Rating:  Summary: Revenge can be fun Review: Has someone ever taken advantage of you? Has someone used you without so much as a backward glance? Are you tired of this treatment? Robert D. Adams presents a satirical look at extracting revenge on those who spitefully misuse you in HOW TO GET REVENGE AND LOVE IT. Although the book carries a warning that it is for adult entertainment only, the humorous look at getting revenge hits pretty close to home in many instances. The reader is presented with twenty-two chapters, some of which are comically named such as chapter ten, "How To Drive A Selfish Woman Crazy, And Make her Love Your Last Year's Dirty Drawers." Each chapter covers a different scenario in which revenge should be sought and the step-by-step instructions on how to go about doing it.
Although very funny and entertaining, Adams's message is clear: do not let people use you. There is no reason for you to accept it. Get yours and feel good doing it. His revenge schemes were often things we think about doing, but may fail to put into action. One such plot was his advice in "How To Break It Off When The Love Smells Stinky," which calls for failing to attend to domestic issues in order to get the object of the revenge to leave. I actually found myself laughing out loud at some of the schemes, while a few others took me down memory lane. As entertaining as I found the book, it could have benefited from some additional editing and I found that some of the language could be construed as offensive. Despite that, for an enlightening and humorous ride, pick up a copy of this book, but pay careful attention to the warning on the front cover. (3.5 Rating)

Rating:  Summary: So funny I almost passed out from laughing Review: This is by far the funniest book I have ever read. There's advice in here for everyone and you can find yourself somewhere in this book. While some of the grammar is not "correct", it serves it's purpose. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't read it.
Rating:  Summary: No need to read beyond the title Review: very short book... not even funny author rants about getting back at people who wrong you but without any substance or story.. he siply places the how to in the chapter line and then talks about how they will squirm from your revenge... This is a pointless book like a joke without a punch line don't waste your money and disregard the pre-canned reviews above.
Rating:  Summary: For bitter idiots Review: You people who wrote good reviews here for this book are too easily amused. A casual acquantaince I know bought this book thinking she'd get revenge on a guy that hurt her. I was really interested in her. But she's obsessed with this stupid book. I finally realized how bitter and idiotic she was when I picked up the book and read the moronic tripe in it. This author is an evil fool, playing on the hurt and vulnerable of the world, giving them a false sense of power, and worst yet keeping them down by prolonging whatever sense of injuring they have been dealt or think they have endured. The last draw came when she wanted to implement me in her scheme for revenge. I wish her well, but she's in this deep now and quite frankly not worth it. I still subscribe that the best revenge is living well! Why make the insult you might have had the center of your life by making revenge such a goal? Seriously, what the hell does that do? Usually stupid, indiffernt, hurtful people fall flat on their faces sooner or later. Where do you want to be when you see that? In a better place or finding out you've become them in character as well? Robert Adams has only contributed to the all too hight level of stupidity in this world. Go read some Vincent Peale for positive thinking instead. You'll be much more emotionally happier. I'm a firm believer in Karma. It definitely goes around and comes around eventually! Remember, sometimes unfortunately bad things happen to good people. Just don't become a bad person because of it! But bad revisits evil orders of magnitude higher. Evil only attracts itself. Peace be with you always!
