[Michael Martin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Merrill Markoe is one of the few humorists out there who can make me laugh out loud. This book, which takes on relationship gurus, seminars, astral lovers, Hallmark verses, a Vanilla Ice "romantic" film, new age shamans (and even dog psychologists) did not disappoint. I loved it.

The problem with reading Merrill Markoe is that she makes me cry as much as laugh out loud. A lifetime of being surrounded by narcissists, paranoia about being narcissistic, and horrendous relationships are all things I can relate to.

Her interview with John Stewart might be my favorite episode of that show ever. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon...

And this. This is awesome: http://merrillmarkoe.com/enough-about...

She actually had a relationship w/David Letterman and I recently read - in a scandalous article - a funny 'blog' she wrote about how Dave told her she would be the only one he had extramarital affairs on.....

I zipped through all of Merrill Markoe's books this spring after seeing her in a TV interview about "Cool, Calm, and Contentious." This is my favorite of them--for the cover alone. They are hilarious and insightful.

not one of merrill's finest, but still an OK read.

Some parts were dated, but overall, it was entertaining.

Put it down after 38 pages. Terribly dated.
