Summary: How to Leave a Badboy
Review: After reading this book, I discovered that I was involved with a very dangerous man, that was more than likely going to try to hurt me very bad. He had all of the signs and the red flags that this book describes. After reading the 12 profile's which described him to a "tee" as the worst of the badboys, the type that could kill me, I decided to leave him for good. Two weeks later, upon leaving him, he fired a gun at me and tried to kill me, just like the book said would happen. Three weeks after trying to kill me, he killed himself. I lived to tell my story and I am here today. He is dead. This is a MUST READ BOOK for any woman invovled in a dangerous relationship with a badboy and certainly a must for any woman who is a victim of domestic violence.

Summary: Simplistic one sided pop psychology-few worthwhile insights
Review: Any good points this book may have is offset by it's negatives. Another man bad, woman good book without putting any responsiblity on the women who chase 'bad boys'. The book actually gives advice on how to stay with a bad boy rather than ways to work on a woman's low self esteem. No mention of the fact that there are "bad girls" out there who fit the same chracteristics. A forgettable book with nothing new to say.

Summary: damage yourself
Review: Look at the Library Journal review presented here. Lieberman is guilty of everything mentioned in the first half of the review. Overblown prose. Numerous cliches. [Ideas] palatable to daytime talk-show devotees. Simplistic Freudian analysis. Mumbo-jumbo. This is the state of the business today, and it has much more to do with making money by crushing lives than psychoanalysis. If you're in this book's target audience, you are already far too dim to comprehend just why this book is so lousy - the good news is, reading it cannot damage you further. But for the rest of you, consider the Library Journal review (if not this one) a warning - stay away from this junk, for your sanity's sake. This woman (Lieberman) should be jailed, if only to keep her away from a word processor. And the publisher should consider itself lucky it cannot be brought up on charges of incompetence.

Summary: So much fun, great insight!!
Review: This book is a fun read; but furthermore, it provides great insight into why bad boys act the way they do, and even more importantly, why we'd be interested in spending time with someone who acts this way!! Nice read ;) .

Review: Written in the same style as COSMOPOLITAN magazine, BAD BOYS is a simplistic, but somewhat useful survey of the major Bad Boy archetypes.
