Summary: Colonel Mustard in the Library
Review: Fooled you! It wasn't really Colonel Mustard who killed me. It was boredom. Excruciatingly painful, death-inducing boredom! Before you too fall victim to this evil killer, buy a different book. As for Marnie Quinn whose review is "spotlighted" above, I'll give you ten-to-one that she doesn't really exist. Marnie Quinn is either a pseudonym for the author, or the editor, or the milkman of the author, or of the editor, or...of Colonel Mustard for all I care. There's no accounting for taste, but no real human being would actually find this book THAT enjoyable.

Summary: laughed and cried - loved it!
Review: I have to say this book was very helpful to me. It helped me sort through my feelings and it distracted me from my sadness. I felt like i was listening to a friend.

Summary: This book is a lifesaver...
Review: I highly recommend this book to anyone who is going through or recovering from a breakup. It is not a step-by-step guide to recovering from a breakup -- that would be so boring and I doubt anyone in a breakup state of mind would feel inclined to read or pratise it. Instead, the author offers you her friendship and support as she holds your hand and walks you through your ordeal, starting from the First Few Days where all you are required to do is Just Keep Breathing. There is no trace of preachiness or holier-than-thou-ness in the book. Instead, you feel that the author is going through the pain with you. But at the same time that she offers you her friendship, she is also there to ensure that you do not wallow in too much sadness and die of a broken heart (no man is that worthy!). She props you up when you trip over and encourages you to press on, like when you make that call that you know you shouldn't and she has told you not to and why not. In addition to the sound, practical and pragmatic advice, what distinguishes this as an outstanding book is the empathy and forgiveness that comes across. With some quiet humour and lots of common sense, you are encouraged (and sometimes pushed along) to continue placing one foot in front of the other day by day, until you yourself recognise that by doing this simple act (and continue breathing), you are already moving on and getting better. The author has done a wonderful job. She surely has been there before and knows what she's talkiing about. She's now back as a friend and supporter -- yours. Get this book!

Summary: Good if you are high
Review: Legalize It, and read this book. The two together are a winner. The book alone is not worth it. But together, the two are a match made in heaven for the matchless on earth.

Summary: Sorrow
Review: The badness of this book, forces me to express myself in a higher medium. My emotions can only find proper expression in poetry:I feel sorry for the paper that was wasted.
I feel sorry for the ink.
I fill sorry for the money that I threw down the sink.

Summary: Repetitive, selfish
Review: The tone of this book struck me as all wrong. I think deep down this woman is very selfish and self-centered, although she pretends to be concerned about others. She repeats herself often, and this book is simply not funny. I have a good sense of humor, but I didn't laugh even once. All of the other reviews go on about how funny this book is. I simply don't get it.

Summary: This book is a lifesaver...
Review: This book is chock full of helpful advice and it is writen in a way that feels as though you are talking to a really, wonderful, soothing and understanding friend. The best part is that it is like having this friend at your beck and call 24 hours a day. It really helped me through a rough time.
Thank you Delphine for writing this book!

Summary: Empty
Review: This reads like 1,000 other articles that I have read in women's mags at the dentist's office. If you have never been to the dentist, or the doctor, or if you have never thumbed through a magazine while waiting in line at the grocery store, then hurry: READ THIS BOOK!
