I do not believe I have ever laughed as much as I did from reading this wonderful book. In the most humorous style it nails your romantic partner's zodiac sign, calling out its whims for what it is. For example, "The Favorite Taurus Pickup Line: 'What are your beliefs, and can you cook?' " or "A Taurus is as jealous as a Scorpio, as whiny as a Cancer, as infantile as an Aries, plus they have that Taurus-only trait of being the most judgmental and least acquiescent sign in the Universe." OR "You know how you shiver with fear at the idea of something extremely dangerous, but feel compelled to proceed? Well, falling for a Scorpio is just like that shudder of terrified excitement." Truly excellent! :) Really worth coming back to over and over again.

Một cuốn sách thích hợp mang theo đọc vội vài trang hoặc đọc trong lúc chờ đợi, hoặc dành cho ai thích đọc nhảy từ phần này sang phần khác.

Một cuốn sách có thể có thể từ từ gặm nhấm để thấu hiểu nhân tình thế thái hoặc chỉ đơn giản là tìm hiểu lại bọn người yêu cũ trái nết, và bạn càng thêm chắc chắn sẽ tránh xa tám vạn thước nếu có dấu hiệu thích gã nào trong cung đấy.

Một cuốn sách đọc để mổ xẻ và chiêm nghiệm lại gã bạn trai có logic trái ngược với bạn, để thấu-hiểu hoặc không thì liệt kê ra một nghìn lẻ n tính xấu và từ từ đá đít hắn.

Chẳng có ví dụ nào tốt hơn là lấy các gã trai tồi ra làm hình tượng mẫu trong sách...

Yêu theo cung hoàng đạo là cuốn sách như vậy đấy.

(-) Sách dịch hơi khó hiểu, câu cú không gọn lắm.

Không quá sâu sắc nhưng cũng không quá hời hợt. Vừa đủ cho những bạn teen nhưng lại lôi cuốn bởi giọng văn hài hước và chua ngoa. Đúng là cẩm nang sinh tồn trong tình ái cho những bạn trẻ mới bắt đầu con đường yêu đương. Cho 4 sao vì đọc thấy đúng khá nhiều về phần Nhân Mã của mình.

Hilarious with some truth thrown in to boot. Although I don't consider myself a drudge...now that part about sex and the cooking channel is ALL me!!

I bought this book two years ago, when I started my steps into Astrology, but unfortunately I lost it. Left it on the bus, to be honest.

I found it some months ago, and I immediately bought it. Like it or not, this book is honest, and truthful. At least in the majority of the signs; Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, Taurus and Aquarius are really spot on, for me. Pisces too.

If you want a book that writes about basic characteristics of the person you're interested in, this book is ideal. There's always more to them of course (your horoscope may be influential too, damping or enhancing some of the qualities of your zodiac), but apart from that, it knwos what it is talking about.

If you want a more detailed info on your sign, choose her other book, Born on a Rotten Day. All in all, I enjoyed this book, and I read it very often.

If you're in to astrology this is a great book. I loved comparing mine and my hubbys signs and signs with ex boyfriends. It was sort of scary how dead on it was with my relationship with my husband.

Không quá sâu sắc nhưng cũng không quá hời hợt. Vừa đủ cho những bạn teen nhưng lại lôi cuốn bởi giọng văn hài hước và chua ngoa. Đúng là cẩm nang sinh tồn trong tình ái cho những bạn trẻ mới bắt đầu con đường yêu đương. Sách dành rất nhiều đất để bàn về sở thích tình dục của các cung. Cho 4 sao vì đọc thấy đúng khá nhiều về phần Nhân Mã của mình.

Uomini e donne di tutti i segni zodiacali, tremate.
Sfigology in love svelerà tutti i vostri tremendi difetti e i vostri meschini comportamenti in amore!

Come Sfigology, anche Sfigology in love è un libro estremamente divertente, volto ad analizzare il comportamento amoroso di ogni segno zodiacale portandone alla luce gli aspetti più tremendi.
Così, i nati della Vergine "affiggono piani quinquennali del sesso in camera da letto, accanto agli elenchi delle vitamine da prendere. Dividono gli armadi in base al colore a distribuiscono gli indumenti per giorni della settimana"; i Gemelli "pensano che sia perfettamente accettabile dire che vi amano come pazzi, per poi ripetere tutta la scena con qualcun altro", e i nati dello Scorpione "sono talmente riservati da essere criptici. Vi manderanno e-mail tipo Spero che tu stia bene. Io sto meglio ora che la polizia se n'è andata".
Ma tranquilli, se dopo aver letto tutto questo volete ancora il vostro egocentrico Leone o la vostra vanitosa Bilancia, il libro vi dirà come acchiapparli, come tenerli stretti e come mollarli senza farvi male. Intendo senza che loro vi facciano male.

In fondo al libro sono presenti le tabelle per calcolare il segno in cui transitavano Luna, Marte e Venere, al momento della vostra nascita e soprattutto di quella del partner, in modo da poter leggere in che modo questi corpi celesti influenzino la personalità della vostra dolce metà.

Un libro che non è da prendere sul serio, ma che fa di certo passare un piacevole pomeriggio.
Non leggetelo se siete permalosi!

Seems to be mostly assuming that people will be the worst possible example of their sign, with some redeeming qualities thrown in for the "Keeping One" sections. It was annoying. I may be a Pisces, but I'm not addicted to drugs, alcohol, or anything else.

Otherwise, some astrological gems shined out at me. Some made me laugh at how true they were.

I did gain some insight, but I did have to cut through lots of crap (like unethical advice to cheat on partners - I realize the author writes for Cosmo, but come on!) I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't already know a fair amount of astrology or at least sign characteristics. It could give them the wrong idea about everyone. And they should have strong ethics before they read, too.

Hands down the best astrology book I've ever read...and I've read a lot of them. Accurate AND flat out hilarious. Includes not only in-depth sun sign information but moon, venus, and mars (read the intro carefully on how to calculate it, it can be confusing at first, the chart is at the end of the book).

Một cuốn sách hay dành cho những người muốn tìm hiểu về chiêm tinh học, về 12 cung hoàng đạo. Cuốn sách xoáy vào việc yêu đương, tình dục của các cung hoàng đạo. So sánh với bản thân và người yêu của mình thì mình thấy sách đúng với thực tế tầm 70%. Những câu chuyện kể trong sách khá là nhạy cảm và từng trải, vì vậy phù hợp với những bạn 18 tuổi trở lên.

One of my top favorite astrology books! Its a good spin on typical astrology reads and more entertaining than anything. I also suggest the Born on a Rotten Day. I just discovered theres a Friends on a Rotten Day, I want to add that to my collection too!

I would like to see astrology that work the angles of the zodiac archetypes. This one doesn't. Cosmo bedside astrologer would serve you better.

They tell it like it is in a way you can hear it, great for recent breakups, the hung up, and the heart broken. She'll get you laughing.

It's crazy how accurately the "surviving one" section for Cancer describes my soon-to-be ex-husband. Made me laugh!

Born on a Rotten day is much better. The sarcasm in BOARD comes across as humorous and actually makes sense, but in this book, it can be down right mean. Still a fun read.

This book is meant for fun (obviously), and it is a lot of fun. It also hits home on many points.
