Customer Reviews

Funny - Even from a male perspective!

My wife brought this book home the other day and I just had to read a few pages. It had me chuckling for a good hour. I even had to do a gut check on a few of the pages and ask myself if they were describing me. An entertaining and funny book. By the way, I read some of the reviews. What's up in Canton OH. Sounds like a bunch of people got together to bash the authors. Lose the attitude! Your reviews have nothing to do with the book and everything to do with your dislike of somebody. Grow up and get a funny bone!

Humor--the Last Laugh

I just purchased a copy of "Disenchanted Evenings" from Borders Books in Akron,OH and was privileged to have the book signed by the two gregarious authors, who were there on location doing a book signing. Ms. Ewing, my former teacher, and Ms. Sude have written a humorous account which goes way beyond the literal foibles and eccentricities of men as articulated in this well-done survival guide; they have used humor as an antidote to the pain which sometimes one feels after a loss--whether it be the loss of a parent, a job, a spouse, or any serious relationship. The authors are also generously donating a portion of their royalties to help the Domestic Violence Project in Stark County, Ohio, and they have spoken before innumerable women's groups about "life choices." Ms. Ewing, a prolific language arts teacher in her own right, was President of the Junior League of Canton about 5 years ago and this year was named "Educator of the Year" by Phi Delta Kappa, an education honorary. She is a community-minded individual and is well-respected by her students. She changed my life around! When I had her in class, I learned so much about language arts, but, more importantly, she taught me about life! She believed in me when no one else could or would! This book is a light-hearted and humorous account of some of the foibles that a person experiences when dealing with the opposite sex; anyone (especially some of the reviewers) who cannot see the humor in these pages must indeed lead a very depressing life! When I have kids, I pray that Ms. Ewing will still be teaching! She is a warm, caring teacher with a big heart!

A reminder to laugh

Great entertainment for today's woman! This book was obviously written by 2 women who have not only been through the perils of dating, but came out the other end with the ability to laugh at both sexes and life. I found the book entertaining and insightful. Even the men concede to several of the "truths" found in "A Peek Inside the Good Old Boys Clubs." You know who sounds bitter? Some of these reviewers who have forgotten how to laugh. My condolences girls. You must be married to one of those frogs!

We're all in the same boat!

How comforting to know we are all in the same boat and not alone with a frog! So what can we do but laugh about it, since they are from Mars and we are from Venus. This book is so cute and I think we can all see ourselves in these pages. The authors have successfully inspired us to take them with a grain of salt and learn from our mistakes. Eventually that "prince" just might come along!

This book is a "Must Have"

I just finished reading "Disenchanted Evenings," byr Barb Ewing and Maria Suede! When I decided to buy it for my friend, I was just going to flip through it and look at just a few passages--well an hour later, when I got finished reading the ENTIRE book, I had to go out and buy one for myself! I couldnt put this awesome and hilarious book down! Not only is this book, soul filling,utterly hilarious, but unfortunately--TRUE! My very favorite chapters were "Warning Labels and Survival Tips", and "Hope for the Future!" I cant beleive that these two women actually put together this amazing book that is so very true and nothing at all is left out. Every woman (and man) should get a copy of this book to experiance a great great laugh!
