Customer Reviews

Oh, you are a dear, Kosarin

I think this is the second book I have by Kosarin. This one made me laugh my self silly on a rather awful day. Nothing like pining over a man for years, wondering what is wrong with myself and then finding out that he was a Kevin Federline anyway. When I finally bought the book, I went through my entire collection of astrology charts to read about all the men in my life, past and present. This book really hit it on the head, in quite a refreshing, hilarious way. Extremely insightful. Buy it if you love astrology. Buy it because of men. Buy it for yourself. Buy it because The title is so much more inviting than, "He's Just Not That Into You." Maybe he's just a jerk that you cannot astrologically put up with and be sane.

Funny, incredibly written, and dead-on true

Prior to reading this book I didn't know much about astrology, but it was one of the BEST BOOKS I'VE EVER READ. Like most guys, I went to the section that described me based on my sign, and I felt like I was reading my autobiography! Kosarin is a phenomenal writer and her pop culture references are hilarious, but ultimately, what makes this book so great is that it's ACCURATE. I can't see how anyone interested in love, astrology, dating, or human nature, could go without reading this book.

Can't wait for the sequel...

Great little book; spot-on depiction of my previous loves. Of course, there's only a page for each combination, so it isn't going to be the definitive statement on any guy. Still, I can't wait for the sequel that reveals the ladies the same way. Would that be our Sun/Mars profiles?

Infectiously Entertaining

This should be required reading for women! The author is truly "in the know" -- wonderfully capturing the reader while tip-toeing along the proverbial fence of insightfully informative and humorously enchanting. The celebrity aspect in engaging, but one's own astrological chapters are utterly captivating. Great use of 'celebrity" quotes - not often does one come across Voltaire, Thoreau, Woody Allen, Redd Foxx, OJ Simpson, John Lennon and Steve Martin within the same pages. I'm dizzy thinking about how many of these books I'll be passing out to those "in need."

We Are All Made Of Stars....

Kudos to Kosarin for sharing her cosmic musings on the seemingly impenetrable male psyche with tongue-in-cheek (no pun intended). As Americans, male and female alike, comprise the most entertained and least informed culture on the planet, the author's celebrity sleuthing emerges as the perfect populist remedy for women who just can't figure out dudes. He's Just Not In The Stars...is essentially an easy-to-use reference book for beleaguered babes with biological alarms ringing off the hook. Though methinks Kosarin paints life in the trenches of love far more complicated than it really is (men are simple - and the majority of us can detect women seeking sperm and a wallet in a nanosecond), her observations are mostly accurate and her compendium of superstar quotes is downright insightful. The only blurb I would have added from the roster of the rich and famous is credited to the much maligned Rod Stewart who said it best " the next time I feel the need to get married, I'm going find I woman I don't like and just give her a house...."
