. She’s boring. She’s unhappy. And the good men don’t want her.
• Don’t demand the right to set arbitrary rules, let alone change them every five minutes. Act like a crazy person and you’ll be treated like one.
• Realize when he doesn’t want to talk and give him that space. Men don’t usually feel the need to share as much. Respect that or watch him shut down even more.
. . . In other words: If you’re looking for a different approach, this book has one.

Summary: Enjoyable read with some useful advice
Comment: I picked up a copy of this book because I am a fan of Evan Marc Katz's articles and blog. Much of the advice written here is common sense for down-to-earth women, however, I see many women who would do well to heed the words of wisdom within the book. It's also engagingly written, and a quick read. But even for those down-to-earth folks, there are some gems in here that really help me in my own thinking.
I found the best chapters to be:
Guys Don't Go Both Ways
Deal Breakers (particularly Linda's piece)
Hitting on 20
There's good advice in here, and it's not all new agey, which tends to cause me to stay away from dating and self-help books. Groundbreaking? Not exactly. Enjoyable? Yes.

Summary: Hilarious
Comment: Having read several books on dating, I highly recommend this one maybe even if you aren't single. Hugely insightful and covers all the bases in dating. You just might see yourself on one of the pages (uh oh) but the authors, although straight forward and real, use lots of humor to make their messages clear and easy to take. Most valuable of all is that you get to see every issue from both the male and female perspective at the same time. I think even people in relationships would get a lot out of this book. The best on the subject I've read.

Summary: Nothing New
Comment: Nothing new and not even funny (which seems to be the main intent). Much too focused on generalizing about women's flaws and how these supposedly limit chances for relationships.
This book won't change your life--or even provide a good laugh. (The irony that neither author is him/her-self successful in maintaining a long-term relationship seems lost on both of these "advice-givers"). Not recommended.

Summary: Great Book - Title Could Be Better
Comment: I really enjoyed this book, and the only thing that is disappointing is the title because the book speaks to all of us whether we are single or not. The title could be "Why You're Still Unhappy" or "Why You're Still Unhappy Even Though You Are In A Relationship". The points in this book are basic ways to relate better to our fellow human beings and ourselves. It takes a lot of people a long time to learn the lesson that "it is all about me and not about them". Some people never learn it and are still looking for a partner to fill the voids in their lives.

Summary: Witty and wise!
Comment: I picked up this book and couldn't put it down. EMK is a smart and funny writer who never pretends to know more than his readers, even though he does. Love it!
