Summary: Getting Serious About Getting Married
Review: I saw Janis on some TV interviews and thought she was terrific. As I am newly "on the market", I thought reading this book would give me some tips to get back in the game. I liked myself before reading the book, and I thought she would give me some advice on how to tweak what I already have. Half way through the book I was so depressed I didn't want to finish it. I learned that I need to hire a personal trainer and a fashion consultant, change jobs, move to some other part of the country......basically change everything about myself to find a man. I am so disappointed that I spent money on this book. If I lived in New York or LA the advice might be relevant to that lifestyle, but I don't, nor do I want to. The only good chapter was how to recognize when you've been in a relationship too long with a loser, something that should be obvious but isn't when you love the guy and you're convinced he'll change. I'll give her credit on that one. Otherwise, I'll keep looking for the man that loves and appreciates my assets just as they are!

Summary: Get Serious About Getting Married : 365 Proven Ways to Find
Review: I saw the author on the morning news show on Sunday, Jan. 2. She said that homely single women WOULD NOT find husbands. Well, that takes care of a lot us single women and I didn't appreciate it. Not everyone can afford to have cosmetic surgery or to do a lot of the things this author was talking about. Sure didn't make me want to buy her book!!!!

Summary: Finally, someone to tell you the truth
Review: I saw this author on the TODAY show and she was very frank - so I was interested in reading the book. So far, I am very happy with it. It gives a lot of common sense advice, based on experience. Some of the advice is tried and true (and I need to hear it) and a lot of I have never thought of - and I am excited to try. I think the author is right, women have to look their best and can't get stuck in a style rut because that's what men react to at first. That's life, and you really can't get angry about it. I wish some of the other reviewers had actually read the book and just not reacted to what the author had said on TV before leaving comments. This is a really helpful book.

Summary: Marriage Minded Ms.
Review: OK, I said to myself, if only 10 of the 365 tips prove to be worthwhile, it's probably worth the money. I'm about halfway through and I'm very happy I spent my money. I like Spindel's common sense approach and also her insight into how women fool and delude themselves over improper romantic attachments--while letting more worthy long-term prospects slip through our fingers. I just started dating a really great guy I probably wouldn't have "given a chance" before--since I always avoided "nice guys". Quitting bad dating habits is harder than quitting smoking! ...Just for fun, I'm reading a really hilarious book written by a man about his adventures as a Dad, it's called, "I Sleep At Red Lights: A True Story of Life After Triplets," by Bruce Stockler. Funny, honest and a roller coaster entertainment.

Summary: Saw her on television
Review: She said plain people won't find a pot for their lid. She said the world is superficial. I'd already been to the bookstore, so it was too late. I was shocked to see she'd stolen most of her ideas from other writers in this genre. As a regular reader of this kind of book, I could not have been more surprised to see all the cliches. Pots, lids, superficial--doesn't she know we are people with hearts and souls and, most of all, feelings that can be easily hurt?

Summary: Something fun and helpful for women over 35!
Review: The aspect of this book I like the most is the tip format. You can read this book straight through (I read it last night in one sitting) but you can also dip into it anywhere and find something amusing and useful. The author is pretty frank about what women need to do, especially those of us who are over 35, but it's really honest and helpful in the same way the British "What Not to Wear" women are: "your best friends won't tell you but we're not you're best friends, and we will!" That's the attitude this author takes. Harsh at times, but frankly, I do need a new haircut. There's also a chapter that is devoted to places where you can meet men, many of which seem pretty imaginative. By the way, Johanna Davidson is my real name, not a pen name I just don't want to give Amazon my credit card number.

Summary: gotta love it
Review: This book is amazing. It is really straight to the point. I can't stand some of the reviewers on this page who can't handle it. I'm sorry if you were offended because she said homely people will not find a mate, and I know you probably can't afford cosmetic surgury. That is not what she was recomending. Why not just get a new haircut, put on some makeup, find some clothes that play up your best features, and go out there??!? There are plenty of men who don't look like models either. Believe me, there is someone for everyone!
