Summary: Sex and the City fans must buy this!
Review: If you love the witty banter that Carrie and her friends engage in on Sex and the City as they analyze men, you will love this book! It is a hilarious guide to navigating the male species through their astrological characteristics. This book will keep you laughing out loud as it blows out the annoying traits associated with each zodiac sign, and you will be amazed at how much of it actually rings true! It will even help you pick out the perfect (or not so perfect) match for you with fun compatibility quizzes. A perfect gift for anyone who has ever dated less-than-wonderful men.

Summary: Absolute Genius
Review: There's only one word for this book and that is 'genius'. As soon as I picked it up and flicked through I felt compelled to read it cover to cover - that very night! Everyone, even the non-believers among us, has a sneaky peek at our own star-sign or that of the man /woman we have in our sights (well, I know I do!) every now and again and this book just goes one hilarious stage further advising us who, astrologically, we might want to watch out for and why. And it does it in an effervescent, hilarious, dry and witty way. How To...takes a fur covered pussy cat paw swipe at the male gender and their shortcomings and it does it to absolute perfection with sparkling wit and subtle sarcasm. These girls actually know their astro stuff too and could no doubt spot a bastard (and his star sign) for fifty miles. I had such a laugh reading this with my girlfriends, (the general opinion being "If only we'd had this book 10 years ago!") and even my husband, whose Taurean discription in the book was so scarilly accurate he thought I was making it up! How To Spot A Bastard By His Star Sign is a harmless, hilarious, superbly-written and entertaining guide that, once you've stopped laughing along with it, could make you stop to realise that it actually has a real point. No girl should be without it!

Summary: So Good
Review: This is the ultimate "Get Over Him" book, a wonderful companion to the other things women do to get over a guy. It's raucously funny, scathing, and even comes with little compatibility quizzes...to see which Bastard you should be with. I've seen some reviews taking this book too literally though...this book wasn't meant to be informative to people who like & believe in astrology. It was also not meant to be fair. It was meant to entertain readers with really exaggerated star sign characteristics. And it succeeds mightily.

Summary: more parody than fact, but a joy to read
Review: This review is more in response to some of the reviews written about this book than the book itself, though I will get to that. To anyone who criticized the book's astrological credibility you completely missed the point. It's not meant to be completely accurate or to explore the complex sides of the displine. It's just meant to be fun! If you're offended by the male-bashing humor, fine, but if your beef is with the stereotyping you need to lighten up! I don't think the authors took it seriously so neither should you.As for the book, it was the best $ I've spent in a while! As an astrology student of 10 years I was quite amused by how witty their descriptions of the dark sides of each zodiac archetype. They're fresh, they're quick and they're funny even if their understanding of astrology may not go beyond the supermarket variety. This book is a highly recommended read if you're in need of a laugh or are nursing a broken heart. You won't want to throw this away. Of course, if you're looking for a book that can give you sound astrological advice about romance and relationships look elsewhere. Astrology is a LOT more than sun sign stereotyping as the sign sign is only 1 aspect of a personality. Pick up a book that's more wellrounded and then just buy this one for fun.

Summary: Astrologically illiterate.
Review: I'm an Aries male who reads even though, according to the authors of this book, the Aries male is very unlikely to read anything beyond Dr. Seuss. This claim, like almost all the claims about the Aries male, would seem to fly in the face of even the most astrologically subliterate layperson. (...) As to the claim that the Aries male is averse to "women's lib," as the authors so old-fashionedly call it, one need only consider that the Aries male admires independent people to see through the astrological illiteracy of this phrase. (...) Anyway, my point isn't to defend the Aries male. The Aries male, after all, can defend himself. My point is that, after reading my own sign and comparing not just to what I know about myself but to everything I've ever read about my sign (including, especially, Linda Goodman's insightful astrology), it became quicly obvious that these writers don't know the first thing about astrology (or, I would guess, about feminism either).

Summary: I like it but do you really ...
Review: It's a good book, i like it. It shows you the traits associated with astrological signs (or humans) in a negative but hillarious way. You can have good laughs by reading the book, but definitely it's gonna have a negative effect on you too. You might not feel good, cause the book is accurate but all it tells is bad. In the end you might be thinking, wouldn't it be better if you didn't knew it all. My suggestion, avoid if you can. It helps you realize negative side of people and maybe the negative aspects you are not conciously aware of. In the end, once again, great book but for positive thinkers, "Astrologically incorrect" would be a greater one.

Summary: No semblance of anything useful
Review: I didn't think I'd take this book seriously when I ordered it...but I did think there would be a solid and definable basis to the "information" inside. The book is funny, but not laugh out loud. I have a reasonably decent knowledge of the zodiac, and thought I'd might get this book and have a laugh at the terrible characteristics of each sun sign in a male. But I really can't do that. I read it in 2 hours. I learned nothing. I can't really see that anything is based on more than one thought of real astrology. It's so "funny" that it is completely useless! The authors' point is to poke fun at each sign, which they really have done. But to the point that each description of the sign is ludicrous, redundant, and way over-simplified. The quizzes in the back to see if you are compatible with a sign are even more of a joke. So if you are looking for this book as nothing more than a laugh or two, go right ahead. But if you are looking for a book where you might glean a little useful information while still laughing, this one is not the one. Still, I'm not completely trashing this book. I thought most of it was clever and funny.

Summary: The only Zodiac guide you'll need!!
Review: This one is so on the money, it's scary!! I read it to my fiancee, and he actually thought it was a book COMPLIMENTING his zodiac sign! And it's funny! Too funny, in some cases! Good for when you first meet a guy. Even better to read at the END of the relationship. Better cure for a broken heart than Ben & Jerry's!! You'll LOVE it!! Enjoy!!

Summary: Kinda spooky!
Review: I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 because at first I was depressed reading it. If you want to know only the negative side of this men, then it may be a good read for you. I on the other hand was mad at my significant other when I read this book.. not good! I found myself even more furious. I stopped looking at all of his many good points that outweighed his bad ones. When I took a step back and looked at the situation again I realized how silly I was being. I still have the book but I only read it for laughs.. and when I'm not angry at my significant other.
