Summary: I laughed, I cried....
Review: ...I recognized every man I'd ever dated. I'm sure there's some poor bastard somewhere (probably a Capricorn, they have no sense of humor) picking up this book in his local Borders and thinking to himself "Hey, that's not true!". Well, I'm here to tell you that it is - these ladies know their stuff. This is fun reading. Highly recommended.

Summary: So Painfully Honest and Helpful.
Review: I saw this book on the shelf, did a double take, picked it up...and realized I had to have it. The wit, the sarcasm, the truthful and perfect hilarity with which it is written makes it necessary to any female The 12 "Are you compatible with so-and-so 'bastard'" quizzes are wonderful and showed me that I am extraordinarily compatible with Scorpio, since I scored 34 points and anything over 30 points in any quiz is like, "Sorry, this horror is right for you, have a good time while you still can!" And apparantly a Scorpio male is the dark, brooding, destructive type. This book is pure genius. It tells us that "the strong silent type" is NOT what you want. Those qualities are desirable in a washing machine, not a man, it says. This book will make you laugh a million times per page. Guaranteed. For instance, the Piscean profile asks, "He's a loser. So why don't you kill him?" and then explains why: The public outcry that would inevitably result because he's such a bloody nice guy. Leo's hysterical profile is written in play form, so you can actually act out a scene about this sickeningly egotistical man. And Gemini apparantly has six men inside him, one of whom is named Zoltan, one of whom is utterly useless, and one of whom is good at selling things nobody wants...like a Gemini "bastard." Or ANY of the men in this book. Incidentally, every man has a birthday and therefore has a star sign and therefore is a "bastard" and therefore is NOT what you want (to love, that is...) So the moral of it all is never to marry, basically. Or date. I have only one other thing to say: There but for the grace of god go I in my new gucci dress.

Summary: Brutal, Yet Immensely Entertaining
Review: This book defies categorization. Astrology? Humor? Relationships? Vitriol? All of the above, which is what makes it so fun. Ladies, if you've just been dumped or if you have a sneaking suspicion that the one you're with is a bastard, then this is the book for you. This absolutely unapologetic volume of man hatred takes the done-to-death astrology motif and applies it to defining a man's most despicable traits with frightening accuracy. Forget Linda Goodman's Love Signs. It's the bad stuff that can hurt you, and Lang and Rajah have detailed all of it in brutal honesty and high hilarity.This is the kind of book I want to throw away as soon as I've exorcised the demons that accompany my broken heart (and hurt pride), but that would be a waste, because I'm bound to need it again, even if only for some good old male-bashing fun. It's a must have for gen Xers, nexters, boomers, and any woman who engages in the dating war. It's well researched, well written, and well, it's just flat out a lot of fun. Compatibility tests are included to find out which bastard suits you best. After all, we still can't live with them or without them, bastard status notwithstanding. Guaranteed to perk up the crestfallen and the downright despondent.

Summary: Hilarious!!
Review: This book is so entertaining. I am an astrology geek and so when I saw this book I had to have it. It is so funny. I started comparing the descriptions to the men in my life and surprisingly it is very accurate. Especially for the male Scorpio! Being a female Scorp, I found it funny to read about my male counter part. Its a great book if you want to look at the men in your life in a new and amazingly brighter light.

Summary: Are you kidding me or what?
Review: I was amazed. All I can say is that the authors must be a couple of mental furballs. Some is funny but the vitriol laying beneath the surface made it clear that this was just a gripe book about their obviously failed relationships. I doubt either author could stand their own scrutiny. Clearly they are destined to be manless throughout time as only men powered by the brain stem would have them. No higher functions are required.

Summary: Good for a chuckle, but not much else.
Review: This is a rather amusing book, but seems to be sparsely factual. Hey, don't get me wrong, it was
very funny, but there were a few things (I've been told) that I should point out. First off, the
authors don't seem to know much more then most lay people about astrology. They've obviously
no grasp on the system of cusps, rising signs, and the fact that not all sign characteristics are
general for each person (Beit male or female). Bottom line is, if you seek this type of advice, go
to a real astrologer. Anyway, acouple of other points, and I'll let you go. ... Being a general middle in the affairs of men and women,
I have to point out that were a male to write the same book, only about the opposite sex, it would
be bashed and possibly put on the dreaded "banned" list for being defamatory towards women.
Also, I would have figured that we (as a society) had progressed farther then this petty
classification of people, (again, beit male or female) and could see a person as they are, all
faults/flaws and negative personality traits included. A last word, before you rate your bastard on
his sign, would you care to think about your flaws and the negative personality traits that make
you whom you are first? I didn't think so...

Summary: Pure Gold!!!!!
Review: This book was so dead on it was eerie! I have dated many signs and each were tossed for a specific reason.. and EVERY one of those reasons were listed -- IN ORDER.. It was as if all women everywhere united and channeled this "masterpiece" through the very fingers of the person who wrote it.. Sisters Unite!! I am not saying hate all men.. just find the Bastard you are most compatible with and stick to him.. you don't want to have to re-weed through the astrological gene pool yet again do you?

Summary: Sounds familiar
Review: Hits it on the nose. While reading this book, you'll find yourself nodding and saying "Yea, I know that man" quite often. A fun man-bashing book, but it's a fast read, and I'd rather have borrowed it from the library or a friend than have paid for it, because after the fun and giggles it loses it's usefulness. Not a book I'll be turning to down the road, but every woman should read it.

Summary: Don't take yourselves so seriously
Review: This is obviously a comic take on astrology, which covers only the main characteristics of each sign. As an astrologer, I think this is a great, fun & entertaining introduction to the zodiac for people who might not otherwise go near astrology. I can see this sparking off interest in what is a very interesting field for those who were previously afraid of it. It's funny and it's true, but of course if you want a scholarly, indepth approach to astrology this is not the book for you. And as for those who think astrology isn't allowed to be funny or irreverent, or that a humorous book with astrology as the topic should be judged on the same criteria as a serious astrology book, please, get a sense of humour and don't take life so seriously.

Summary: Get REAL!!!
Review: I've studied astrology for twenty years and have never read such over-simplified bunk. Witty in spots, yes, but lacking any real depth or accuracy. Wit should assist the truth, not replace it!
