Book Review I-He's just not that into you:The no-excuses truth to understanding guys

So,my sister gave me this book called "He's just not that into you:The no-excuses truth to understanding guys" two days ago.

The way she placed the book on my table with the smirk on her face,I knew what she was trying to send across.

"Your ex-boyfriend was just not that into you!"

Plus,for the past few months,she was telling me,occassionally,how I was just an Asian girl he happens to date and how he's not that into me and all those sorts of kind-of-negative messages.

I,seriously,do not know why.

Was it because she cares so much bout me that she doesn't want me to get hurt?

Maybe..I don't know..I have to be truthful and say that,it didn't really feel like it though...

I didn't try to explain myself much nor did I try telling her about our story and all because I just think it's unnecessary,especially if the person had already made an assumption about the situation and couldn't be bothered to listen further.

Anyways,back to the book.

Well,since I'm on holiday right now,and I just think that this book is plain cruel (will try to explain why it's cruel at the end,if I remember~),so I thought I should give it a try and write a review bout it while I progress through it.

Ok..First off,to make this book sounds more..erm..worth while (?),it was written by a writer and a consultant of "Sex and the City".

Yes..The very original "Sex and the City".

So,whoever watched the series would know that that series was is a big hit.It still is.

After 6 seasons of non-stop sex and love issues,it never fails to capture the attention of its audiences.

I've never really read the original book,but judging on the series,I think I'm making a rather safe assumption that it's a good book,everyone agree on that?

Another plus to that is Oprah Winfrey gave the book this review,"Six words to change your life for ever...This book should be on every single woman's nightstand!"

This book surely has a lot credits given.

Alrighty..Let's get started with the review.

(P.s I haven't read through the whole thing so I'm gonna do this chapter by chapter.)

Chapter 1:He's just not that into you if he's not asking you out

Well,the title itself is pretty self-explanatory.

The authors (a man and a woman,by the way) emphasized on this one point:"Guys aren't as complicated as girls.If they see something they like,they will go for it no matter what."

Up to this point,I'm still in mutual agreement with the authors.

Even the shyest guy would try to make a move and show some hints,right?At least that's what I think.I don't really have any friends I know of who is shy to the point that he wanted to keep everything to himself and not make a move at all.

But here's the thing.

This book is heavily based on what American people think about the Americans they've dated. (Yes..that was a rather risky assumption to make.)

We can't really indulge all of those without taking culture perspective into account.Nor is it rational for us to try to generalise every single male figures with the same stereotype,it's unfair.

Even though I do agree to some extend to the point made,it is still important to realise the differences between my culture believes and those of the authors'.

All in all,this book review is looking kind of crappy so far providing that I just read the first chapter,only once.Haha!My apologies.

One thing I'll try to bear in mind is that,this book will only be a pure entertainment for the time being

Though some points are worth taking into consideration,I still don't think I'd agree 100% to all the content nor would I treat it as a bible to guide me through my 'possible-future-relationship'.

Don't get me wrong,it's not that I don't respect the authors and all,I do.Just that,even though they're people who are 100 times way smarter than I am,we are still,afterall,seperate individuals with seperate patterns of living.

Well,this is kind of crap.

Hopefully that I'll have something more productive and more worth your time next time.

Til then,sorry~ =P

I'm no natural born writer materials so bear with me lar~
