by Hazel Dixon-Cooper

Book Overview

It's time to forget those traditional astrology books where Sagittarians are gregarious, Capricorns are ambitious, and Pisceans are dreamers. Instead, enter a world where...

Customer Reviews

Eerily and hilariously accurate.

Got this book for entertainment purposes as I loosely follow astrology. Turned out to be more than I anticipated! While reading each of my family members signs, I couldn't help but giggle at the accuracies.

Great book and I laughed all the way through it.

This book not only makes you laugh out loud but also brings to light the truth about our signs. I read my boyfriend's and it was right on the money. I read mine and my goodness I've been exposed. LOL This is a fun book. I highly recommend it.

Living by the lower octave......

This is a wonderful, truthful "Eye of God" look into the 12 Astrological signs with a great sense of humor attached to it. As an Astrologer myself, I often secretly cringe when someone tells me their sign.....Although I want to assume they live from the higher octave of that sign, I know that most people do not and it usually seems to play out just as Hazel describes. There is great fun in reading this book and I enjoyed it thoroughly. But what comes through also, is that the peculiarities of each sign is what gives us a world of excitement and interest. If everyone were perfect, it would not be half as much fun...This makes a wonderful stocking stuffer or gift to anyone who has to deal with others or would just like to figure them out. We all need a bird's eye view once in a while and especially, to look at ourselves without the rose colored glasses!!!

A Great Birthday Present. Laugh-out Loud Funny.

I picked up this book on a whim and don't regret it for one minute. Of course, I turned to my sun sign first, and burst out laughing, especially when the author compared a female Scorpio scorned to being "like Lady MacBeth on crack." The entire book is full of original and very funny cracks just like that. (Pun intended). Hazel Dixon-Cooper, a professional astrologer, uses the one-minute-manager approach to her sun sign descriptions. She starts out kind (read positive traits and features), and then let's you have it, right in the gut. It's a refreshing change from all the sugar-coated material already out there. Reading aloud from this book has so far, proved to be a very entertaining party favor, particularly if you enjoy self-deprecating humor. "Born on a Rotten Day," let's you laugh at yourself, and better yet, others. Highly recommend. Michele Cozzens, Author of A Line Between Friends and The Things I Wish I'd Said.]

The Truth is Out There

Astrology books are normally not read cover to cover, but in starts and stops according to the signs of spouses, friends, family, co-workers and acquaintences. The reader of Born on a Rotten Day will be telling everyone that someone finally got it right.All, of course, except for the reader's sign, which must be fiction. Yeah, right.Born on a Rotten Day is falling down funny, and if tears don't come to your eyes, no matter whose sign you are reading, you haven't been paying attention. In the vein that truth is always funnier than fiction, this book is genuinely hilarious.Buy it, read it, tell everyone you know about it. You won't be disappointed.
