 Really Only For Women And The Message Is Wrong May 17, 2005
18 out of 31 found this review helpful
In an age where feminism, equality, freedom, and power are expressed through promiscuity, ignorance, and exhibitionsm among women, this work should come as no surprise. Once again another woman shamelessly shares her sexual prowess and promiscuity and sends the message to the women of today that this is how women should express their new-found equality, freedom and power.
If you equate the "freedom" of amateur porn star Paris Hilton, the crass stupidity of a half-naked Britney Speares, or the ambitious nude posings of Survivor casts and celebrities as the new found power of women, then this book is for you. Perhaps there could be some partial redeeming qualities if this book were actually funny, but penis size jokes and other genital related humor are about as original as Ashlee Simpson. Most men would never pick this up anyway, but I was asked to review this before publication and can only say many women will find this "empowering" and funny in ways that only today's women could.
All glib and no meat June 4, 2005

I wanted to like this book, I really did. But it's so shallow and just reads like a laundry list of awful men she's climbed into bed with. No self-examination, no growth, just mindless drinking and low self-esteem on parade. The only shocking thing in the book is her descriptopn of her racist putz of a father. A waste of time & money. I bought this book based on all the rave reviews on Amazon, but now I have to conclude they must have been written by her pals, because they are far off the mark. For a reality check, read the Publisher's Weekly review above.

I can't believe that so many people actually enjoyed reading this book! The only thing positive that I can say is that she is very smart to use this title. It was very misleading and I am sure a lot of people picked up the book expecting something racier.
The book is more about mocking men's physical traits than it is about one night stands. If you really insist on buying your own copy, I'm putting mine up for sale. Maybe I can make my money back.
 disappointing July 14, 2005

i was dispappointed by this book. at first pleased to find a sexually liberated woman. there were quite a few times i cringed through the book and i honeslty did not laugh out loud. maybe it's different while she's on stage but i don't find her funny. she even seems quite conceited. i am for the sexual liberation of women. i don't see how that fits with ruining your health with alcohol and drugs. the only good tip for
one night stands is the advice to never go anywhere without your car.
