Summary: Words as Best Weapon
Review: Them's fighting words, Anita Liberty. And sometimes entertaining, too. Kept my attention and I'm a guy. But alas, in the end, just another slip of a book with not enough quality to earn all these glowing reviews. Sorry. This one don't fly.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: wake up people! It's only comedy
Review: These reviews are either wonderful or awful. The purpose of this book is to take *dumped* feelings to the extreme-hence, the humor. Why is that so hard for some people to take? The inclusion of the word "feminist" in one of the criticisms shows the complete lack of understanding, particularly on the part of (some) people. There are many women out there that are jerks too, do you think that Anita is unaware of that? Do you fault your friends or YOURSELF when they get involved with people who later turn out to be jerks? I think not. But by telling women "just quit becoming involved with bad men" or "every woman I know who has read this book and enjoyed it has only bad relationships" you are totally blaming the person who was most injured by the situation. I think that most people would prefer to be involved in happy, healthy relationships, and most are shocked when this turns out not to be so. I said MOST. Anger is a normal part of the grieving process. This book is a helpful tool for women (or men!) to get their butts in gear and feel better after suffering a massive hit to their egos. What's so horrible about that? Why is justified anger in the face of bad treatment so difficult for you to take?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh my GOD!
Review: This book had to be the funniest book I have ever read in my entire life! I haven't just been dumped nor am I bitter over a failed relationship and I STILL think this is funny! What a crazy book - this woman says what we are all secretly thinking and telling ourselves. If you read this book you will laugh...

Summary: Don't take it so seriously...
Review: This book is fun mental junk-food while you're trying to heal from a rotten relationship -- funny, hostile, everything you probably *are* while you're getting over the hurt. It won't cure the common cold or raise your IQ, but it could make you feel better as you find your feet again...

All of us have had crummy relationships; all of us probably want to hire our ex- to clean our houses with toothbrushes. "Ms. Liberty" wrote the book about it. I know there are several "Mitchells" out there who should be blushing every time someone reads this!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A recommended read
Review: This book is hysterical. I don't know if the events documented are real. If they are, the author is crazy, insecure and completely self absorbed. If not, it is the work of a talented comedienne. However, after reading the book, I have no issues with Mitchell. There was nothing in the book that reflected poorly on him. Anita Liberty needs some serious therapy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A guy falls for Liberty's lines...
Review: This book is indescribable. Or maybe I could compare it to being slapped around by some no-neck guys from Flatbush as Lenny Bruce blasts classic comedy routines into your brain and nasty little munchkins swarm over your body and tickle you with feather dusters while you scream and scream and scream with agonized laughter. No, that's not it; this book is just indescribable. But really indescribly great. Especially "Letter from Bert" and "A Very Cute Piglet." Ms. Liberty is a very funny poet; bitter, but with a smart take on life that takes some of the sting out of her slashing verses. Even a guy like me can appreciate them. I may be in love. Buy this book. Trust me, you won't be sorry.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Totally Cute!
Review: This book is really cute, and if you've broken up with somebody, you can totally relate to it! Its not a novel or an advice book... it is a mix of poems, diary entries, statements and advice. It is so funny! I enjoyed it and passed it on to all my friends, they thought it was hilarious too!! I was laughing out loud.

Summary: How can you go wrong?
Review: This is one of the most hilariously funny and at the same time thought provoking books I have ever read. Performance artist Anita Liberty poors her soul and her anger on every page, which makes the biography a little shocking. (I myself was a little disappointed.) I think every female should have a copy of this book as an outlet and a source of healing. Laughing at other people's experiences lightens the load of your own, especially when shared as Anita has. To everyone who has given this book a bad review or dubbed Liberty a "feminist," Get a life. It's just a joke. You're probably the same kind of person who won't pee in the shower :) Take it for what it's worth and enjoy it. I sure as hell did.
