Summary: Can't beleive all the 5 stars ratings
Review: This book can be a light read to occupy an hour on the plane. I kind of expected some miraculuous book after reading reviews like: "Wow it changed my life" or "I wish I knew this stuff 10 years ago".
In my opinion, most of the stuff explained is pretty obvious. A lot of the stuff is absurd. There are some good tips but they're few.
For example, some topics or advice:
"How do determine the gender of your date?" Doh!!
"How to escape from a bad date" comes down to do a major dress and makeup overhaul in the washroom or break the washroom window and run away. And has picture of a man doing that. Come on! What kind of woman can scare the hell out of a guy that he wants to break a window in a washroom and run?
"How to survive credit card decline" advises you and your date to wash dishes in the restaurant to pay for your meal or teaches how to run away quick
"How to make love in an elevator" comes down to two things:
1. Stop the elevator 2. Make love really fast.... Very insightful
How to fake orgasm and how to stop the wedding are fascinating reads. What to do if you wake up in a bed with a person whose name you don't remember gives a positive and refreshing attitude and a bunch of suggestions where to look for a name tag :)
There is some potentially useful stuff how to fight your body odour, bad breath, etc. But if you know you have this problem it's easy to find the right solution against your particular problem on the net.
Overall, there is not much worth keeping in memory besides your common sense. Unless you're a virgin who does not know how to remove woman's bra or an idiot who does not know that if you cheat you should take every possible precaution.

Summary: Makes a a good gift book
Review: This book is funny, marginally informative and about as lightweight as air puffed popcorn. It is unlikely to be a repeat read for anyone and as such makes a good gift for the right person. The advice is suitably illustrated in a comic fashion and is best enjoyed read in the company of friends.

Summary: Things Can Always Get Worse
Review: This book teeters between gut-splitting entertainment and must-have knowledge. Some of the chapters are too far-fetched to be realistic, but they are hysterical to read nonetheless. Once I picked up the book, I couldn't put it down. I was amazed to learn some things-like how to deal with body odor on a date, how to avoid gas, and how to deal with bad breath. Other chapters were more fun than reruns of Seinfeld. For example, How to Fake an Orgasm, How to Determine if Your Date is an Axe Murderer, and How to Stop a Wedding are all reminiscent of recent cult comedies that are now available from your local video store.The fun continues in the index, as the authors teach you how to write a "Dear John" letter, (all you have to do is insert your name and the name of the person you're dumping!) and the worst pick-up lines that you should NEVER use. But tucked into the index is something very useful-a chart of good and bad body language signals. As a relationship expert, body language is extremely important if you want to deal from a position of strength. If you learn to read body language correctly, you can avoid wasting your time on someone who just isn't interested, or you can change your tactics so your date will be more responsive to you. Reading body language will also weed out the sickos, weirdos, liars,..., and married folks that we all want to avoid. Bottom Line-this is a great book to read when you want to recover from a bad date. After all, things can always get worse, and laughter is the best medicine.

Summary: NO JOKE! Serious advice on funny situations!
Review: This is my favorite "Worst-Case" book and probably the most practical. I think it will make a great gift for the holidays. It makes for interesting reading and is a conversational piece. If you wanted to, I'm sure that you could read the whole book in a couple of hours. Some of the advice is very practical, helpful and important for serious dating like: How to Determine If Your Date is Married, How to Deal with Bad Breath, How to Deal with a Drunken Date, How to Survive If You Are Stopped by the Police, and How to Survive Snoring. Others are mostly amusing (especially the diagrams!) like: How to Determine the Gender of Your Date, How to Escape From a Bad Date, How to Spot a Fake (Boob job and hair pieces), How to Fend Off Competition For Your Date, and How to Remove Difficult Clothing...and of course the faking of the Big "O". Some things that are in the book may not be such a good idea in the first place like How to Have an Affair and Not Get Caught. Maybe you can avoid the whole problem by not having an affair, right? And the bit about How to Determine if Your Date is a Con-Artist...the entire thing about the eye patterns is such a bunch of neuro-baloney. Trust your intuition and if he seems kind of weird then he probably is. All in all this is a fun read, a great gift, a practical guide to a few situations that may apply to you or one of your friends, and if you live on the dating "edge", this probably can save your behind....at least temporarily until you wise up. Like a professional baseball player, this book helps an enlightened woman anticipate rare situations so that she can respond with action instead of react in panic. And for this, we can be thankful that this book exists. In today's pop culture society, I'm sure this is destined to be a National Best-Seller.

Find out how to properly remove the book with out hurting him. :) I definitely give this book two thumbs up.

Summary: I was on the floor in tears....
Review: when I started flipping through the book. My mother bought this book for me to read and when I saw it, I wasn't too crazy about it. I thought she was trying to make a point of me reading about dating boys and what to do if one of them wanted to have sex...was I wrong! This book or manual as it proves to be is hilarious and full of great ideas. There are so many different things in there like how to pass gas in private to having sex in small areas. I would recommend this book to teens 15 and over and to parents because its just plain funny. My mother and I were laughing so hard as I read a section on how to stop a wedding!! This book does have its negative points too, that being how to have sex in small areas but then the title of the book would just be The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Dating...how fun is that?? I plan to bring this book with me on trips, to school, everywhere I go because I just can't get enough of this book.

Summary: Enjoyable but lacking
Review: While this book is a great resource and contains many, many, useful hints, it doesn't quite live up to its potential. My friends and I all agree the "worst-case scenario" would be having someone on a date and running into someone else you are dating, when neither person has been introduced previously. This book not only skirts this scenario, it ignores it with full force. All the other hints are helpful, and the discussions of pickup lines to avoid, body language and escapes are all worthy reading, but the book falls just short of 5 thumbs up.
