Customer Reviews

FUNNY STUFF. PERIOD. The only negative reviews are from teachers.

I stumbled across this author's media reel on YouTube and thought he was pretty interesting so I bought this book to check it out. Some of the material is a little dated because it was written in the late 90's before Blackberries revolutionised the art of cheating, but overall this book is really funny. He goes off on some ridiculous comedy tangets about the anthropological roots of cheating by cavemen and other silly topics like that, but the drawings and diagrams are the funniest parts... like how to make a T that looks like an F for true or false tests, or how to fake a yawn while pulling your cheat-sheet out... stuff like that. It's kind of in the "so ridiculous that it's funny" category. Having read the book now, I couldn't understand the two negative reviews on here that I'd read before I bought it. Well... I guess I can understand when they say the book mostly covers stuff that most cheaters already know, but it's all done in such a funny way so how could they say it's not funny?!? If nothing else, this writer and his writing style is VERY funny. So then I just clicked on the bio of the negative reviewer and guess what? It's a teacher! Duh! Now it all makes sense! Hahahaha. (I couldn't click on the other guy's but I'd bet anything he's a teacher too.). Whatever the case, I highly recommend this book for it's comedy.

A Naughty Students Dream

As a high school student, I picked this up for a gift for my friend. I began reading it and I was hooked. I have read this book three times it gets better each time. The best part of this book is how the author tells you the things that can go wrong. The real treat is this book is written by a cheater.

Surprisingly clever and entertaining for readers of all ages

Although I successfully applied "education assistance" (okay, cheating) techniques of my own while in school, I wish I had read this back in the peechee days. Just like the few admirable professors/teachers who inspired you to listen and learn the subjects they tought, Corbett's writing keeps your undivided attention with comical hooks and a style that befriends you throughout the book. It's obvious how he was so successful at his craft - I may have even let him peek off my scantron.

Ethics are no longer viable in modern society; Cheat To Beat

Mr. Corbett's ineffable style will leave you rolling in laughter every page. Not only is it a gutbuster, but contains legitmate and innovative cheating techniques; even if your already a pro, Bob has something to teach you. The excessively pedantic nature of American Universities actually forces smart, realistic and practical people to cheat. No matter the class, few college courses teach you anything that can be applied in the real world. What college does do however, is teaches you how to think for yourself. What better training and education than fooling the teacher with innovation. It doesn't matter how you get the job done, it only matters that you get the job done. People who don't cheat often cite ethics as the primary reason, bull, their scared of getting caught! If you have the brains to pull off a major cheating scam, you are better prepared for life than if you memorize some philosophy of a 19th century.

Funniest book I've ever read

This is the funniest book I've ever read. Beyond categorizing countless inventive ways to cheat, the author hilariously recounts every dreadful moment of sitting through classes, and he rips on every kind of student there is, from nerds to "slapdicks" to the self-proclaimed "cool" people. I'm going to permanently leave this book in my bathroom for a guaranteed laugh whenever I'm on the can.
