The Hookup Handbook: A Single Girl's Guide to Living It Up

The first thing I'll say about his book is that I had to give it two stars instead of one due to the authors' apparent lack of hostility towards men. In an age of misandry, guys like me have to be pleased with whatever alms we are given. At any rate, certainly this is one of the shallower books a girl can buy because the lifestyle it describes is every bit as pathetic as it is directionless. The fact is that there is little advice proffered so it isn't a handbook at all. Mostly, it would have to described as a rattle bag of little jokes, quizzes, references, silly antics and who knows what else. It certainly is hard to qualify, but the one thing for certain is that the viewpoint it espouses is completely devoid of intellectual and emotional depth. It's main purpose seems to be an attempt to sooth vain, materialistic, and impulsive women due to the problems which arise from their poor decision making. The biggest problem with their presentation is the authors' attempts to be cute. All the humor is cutesy and obvious. Yawn, oh well, at least I bought the book for the sake of research. I hope you guard your money better than I do.

I bought this book because I have been researching and writing a paper about the "hooking up" phenomenon. Fortunately, I bought this book for a discounted price of less than $3. That, however, was $3 too much. This book is very poorly written and organized, and it offered no real insight into the "hook up" culture. Although I ended up reading the whole book, it was not pleasant. There are many other books about this that are more enlightening.

I really enjoyed reading this book, I read it in less than a week, is very entertaining and easy to read. I am sure that when you finish reading it your perspective about hookups will change, your love for yourself will increase. It's a GREAT fun book.
