Summary: Lovely, and Funny.... If you get it
Review: You either get Cameron Tuttle's books and her brand of humor or you don't, Personally I love her books. The Bad Girl's Guide To Getting What You Want, is my favorite of hers. There's good solid advice, but theres also tons of fun and badness without making you want to puke in the book. This book isn't supposed to be a survival guide, it's supposed to help you realize what you want and then show you that you've got all that you need right in your bad girl self.The book does this by covering major aspects of life clarifying them with humor and showing you different ways to get through [bad] stuff- Like job interviews. Overall I think this book is great for anyone who goes at a life with a sense of humor but not really for those who are looking for a new spiritual outlook or some sort revelation on what it is to be a woman.

Summary: On being the anti-Barbie
Review: Whimsical, engaging, flirtatious, this book is less a how-to guide for achieving what you want than a manifesto on treating yourself right. Sure, this book boasts a lot of tips and tricks (many of them hilarious), and some smart advice about jobs and career (e.g. treating your job interview like a TV talk-show appearance). But underlying the specific ideas for "scoring love, fame, money, power, parking spaces and other essentials" is an important message about prioritizing your own happiness. Aim high, dream big, ask for what you want, be happy with yourself before you get into a relationship (of any sort) - these are the real lessons this book has to offer. As an aside, some women may find troubling Cameron Tuttle's implication that being a bad girl means having a certain approach to sex, e.g. her "Are you a bad girl" quiz: "The last time I got naked with a stranger I was [at 35,000 feet];" "How do you spell relief during a stressfull work day? [o-r-g-a-s-m-s];" "My favorite form of multi-tasking is [faking not having an orgasm in spinning class]." This characterization contradicts the otherwise-clear, empowering theme of the book: that there are an infinite number of ways of being a high-attitude, sassy, and fearless Bad Girl.

Summary: Laugh Out Loud Funny
Review: Belleluv had it right. Hilarious if you get and enjoy Cameron Tuttle's sense of humor. This book never fails to make me laugh.
Just the chapter on being bad at work alone is worth its price.
Just thinking of doing some of these things to my boss makes the stress melt away.
Every girl whether she acts on it or not. Can be a "bad girl" at heart and celebrate the power of being Baaaaad!

Summary: I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats!
Review: I really do laugh out loud every time I open this book. It is packed with hilarious stuff. Crazy, witty, wild bad girl advice about managing your life, your career, your relationships--all with bad girl style. The kind of stuff that makes you pick up your phone and call your sister in Boston to read her an excerpt just to hear her laugh. It's a fun read cover to cover, and also great to leave lying around the house for those moments when you need a laugh. Since reading her books, I've given Cameron Tuttle's bad girl's guides (both this and the Bad Girl's Guide to the Open Road) as gifts to my mom (she loves it), my sister (ditto), and all of my bad girl friends. Do yourself a favor and buy this book!

Summary: Over-the-Top Humor, great emotional lift
Review: Okay, so some of the suggestions are a little crazy and would never work in the real world. Then again, no one reads Spiderman comic and decides to try to spin spider webs. THis is one of those books that, if you are having a bad day, you can read, get a laugh and feel moderately better. Some of it is actually helpful, should you decide to do it, and some is just plain silly. You'll actually have to use the ol' grey matter to decide which is which. (Don't worry, it won't be that hard.) Read if you: get into Saturday Night Live humor, like woman-power laughs, have ever had one of "those days" and need a good laugh
Don't read if you: don't get into the ultra-feminism attitude (that's okay, you don't have to), don't enjoy Seinfeld or SNL, etc., want a serious help book (this really isn't serious)

Summary: OK I giggled....
Review: TWICE in the whole book. It is a cute book but not really funny nor usefull in anyway...unless your 18 then you might get away with some of the stunts in here. I think I found 3 fairly good tips other than that I was done with the book in under an hour and can't wait to get rid of it.

Summary: Quite Enjoyable
Review: I bought this book after seeing a review in a magazine and I didn't put it down until I'd finished it. The author offers a fresh perspective and crazy tips on how to be the best and badest girl. I cried from laughter and then went out and bought 3 copies to give to my best female friends. Another book that I found intense was "He Never Called Again". Now after reading the other book, I could really enjoy "The Bad Girl's Guide". Yes!

Summary: Fuuuunn and perfect for when you're in a bad mood!
Review: This book was incredibly spontaneous. It makes you laugh like crazy and you can actually take most of the advice given. No, the advice isn't spiritual or what it takes to be a woman.. it's just a lot of fun and it helps you bring the goodness and childhood out of you. You responsibly decide what advice you'd prefer to take [though A LOT tend to be very jokeful, and not actually serious]. It's a cute book you can read if you just need a getaway from actually being responsible and serious 24/7.

Summary: how much do I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book?
Review: Let's start out by saying that if you are aiming to manipulate people and step on others on your way to the top of the ladder, this isn't a guide book. But maybe you need it anyway because you should LOOSEN UP! The Bad Girl's Guide is all about finding what you REALLY want as opposed to what society dictates. It's about loving life, living large, and going after your desires with passion and no regrets. It's an inspiration to take on the world with a mischevious grin and not care when you mis-spell mischevious (like myself). It's viewing your life with the rose-colored glasses everyone should have, because nothing is as bad as it seems. Except a Bad Girl, of course! Indulge in a bubble bath, recline with the book, and rediscover why it's so fun to be a Bad Girl.
