Summary: ...a good read...
Review: A give and take kind-of book that deals with the relationship between "A Good" man and the love of his life. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY is a little on the "wordy" side, but a good read non-the less. Written by a contemporary male author, it is astounding that Mr. Robinson was able to tap into the actions and minds of today's single black females with such accuracy. Mr. Robinson brings to light the old question, " If women 'claim' to want a good man, then why do they only date the bad boy-player type?" I would recommend this book to readers that enjoy peeking over the fence to see "the grass on the other side." Be prepared to see a lot of your actions and people you know in these pages. -WE

Summary: A Masterful Job!!!!
Review: Chet Robinson has done a fine job with this tome. What surprised me about his effort was the way the author tapped into the mind of a woman with excellent use of emotions. I remember sitting on a plane, en route to San Antonio, Texas by way of Cincinnati. The trip was 3 hours. My journey was spent reading 200 plus pages of this outstanding book!!!! Mitchell Stone, a nice guy at the breaking point, prfofesses his long nurtured feelings for Nikki over dinner. And from this ill-timed confession to its satisfying conclusion, Mr. Robinson takes into a neighborhood where many guys dwell. Men will be high-fiving when reading about Mitchell Stone's truths while transforming himself into the bad boy women seem to covet. While very, very entertaining, it reveals a sad truth about the dating scene in light hearted form. Many women just don't appreciate Good guys. Unless, of course, they've been played like a Parker Brothers board game. Do we really have to transform ourselves, as Mitchell did, to get the women of our dreams? Even in this revelation, Chet takes Mr. Stone back to his authenticity at novels end, this coming after plenty of drama, however. Drama that is weaved into some amazing, astounding writing. Great job, Chet!!!!!

C. Kelly Robinson must of had a good time writing this novel because I had a good time reading it. It was so entertaining. The whole discussion of "men are dogs" and women make us this way" is on point. Although it was bit predictable in parts, this book will have you talking for days. It is the perfect book to read if you have a male/female Bookclub, if not read it
anyway. A Highly recommended read! Kotanya

Summary: Every Dog Has Its Day...
Review: How many times as women have we met a man that we thought was "the one", only to be left behind with the nagging question of "what in the hell just happened here"? Mitchell Stone, a financial analyst, and Nikki Coleman, an associate director in promotions, are both seeking solace in the dating game. Mitchell is looking for more than just a one night stand, he's looking for a committed relationship, while Nikki is comfortable with her nocturnal "stress" relievers. Even though she and Mitchell have been seeing each other for a few months, he is jut too "nice" for her. For that reason Nikki has never considered the two of them ever being more than just friends. Once confronted by Mitchell about their lukewarm friendship Nikki shuts him down without giving it a second thought, maybe losing out on the best thing that has ever happened to her. Tired of being rejected and placed in the "can I lean on you for advice" category when seeking a meaningful relationship that lasts longer than a few hours, Mitchell decides to trade in his "Nice Guy" qualities for the ultimate unwritten guide on how to be the best dog that you can be. Searching for the best professional help with his decision, Mitchell decides to put together a "Playa's Ball" consisting of males who are known to possess the skills to enhance his next move. The only problem with this is all that glitters isn't gold, finding out what true playas really go through may not be as easy and rewarding as it seems. When I first read the synopsis was I hoping that the author would be able to shed some light on the issue of what triggers a man to become a dog without harping on which gender is to blame. C. Kelly Robinson has thoroughly enhanced "No More Mr. Nice Guy" with personal perspectives from both the female and the male mind. The best part came when each character found themselves in positions where they reaped what they sowed. Positive or negative the finalities were on point and had me questioning my own contributions in previous relationships, reminding me that regardless of gender "every dog has its day". -Monique Baldwin-Worrell, founder of Flavah Reviewers

Summary: Don't buy this book if you aren't going to do the exercises.
Review: I picked up this book based on the title alone.
This book might a good starting point for you, if in the past if you haven't ever had a chance to take a class in psychology during your high school or college years. I completed a social science major in college, so many of the concepts in this book were not new to me, with that said, After listening to it on CD, It sounded to me like the "moan and groan" clubs Cliff Notes.
I may be missing the point, but I don't think that it is unreasonable to believe that a large portion of the population has a mortgage (rent), a spouse, kid(s) as well as the day to day issues of exercise, eating right, spending time with the family, household upkeep, being overworked and underpaid, in a constant state of fatigue and maybe not getting enough sex.
So what. - That's life!!
There is one other major limiting behavior, that I think the author missed, that is the issue of finite time. We all know that there are only 24 hours in a day and are forced to work within those confines. I also felt that there was a little bit of repetition in the concepts on sex presented in the later chapters. I got the point already - move on!! Furthermore, I don't fully agree with the root of some of the problems that were mentioned. The way such thoughts and behaviors could have come about, childhood events, the shortcomings of parents, upbringing, blah, blah blah.
On the up side, the author does give some good suggestions on improving the readers' skill set. To help you overcome those self-limiting beliefs and behaviors the author asks some interesting questions like: "If this were a second date would you put up with a certain type of behavior in your partner or coworker that you disapprove of?"
Yes we all have God given talents, but for the most part I think the majority of the ideas in this book are things that anyone can learn to do - if they are willing to "try" to. - I think that is what he was attempting to get everyone to do with the exercise's in the book. I believe that life is ultimately about choices, we are where we are today because of the choices we made in our past. It is as simple as that for me. So decide and then act. If you do the exercises than it may be rated at a 3 to a 3.5
I suggest you buy the book used or pick it up at the library

Summary: It was more like 3 1/2 stars
Review: I was eagerly looking forward to reading this book but I was a tad bit disappointed. Mitchell Stone is your typical nice guy that can't find a decent woman no matter how hard he tries. Out of the blue he runs into Nikki, the girl that he had a crush on in high school. Nikki and Mitchell date but Mitchell wants to take the relationship to a higher level, meanwhile Nikki is just looking for someone to do the things that the other men in her life won't do. After a date with Nikki, Mitchell decides that a nice guy is not what the ladies want, he thinks that they want a dog. Mitchell decides to transform himself into a dog along with the help of friends. Mitchell didn't realize that being a dog comes with a price and Nikki realizes you don't miss what you have until it's gone. Overall this was a pretty good read, it just appeared to be superficial at times to me. .

Summary: Mitchell the nice guy
Review: Mitchell Stone has had it with always being the good guy. So he decides to become a "player', he thinks that is what women want. The story is funny and cute as you follow Mitchell from the "The Nice Guy" to " The Dog" - covering his bald spot with shoe polish and hanging around the town's most wanted dogs, whom he asks for instructions. All this to gain the heart of Nikki, the woman he really wants. And Nikki who has always been fond of Mitchell but never thinks of him seriously because after all he is " Nice Guy", starts to wonder when she sees him stepping out with other ladies. She finally takes notice. The story was funny, A nice slow romance read. It leaves you wonder about all those " Nice Guys", maybe they aren't so hum drum if given the chance.. 02.. our first review didn't post.
