Seed's Sketchy Relationship Theories - A Guide To The Perils Of Dating: How Not To Become A Bar Regular

Summary: A Controversial Gem.
Review: Hello, I decided that I want to get the word out about a new book that I have stumbled across due to the recommendation of a friend. Now this particular friend has from time to time been somewhat challenged when it comes to making suggestions regarding music, films, books and the arts in general. Lets just say that she usually promotes the above mentioned mediums with excitement and a verve that is infectious encouraging her friends to spend the coin in hopes of finding the next American Classic or Pop Culture Phenomenon. However, on a painfully repeating basis we are met over and over again with bitter disappointment.

Somehow though, this time her recommendation has been an outstanding surprise. She recommended a book called Seed's Sketchy Relationship Theories - A Guide to the Perils of Dating (How not to become a bar regular). I must admit I was incredibly skeptical. Once again with blind faith, I decided to take the leap of faith. This time I was prepared for the upcoming disappointment.

When I went online and checked out the book at Seed Enterprises and the links to the sellers, I must admit I was slightly intrigued by both the title and the cover. I received the book on January 14th and I have just now found the time to finish it. To my surprise and dismay my friend lead me to a raw, entertaining and controversial gem. What makes this book so refreshingly entertaining is that it does not pretend to be more than it is. When the world is so desperately trying to remain politically correct, which results in a glossing over and denial of the issues that we are facing in our day to day lives, the authors boldly state their opinions. Whether you agree with what they are saying or not, there is enough in this book to make you look inward first and perhaps even come to some conclusions about your own existence. I know I did. Facing reality sometimes leads you to the right path.

The authors challenge everything, they look at the divorce rate from a different perspective, they challenge how we are playing the game of life and have the guts to suggest that maybe we are getting it wrong. They seem to invite us in to their own lives to give us an insight to where their perspective comes from. This book speaks to everyone. Not only is it controversial, it is insightful and at times incredibly hilarious. I strongly suggest picking up a copy. It is much more than a relationship book, it really is a look at life. To top it off it looks at these subjects in such a fresh and original fashion it will leave you wanting more.

Next up in my reading que, Why Men Love B-tches. Could my friend hit on two in a row.

Summary: I Can't Stop Lauging.
Review: I bought this book a short time ago and I must say that it is "Laugh Out Loud Funny". Relationship advice and comedy combined. The way it should be. I am not sure if everyone will be able to handle the reality here. If you are a [...], stay away from this book. If you are not, you will enjoy. I know I did!!!

Summary: Fresh, provocative, compelling, voyeuristic and humorous.
Review: I enjoyed this book very much. When I picked it up I never expected too much from it. I thought it would just be another gutless relationship book, promising some magical formula for finding your "true love". To my surprise it turned out to be much better than I had expected. Being a writer myself, I know how difficult it is to write well and have an interesting (not to mention humorous) message.

There are few who possess these skills in sufficient quantity, and are willing to put in the work. I commend Seed and German Seed for their effort.

When I started reading the book, I approached it like I would any other book: read it from start to finish. But then my curiosity started getting the better of me. I started spot-reading chapters. It definitely is a book that can be enjoyed in this way. At this point, I think I've covered everything, but I haven't shelved the book yet. I keep stumbling across previously unread gems, or in some cases re-reading certain parts.

Many of the theories the Seeds presented are true and their expression is provocative and clearly expressed. Even in cases where I didn't particularly agree with a theory, I found their arguments compelling and, equally important, entertaining. They've really dumped a lot into this book. I got a very voyeuristic feel as I read the outtakes. Interesting exchanges between Seed and German Seed. The stuff between Seed and what's-her-name...what can I say...!!! Nice work! I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Fresh - Controversial - Fun - Hilarious
Review: I found this book to be incredibly honest and fresh. It seems to have a male perspective on dating and relationships, however, when you scratch below the surface, it is a book about life and the state of the world today. The authors tackle a very tough subject matter with courage and candor. They challenge the reader to make wise choices by encouraging them to think about their lives. Periodically they share their twisted humor, which had me busting a gut with laughter.

As they say in the book strive to be an "exception", I found this book to be exceptional. When I finished it I felt like I knew the authors personally. It reads like a great conversation between friends and the authors are not afraid to share some of their vulnerability. If you want an original read that will definitely make you think, then this is the book for you. Without question there is nothing else like it. It left me wanting more. (I actually caught the authors being interviewed on the radio and found them to be entertaining, honest, original and humorous. They seem to have a very positive energy, which definitely comes across in their book as well).

Summary: A Rare Find.
Review: I was not sure what to expect when I ordered this book a month ago. I was intrigued by the title. I rarely buy a book without reading a section first. This book did not disappoint. Seed's Sketchy Relationship Theories may be one of the funniest, honest and insightful books that I have read. If you want a good read that is funny, deep and controversial this may be a good selection. If you want fluff. There are tons of books trying to use metaphors to catch an audience.

Summary: This book is original, controversial and honest.
Review: Raw, passionate, controversial, edgy, honest and filled with unique humor. That would be one way to describe Seed's Sketchy Relationship Theories - A Guide to the Perils of Dating (How not to become a bar regular). This book has many aspects to it. It is much more than it appears to be. The authors examine how the sexes are treating each other in the dating game. It doesn't just suggest quick fixes. I found the authors to have the courage to challenge the course we are all taking. It makes many observations of the current state of society today and they do not sugarcoat their opinions.

Seed's Sketchy Relationship Theories really made me think about my life and how I am treating others. If you are not too sensitive you will realize that they encourage positive change. The book also pokes fun at societies norms and offers some simple suggestions on how to change them. This book tackles a tough subject matter with a fresh perspective. I really enjoyed the fact that this perspective came from "Real People" and it is filled with comedic touches to encourage us all to have a blast on this planet while we work our way through our day to day challenges.

Summary: Original and Hilarious
Review: Seed's Sketchy Relationship Theories is a unique and amusing look at the perils of dating. Seed's blunt, sarcastic style is original and, at times, controversial but provides a new hilarious perspective on dating, relationships and many other things. The Gravy section, alone, will leave you laughing for days! Good job Seed (and German Seed)!

Summary: A Gamut of Different Emotions
Review: This book made me incredibly angry. I bought this book for 2 reasons. The first reason is that I heard the Authors interviewed on a Montreal radio station and I found them to be entertaining. The second reason is that when I checked out their website I loved the books cover. When I started to read it I found myself getting increasingly mad at their opinions. How dare they make such bold statements. However, I found it hard to put the book down. Just when I figured they had crossed the politically correct boundaries they seemed to find a way to make me laugh with some of their rants.

As I progressed through the book I think I figured it out. Their theories though confrontational really made me think. I am not positive, but I think they are making fun of how things are. At first I did not agree with what they were saying and then I thought about my friends and the world and I am not sure if I disagree any longer. That actually made me feel sad. This book actually made me really examine how I treat people. I finally realized that this is not a self-help book or a book about how to "score". It is more about change and having a great time in the process of this change. At first I was going to give it only 1 star - after I worked and laughed my way through it I have changed it to 4 stars. If it didn't make me so angry in the beginning it would have been 5.

Summary: Finally.....
Review: What a fantastic book! I found the author's story first of all very moving. Secondly, the book does not try to sell some sort of simple recipe to get the guy you want, get married and then live "happily ever after". Each person is an individual and has their own strengths, weaknesses and needs. Life and male-female relationships just aren't that easy and the author really seems to understand that.

The author does not attempt to talk down to you on the basis of so-called expertise. None of this "get over it" crap. He (I am assuming it was written by a man) explains his view of the world and what's wrong with it. He seems to have had some hard knocks in life and has managed to retain a positive outlook. The book wasn't perfect and seemed a bit experimental at times but I found that interesting (albeit a bit off the wall).

Finally, here is someone who tells it like it is. No bs and very provocative.
