A MODERN WOMAN'S GUIDE - Review written on October 23, 2005
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5
7 customers found this review helpful, 1 did not.

I met the author at a business school in Cambridge, MA, where he was a guest lecturer, so now I hear his voice now on every page of HOW TO MARRY MONEY.
The little blue book is an amusing read that can be used as a modern woman's guide to flirting, dating, sex and marriage.
Humor seems to be the key to success in many areas and I'm looking forward to more light-hearted books by Mr. Doyle.

It never leaves my coffee table, because it sparks a lot of conversation. The Secrets of Rich Sex chapter is a tongue in cheek riot

While skewering the arrogant and the greedy, this humorous guide provides the reader with tools and tips for travelling, attending social functions and enjoying the company of the jet set.
A RIOT - Review written on July 03, 2005
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5

A riotous read (in a deadpan kind of way) of amusing anecdotes, rules and instructions for life. Whether you take it seriously or poke fun at it, it's a brisk jaunt through the pretentions of wealthy members of the American establishment, where what really matters is to dress right and read Town and Country.
One of my favourite anecdotes touchs upon the use of a terrapin fork.
It's written by an Irishman from Boston and Cape Cod who describes the rich in this country, showing us in detail who they really are and how they live.
It's unlikely to leave my coffee table for a while.
THREE FOR SUCCESS - Review written on June 30, 2005

To succeed in the Northeast, you need Doyle's HOW TO MARRY MONEY, Molloy's DRESS FOR SUCCESS and Birnbach's OFFICIAL PREPPY HANDBOOK.
These books will help ambitious people keep their eyes on the prize.

This book is just the right gift for the man with a wry sense of humor to give favorite hostesses, graduates, birthday girls, etc.

Save for a listing of high profile charity events, everything in this book is deadpan humor.
It amazes me that anybody is taking it seriously.
SOPHISTICATED FUN - Review written on April 21, 2005

A fun gift or coffee table book, sophisticated and candid, of irrefutable interest to any woman with a high taste level.
Waste of money - Review written on April 07, 2005

Rating: 1 out of 5

I did not find the book funny, interesting, or to have much substance. I definitely would not consider it a good gift or stocking stuffer. If you want ideas on meeting people, Ginie's book has more substance. The Gold Digger's Guide is much more entertaining.
AMBIGUOUS - Review written on March 05, 2005
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5


Well written and fun to read but I wonder if this guy might be pulling our legs a bit.

HTMM seems to have a laugh at the expense of greedy woman.

The author could have been dumped by some girl who married a rich guy.

In any event, Doyle tells engaging stories and I wonder what bead he'll draw next.
GOOD TO SEE THIS AUTHOR AGAIN - Review written on December 31, 2004

Rating: 5 out of 5

Kevin Doyle brings out a new title every year and HTMM is my favorite, because it's the most fun for gift-giving - light, instructive, well-written and welcomed like Wodehouse.
I've written to Doyle at Plume Publicity, 375 Hudson Street, NY, NY 10014 and he sent me his email address: kevindoyle42@earthlink.net.

A stocking-stuffer for females this year.
Entertaining and instructional little book is a staple, along with OH, THE PLACES YOU WILL GO, for grads, Valentines and Hostesses.
The Sex Chapter is a riot!
Looking forward to more books by the author.
CRAFTY, POWERFUL INFORMATION - Review written on August 21, 2004
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5
12 customers found this review helpful, 4 did not.

The 411 in Kevin Doyle's latest book is sly and potentially dangerous, just like the writing in his other books HOW TO MEET BEAUTIFUL WOMEN and DATING YOUNGER WOMEN.

Great reading for the Waiting Rooms or at the Hairdressers.

My wife got hers as a gag shower gift.

Fun to read and send to ex-girlfriends, but the title should be THE OFFICIAL GOLDDIGGER HANDBOOK.
Hostess Gift to Spark Party Conversation - Review written on July 02, 2004

No book can make you much more attractive than you already are, but Doyle's book is a fun read and a great conversation piece.
The shopping, cooking and reading suggestions are informative, along with suggested venues to visit for such purposes as being seen or surveying others.
Well-designed and well-written, with an emerald-cut sparkler on its Tiffany blue cover, How to Marry Money is one of my favorite gifts for sophisticated hostesses.
SHOULD BE A REALITY TV SHOW - Review written on May 19, 2004
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5
4 customers found this review helpful.

Bought this little blue book after hearing the author interviewed on the CHIO IN THE MORNING radio show in Philadelphia.
It's very well written and not the guide to shallow pursuit that I expected.
HOW TO MARRY MONEY is a metaphor for success and the principles would work as blueprints for discovering new freedom in any endeavor.
I hope the author writes it as a script for a reality TV series.
At $12.00, the advice is practically free, as the the best things in life often are.
A PLETHORA OF TIPS AND TACTICS - Review written on May 13, 2004

A pretty little book. The shiny cover with a picture of a big, frosty sparkler (nice touch!) caught my attention in the book store store and I bought it on impulsive response to the emerald-cut diamond.
This little blue book was loads of fun to read and it delivered plenty (I mean PLENTY) of advice on how to move up whatever social ladder you have in mind.

Good show!

Author Kevin Doyle has done it again with his latest blend of instruction and humor.

HOW TO MARRY MONEY is truly a "can't miss read."

The book is as enlightening as it is entertaining and I look forward to giving it as a present for birthdays, graduations and holidays.
