1) Paperback Book Check, Please!: Dating, Mating, and Extricating by HarperEntertainment. You can read it from beginning to end, or just skip through the funny parts. More for single people. As a married person I could barely relate to that stuff anymore! She offers down to earth, candid and uncensored advice to women on how to handle man, often throwing in her own funny and personal stories.

After a while, it gets repetive and you wonder about the time you spent reading this book that you can NEVER get back!¤

2) Paperback Book Check, Please!: Dating, Mating, and Extricating by HarperEntertainment. Janice Dickinson is famous for her career, her lovers, and her tell-it-like-it-is style. This book is a great read for any woman who has dared enter the dating world!¤

3) Paperback Book Check, Please!: Dating, Mating, and Extricating by HarperEntertainment. Janice Dickinson has a great sense of humor. While you may not agree with some of the things suggest, things she has done or the choices she has made, she doesn´t brush them under the carpet. She´s bold, she´s honest and she tells stories with a twist of humor. A fun read.¤

4) Paperback Book Check, Please!: Dating, Mating, and Extricating by HarperEntertainment. A FUN Read.

The sub-title says it´s about Dating, Mating and Extricating. But I wouldn´t take it too seriously. Sure, it´s fine if you´re a rich, six foot, supermodel with a body that´s the very best example of what high priced plastic surgeons can build. Instead just read it for fun, in the same way we like to see the super houses of the rich and fameous.

And fun it is.

It´s a description of a life where men are falling all over themselves to go out with her. It´s the description of a girl getting ready to go on a skiing trip with a boy friend who goes out to buy $3,000 worth of clothes for the trip. It´s probably not going to be of much practical help to the woman who finds herself single again, a few pounds overweight, with three kids to take care of. Instead, just read it for it´s outlandish fun.¤

5) Paperback Book Check, Please!: Dating, Mating, and Extricating by HarperEntertainment. A LADY? Are you kidding...with all the f-bombs she drops in this book lol? Still, it´s the very thing to shake folks up.

In her book, this Zza Zza Gabor of the 21st Century gives us ordinary people a peek into her egocentric "fantastic plastic" world. Normally, that would just annoy me, but I had to laugh at some of the "meow" factor in this book...and let´s face, it she does dispense good real-life advice when it comes to dating...stuff that people NEED to hear rather than what they want to hear...and from the voice of true experience rather than some smug but clueless married woman.

Dickinson´s advice is brutally honest and is given with a healthy dose of sass...and I like how she doesn´t believe in all that "Rules" crap, nor does she put all the blame on dating failure exclusively on the female of the species like so many advisors do. I especially LOVE her comment about the men who are fat "trolls" but still expect to have a supermodel on their arm...it´s about damn time someone said that to those megalomaniacs LOL. Her comment about the Twinkies had me nearly rolling on the floor laughing...crude but hilarious!

Note I am not claiming this book is illuminating, socially redeeming or profound. If you want that then I´m afraid you´ll have to look elsewhere, but just for a bit of shadenfreunde inspired laughter at her and other folk´s expense, then this is where you want to be...

P.S. I love the forward by John Lovitz too...he´s as nervy and funny as she is...so did she sleep with him or not, that´s what I want to know! That info could probably fill an entire book, eh? LOL¤
