Summary: Hysterical! Loved it!
Review: I laughed out loud through most of this book and frequently was caught off guard by her humor at every angle. I feel vindicated! You mean I am the not the only one who feels this way? What a relief. If I have to go to one more wedding and have to hide in the ladies room well... i'll just...read another one of Suzanne's books! Ready and enjoy!

Summary: LOVED IT!!!!
Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK. LOVED IT..............I actually have not yet finished it because I am trying to savor it for just a few more days. I feel like I lived her life. I have jdated, speeddated, hurry-dated, gone from the dinner date to the 15 minute coffee date (okay, it is now 5 minutes, even 15 can be an eternity) and am still on the hunt....
This book will make you laugh and very much identify with the author. I highly recommend it if you are single.......or have ever been single!!!

Summary: It was okay
Review: I was looking forward to reading this book and I thought I could relate being a single woman, but it really annoyed me and I could not be sympathetic with someone who had enough money to fly off to any remote country she wanted to escape her problems - PLEASE! I would not recommend this book - I found it depressing.

Summary: An honest and clever read exploring the 20 something singles
Review: If you are single, buy this book immediately. If you know someone who is single, buy this book immediately. "The Curse of the Singles Table" is now one of my top five books of all time. Suzanne is witty. She if clever. She is honest. You will certainly laugh your butt off. I did, out loud on an airplane, as a matter of fact. Her story is not only entertaining, but inspirational. It is refreshing to know that someone else has experienced life's practical jokes on the twenty something singles. While you are at it, buy a couple of copies for your friends. You won't want to lend this one out.

Summary: Is It Me?
Review: Is it me? How many times have I asked myself that question? How many times have I asked my "Cabinet Members? WAY TOO MANY!!! As a gay man who just turned forty, this book came to me at just the right time. It was so refreshing to know that no, it isn't me - it's all the flakes and losers out there! I have been down the same roads as Suzanne, only in the gay world!! Suzannes book helped me to look at my situation with humor and gave me hope to go on.

And now for the good news!!! After going through all the online dating services, blind dates and such I met a guy through speed dating!!! After a couple coffee dates, dinners and getting to know each other for a couple weeks, WE HAD SEX on 1/1/06!!! We have been hanging out and seeing each other and if the date scheduled for tonight happens and we have sex again, I WILL HAVE HAD MORE SEX THIS YEAR THAN I DID ALL OF 2005!!!

Read this book, realize that it ISN'T YOU, have a good laugh, and keep trying. Hey, if it happened for me, it could happen for you!!!

THANK YOU SUZANNE!!!!

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful
Review: Like many other reviewers I saw so much of my selff in Ms. Schlosberg's book. Although non-fiction, this read like a novel. Definitely a must read for single women in their 30s.

Summary: More sex please!
Review: Over a 1000 nights without sex? Not an easy subject to be humourous about, but SS manages, seemingly effortlessly. For those of us with high expectations and surrounded by a bland male genepool, possibly deep into our own "streaks", here is the gift of laughter! At first this book reads like comic chick-lit, but early on it becomes clear there is more truth than fiction. For me, this added the verite of authenticity, all the more so as the affectionate descriptions of a full-on Jewish family made me both wince and smirk with recognition. Tact? They've never heard of it! Suffer from "the grass is greener everywhere but here" syndrome? Fantasise about taking off into the rural or small town idyll? Making a fresh start with all the bound-to-be-better and more plenteous men just waiting for your arrival to find true love? Well, our heroine has done it, and come out the other side...What's waiting for her? You'll have to read it to find out.

This is worth picking up for its humourous self and for the hope it engenders. For everyone who doesn't want to settle for second best and can't understand where all the good men have gone, laughter really is the best medicine.

Summary: Perfect Beach Reading
Review: Suzanne Schlosberg is priceless. Anyone who has experienced even a few months of datelessness (or celibacy) will appreciate her frustrations, and her quest to break her "streak." Suzanne Schlosberg is hilarious. Part of me never wanted her adventures to end -- though for her sake I'm glad her "1001 nights" ended happily -- because it was so much fun reading about her travels, her experiences and, of course, her high maintenance family. Suzanne Schlosberg is a genius!

Summary: The thirtysomething woman and the dating world
Review: The fact that a book like this is getting published is proof that there are thousands of attractive single thirtysomething women out there having little to no success in the dating world. If the years quickly add up until you can't believe how long it's been since you've experienced a successful relationship, you will relate. This is the first time I've seen unintentional, inexplicable, and long-term celibacy addressed in popular literature, although my hunch is that it is becoming more and more common. Overall, this is a great, therapeutic read for those who have been there. I particularly like the passages about all the insensiteve, wrongheaded accusations the authors' friends hurl at her regarding her lack of dating success.

Summary: 1,000 nights without is a big deal?
Review: The premise for this book is nothing special, and I can't say I feel sorry for the author as she bemoans her carnal drought. Plenty of people have gone far longer without intimacy -- some never experience it. The author displays a witty and engaging style, but as someone whose own drought has extended to 12,560 nights (I'm the same age as the author) I don't exactly consider her tale high adventure.
