Summary: Honest, Funny, Enlightening
Review: I liked this book because it really doesn't sugar coat that much. It honestly tells it how it is. They tell you the truth about how each of the sexes act, and tips on how you should act accordingly. This book shows that in playing the dating game, how some things will end up, or how to know when to say no.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dateable- An Excellent Book
Review: I read Dateable and found it very helpful. A lot of the advice was sound as a bell and answered many of the questions I had about relationships. However, I disagreed heavily with some of the content, such as:
# All girls want commitment RIGHT NOW and doodle 'Mrs. Mary-Sue Hollings' or whatever all over their notebooks.
# Your boyfriend/girlfriend MUST BE A CHRISTIAN AND THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE!
# If a boy is alone with a girl he cannot control himself. (In my opinion, this relieves the boy of all personal responsibility and makes everything the girl's fault for being 'impure')
Overall, however, I really liked the book. Although it is definetly written for the Evangelical Christian teen, It is helpful for everybody. Definetely should be on the required reading list for a girl/guy new to the dating game, especially if the parents never dated much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I RECOMMED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!
Review: I really like this book. I started it about 3 days ago and I'm just about done with it. I can't put it down; I'm learning a lot and I am enjoying telling my co-workers and friends about it. I really recommend this book--I think everyone should read it. It tells you a lot about the opposite sex and can really help girls with the mystery of guys. Please give it a chance!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for Teenagers and their Parents
Review: I wasn't expecting a whole lot when I picked this book up. Perhaps a tongue and cheek take on the dating scene. However I found a lot of depth and insight that is Christian based but not a glaring fire and brimstone, you will go to hell sermon.

It's well written, funny, and has some good examples. However, the book is aimed toward the high school crowd. If you're a teenager, check it out. If you're a parent of a teenager, definitely get it, read it, and use it as a basis to start talking to your kids about sex and dangers therein. If you're none of the above, and did all the bad things in high school the book warns you against go ahead and look into it. Then if you're a guy get John Eldredge's, Wild at Heart.

And if you are not part of the sex crazed teenage population and have been offended by the portrayl of men and women's feelings and attitudes expressed by the authors, I'm sure they're sorry. You have fought the good fight and have my utmost respect. However, with the way divorce and teenage pregnancy rates are going, the views conveyed in this book have merit.

Summary: FANTASTIC!!! iT HELPED ME!
Review: The book was definately fantastic . . . Thanks to that book I have a better image of myself. I was really depresive over a long relationship that turned sour and it was amazing how their words just touched me so much. I would definately recomend it for any teen who is beginning to date or even for older people. The book inspired me to explore my destiny and realize what was really happening before my eyes, when a teen is in that stage of mind where she or he is blinded there's definately no coming out until we hit rock bottom but this book definately helps with recovering or even avoiding that problem! Now that i've read it I wish I had it earlier! .. . I really enjoyed the book soo much that I read it already 3 times and I would continue to read it over and over . . .

I definately hated reading before I read this book but it has changed my mind and I now enjoy reading books. I have become a huge fan of Justin and Hayley because they just tell you straight out what are the facts . . . and it's like they uncover a mask from your face.

I am now giving all my friends this book for their birthdays and so far I have only heard extremely positive reviews from them!

PARENTS...FRIENDS...RELATIVES...WHOEVER YOU ARE...if you are thinking of buying this book . .. dont think twice . . . I guarantee you ITS DEFINATELY WORTH IT!!!!!

and if your worried about it being christian related . . if you not christian so what!! it just applies morals which hey isn't soo bad after all...it's not throwing the relgion on you . . . they are explaining about MORALS!!!

Summary: not a very true book
Review: this book acts like all guys are horny liars and all girls are emotional psychos. hey some guys are emotional and some girls are really horny too. very stereotypical and one-sided i would not recommend this book at all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ATTENTION ALL GUYS READ THIS BOOK AND BECOME DATEABLE !
Review: This book is a beautiful example of why I should have guys liking me. I am completely Dateable. I think this book is more for the select few guys that read it. It was enlightening to read about what guys should do to be even a proper date. Finally someone has. Although there were many truths to this book, I still wonder why a guy even worth dating hasn't come along me way ,oh well. God will put one in my path eventually.
This book is a good example of how people should be, but in today's culture it is hard to be a truly good person finding a good partner. Let alone a Christian trying to find the ONE. It gives wake up call to hormonal teenager. Girl don't be (I hate to say it) (...). Guy don't be wimps or even worse dawgs. Then the classic, DON'T HAVE SEX line. It was enjoyable and after fully reading the book I have decided all you can do is be dateable and pray your dateable guy or girl will come along. I have learned though that the book is more for people who already have had boyfriends. It is a good book for those who want to know how to date properly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT
Review: This book is a must read for teens as well as adults. It opens both girls and boys up to each others minds, and lets you see the reality. It tells the whole truth- ugly and good, but everything the book is about is something that every girl and guy should know. Justin and Hayley have done just an awesome job with this book, and everyone should read it. It's amazing!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Grrrrr....
Review: This book was really discriminatory to guys and girls and seemed to be a way to put people down in a way that they thought they were getting advice. Also at one point it said that all girls should have a few basic standards and number one was:

1.Christian. This is a must have, no compromise.

This really made me mad. Although I am Christian I have a lot of friends who arent (my best friend is jewish) and it left me fuming at the authors. Another thing that made me mad was that they said that girls should not ask guys out. I mean, how can you be dateable without letting them know that you're a prospect? Besides, guys are usually just as scared as girls about asking out the opposite sex. It said to "let them come to you" I am a teen and beleive me, they DO NOT come to you. By the time i had read both of those, I was so mad that I could hardly pay attention to the good advice. Which brings me to my next point. The advice in this book was stuff I knew from plain old common sense. People who found this book helpful are ABSOLUTELY AN COMPLETELY CLUELESS ABOUT ANYTHING SOCIAL. Another thing I hated about this (yes, the list goes on and on) was that they said that teen should not make out. I think this is pretty much harmless as long as you know your limits and arent makeing anyone uncomfortable. Same thing with the tickling and massaging issue. Tickling and massaging do NOT neccicarally lead to sex. So, basically, if you want to read this book you can, but be prepared to be really pissed off. (unless you are a prude or really, really, really religious.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enlightening
Review: This book was really great. It was funny, and the doodles on the page kept me entertained. People should really read this, because it helps girls and guys to figure themselves out. Justin and Hayley wrote a great book for all teenagers to read!
