Amazon.com Review

Deep down, every woman wants to be a Bad Girl. But after living a life of sweetness and light, it's sometimes difficult to stray from the path. Cameron Tuttle (author of the riotously funny Bad Girl's Guide to the Open Road) points the way in The Bad Girl's Guide to Getting What You Want. Tuttle offers up tips to help even the saintliest soul find her inner Bad Girl--and then use that power to get better dates (date yourself for a while first, until you're ready to dive in the dating pool); a better job (don't just settle for job satisfaction, aim for "job jubilation, job nirvana, job titillation"); and better parking (pray to Gladys, the universal parking goddess). With its sassy, iced-lavender cover--just the right size to slip into your purse--the Guide is jam-packed with practical and not-so-practical-but-funny advice, including excellent answers to one of life's most pressing questions: What do you do with old bridesmaid dresses? "Drench with ketchup and dress up as Carrie for Halloween"; "Sew into board bags for your snowboard and surfboard"; and, best of all, "Make your bridesmaids wear them in your wedding." Remember: it's great to be a girl, but it's even better to be a Bad Girl. --Sunny "Bad Girl" Delaney

I gave this a as a gift to my best friend and she thought it was excellent. Funny and uplifting. I plan on buying the rest of the "Bad Girl's Guides" to give as gifts or maybe to myself.

I'm not a "bad girl" yet, but the book has inspired me to bring some sheltered "wants" out in the open and into my personality. The book is both funny and an easy to swallow dose of confidence.

THIS BOOK WAS HORRIBLE! IT WAS SO STUPID, I CANNOT BELIEVE I WASTED MY TIME READING NOR MY MONEY BUYING IT. IT IS COMPLETELY IMMATURE AND RIDICULOUS. I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE WOULD PUBLISH THIS CRAP!

If you are looking for something to stimulate your brain, this isn't it. However, if you are just looking for a good laugh, you'll enjoy The Bad Girl's Guide. It's funny and light, and definitely a good way to pass a little bit of time.
