Summary: Ugh
Review: Anyone with 5 spare minutes could have written the text for this book - I found it very cliche - I'll admit some of the photos are decent - but really why would you pay money for this? So-so" photos don't make a good book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HILARIOUS!
Review: Bradley's BLUE DAY BOOK is the greatest (if you don't have it yet, buy one for yourself and 10 for your friends). LOOKING FOR MR.RIGHT has the same pick-yourself-up-off-the-floor,-life-is-good message mixed with humor (ok, and a teensy-weensy bit of male bashing). And in case you're looking for Mr. Right...rumor is the attractive Australian author will be touring in the States in September. Hmm!

Summary: Light and Caring Look at Finding Huggable Hubbies!
Review: Caution: The photographs in this book are occasionally on the gross side (such as an image of a shoe about to step into a pile of "you know what"). These are intended to be humorous rather than offensive, but be aware that they are present before sending the book as a gift to a very "proper" person.

Most people would think that a book advising women about selecting mates would be appealing only to women. That assumption is false in this case. Looking for Mr. Right is good humor for women and men, and it is also a great dose of humility for men to see themselves and women often see them.

Looking for Mr. Right would be a delightful book if it only had the photographs, without any captions. Combined with the captions, I found myself laughing almost nonstop as I read the book. Let me give you a few examples to help you get the idea.

In one photograph, a man is playing a clarinet standing in water up to his mouth, holding his hands and chin up. The caption says, "Men are ridiculously pig-headed and stubborn."

In another image, a man is totally chained in a small container looking hunted. The caption notes, "They are completely unable to express their feelings."

In another photo, a man is having the width of his mustache measured (it's 16 inches long). The book comments, "Men are obsessed with size and appearance."

A grainy picture reveals a man leaping from the top of a tall bridge. This represents the way that men "will go to great lengths to avoid commitment."

There's a contortionist view of a woman literally bent over backward holding a flash light to peer under a car. "You'll do everything you possibly can to maintain the relationship momentum," notes another page.

Almost every image and caption is of this high caliber.

On the serious side, the book's theme is to portray that playing the dating game in the traditional way may help women find a man, but not the right one. The author goes on to suggest that women are pretty terrific in many ways, and should enjoy being themselves without overly compromising themselves to reach marriage to a man who isn't worthy. Although almost every woman's parents has provided just this sort of advice, coming in this hilarious form makes the advice seem more sincere and compelling. I also suspect that a woman who reads this book and finds herself in one of these situations will be able to get a good laugh out of seeing herself more objectively, and may perhaps avoid making a mistake.

Be yourself . . . but be realistic about members of the opposite sex!

Where else can illusions cause you to think you see good things, where the thorns actually exceed the petals?

Summary: A must read for all single girls
Review: I happened to see "Looking For Mr Right" while I was waiting for a friend to finish making her purchase at the local bookstore. I got so into it that she had to wait for me to finish reading it. I laughed my myself silly at the hillarious photos and the tougue in cheek humor. My friend was so intrigued that I had to wait for her to read it as well. I plan to order several copies to give as gifts to all my single girl friends. I know they'll love it just as much as I did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Hilarious!
Review: I just laughed like crazy at the pictures in this book. They are absolutely hilarious and go right along with the captions. The author certainly picked the right photos. He also dishes out sensible advice on finding the right man, but in our desperation to find one, we often forget this. What he says certainly does make sense.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Laugh out loud!
Review: I received this book for Christmas and finally got around to reading it. As someone with a nice track record or Mr. Wrong's and Mr. Right Now's, this book brought them all back. Making me howl out loud! Not only do some of the men seem all too familiar, but some of the women portrayed. If you have questioned past relationships and where your life is going, pick this up..you'll relate. And know..you are not alone!!
