Summary: 100% Gold!
Review: Dr. Laura will admit herself, she is telling you things that you don't want to hear, but that you already know. The trick is Just Do It! Respect yourself and demand that others do too, even when you don't feel like it, even when the company of a man FEELS more important than the respect of a man and yourself. The trick to doing it is that there IS NO TRICK! It's hard and somedays you will feel really lonely, but not everyday. By holding high standards you set yourself up for the happiness that God intended us to have.

Summary: This Is Great!
Review: I listened to this tape twice in two days and then bought copies for two of my friends who have daughters in college. This subject is treated with humor as well a respect. Difficult subjects approached in a manner that is not accusatory, but rather incredulous at times. I have known many "girls" who exhibit one or more of these problems. It was wonderful to hear someone say that we ARE responsible for our own actions!

Summary: Hmmm....
Review: I wonder how many people bought this book thinking that the Number 1 Stupid Thing Women Do To Mess Up Their Lives is let the married man they're having an affair with take naked pictures of them. Live and learn, Laura! I kid, I kid. Seriously though, I'm not sure what's more astounding about Dr. Laura, the fact that she was hired to dole out advice on the radio despite the fact that she is by no stretch of the imagination qualified to do so or the fact that people actually call into her show despite the fact that she is unwaveringly rude and narrow-minded. But the fact that women buy her books trumps them all!

Summary: Duh! Use Common Sense!
Review: I checked this book out of the library because the title was intriguing... I'm 19 years old and I wanted to get good advice for my future. Well, I found the book ridiculous! Everything she wrote about was based on common sense! Honestly! I've always known that it is wrong to manipulate and trick someone into having a baby in order to create or maintain a relationship! All I can say is that I'm SO glad that I did not purchase this book. It would have been a definate waste of money.

Summary: A Guys Perspective
Review: Call me stupid, but this book made sense. As a pastor I have come to realize that pastoral counseling is not one of my strengths. My concept of pastoral counseling is to get a 2 x 4 and smack someone on the side of the head and tells them to get a life- perhaps, that is my this book appealed to me. Dr. Lauras straightforward approach made perfect sense to me. Perhaps that is my so many woman reviews have panned this book at being cold, insensitive, or uncompassionate. But after twenty years of pastoral counseling, I still am dumbfounded how some women sabotage their lives. Case in point. During premarital counseling sessions, I always try to determine whether there is drug or alcohol abuse, especially in second or third marriages where children are involved. More than once, I have been told that there is no abuse where I have suspected there was only to have the woman back in my office three to six months later crying her eyes out and blowing snot into her hanky and telling me about her husbands drug or alcohol abuse. What is partially frustrating for me is that invariable these woman knew before their marriage that the problem existed, but believed that love would solve the problem. Ok, so I am another insensitive white male who does not understand woman. So be it. But I think that Dr. Laura is right.
