Book Reviews of He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys

This is a really good, really honest look at men and relationships. It tells women to stop wasting time on men that don't appreciate them. It boosts the self-esteem of anyone who reads it, and the writers speak from their own experience, not from a psychological point of view.

I really wanted to read this after seeing him on Oprah... a year later it was a let down pretty much chapter after chapter of the same thing. That was probably the point, sometimes guys aren't into you get over it and move on. There aren't 100 explanations or ways to analyze their behavior it just made for a redundant read. It is a great book to give to someone who just can't get it through their head that sometimes he's just not that into you!

I wish I had this book when I was younger and dating!

Not a book for me. It felt repetitive and at times too silly to even be funny. The phrase "He's just not that into you" can become very annoying after the first few chapters. However it is a fun read with all the little letters written for advice and his funny (or supposed to be funny) responses to them. Probably something fun to read with a friend so you can laugh at the situation and possibly even the advise.

A great book that explains why you don't have to try to figure out every male you come into contact with.

This book is fantastic...I wish I could have read it as a teenager when I REALLY needed it!

Fun book to read in your 40's when you NOW get it!

This is a great book - really helped me let go of a guy who dumped me.

Great book to read when you wonder if someone is really into you or not~

An amazing book that will help you get over that guy in your life that you keep making excuses for! It helped me. & it helped boost up my self-esteem. :]

Unlike annoying self help books that throw jargon, sappy rhetoric, and uselss mumbo jumbo/ pity parties, this author uses humor and real life examples (letters from readers/individuals) to prove his point. It may be a little redundant at times, but for the girl in denial, sometimes redundant is what is necessary. While you won't find any deep psychological explanations or the answers to love, you will get a laugh, and you will learn if "he's just not into you".

I was in a relationship with a seemingly great "poor me" type of guy who wouldn't say the "L" word because his heart had been broken. So a friend gave me this book and of course there is a chapter in there about guys who can't say the L word...."BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST NOT INTO YOU", it hit home and was pretty precise. I kicked myself in the butt and then kicked his out the door :).

The book features funny stories about other girls with relationship issues who are just making excuses for the guy and in denial about things, and how the right guy is out there but you won't find him if your still wasting time on the wrong one. All in all this is a great book to subtly give to your girlfriends and daughters in bad relationships. It is so funny, that a friend won't stay mad for long :)

Read this book! Pass it around to your friends! This is honestly what every woman needs to hear. I think we've all been in that dating situation or relationship that left us wondering if we really ought to hang on. Greg Behrendt tells it to ya straight-- if you're continually stuck making excuses for his inability to make you happy and meet your needs, he's just not that into you!

Every single man needs this book. It helped me sort through the losers and find my husband! It is such a funny read, I love Greg Behrendt's writing.

Every single woman should read this and The Rules. I'm not saying that you should follow The Rules 100%, but between the 2 of them, you are a lot less likely to expend too much energy on the wrong guy.

A funny,witty book about relationships between men and women. The author will be appearing on his own guest show in 2 wks. A former consultant on the show Sex and the City.

I found this book pretty funny. I liked the way it was written, but it was also extremely helpful and honest. It was exactly what it said it is--The truth about guys.

If you need some hard core reality, read it!

Great book. A MUST For all young dating women.

This book is a good read for the girl who isn't sure she's found the right guy. I think it's highly amusing!

Excellent book - I can't recommend it enough!

The book does make some decent points and clearly it is attemping to be empowering...but eh. Absolutely nothing in the book was mind-blowing, Earth-rattling news. I read the first few chapters, and skimmed the rest. He's just not that into you? Well, I'm just not that into this book.

(To be fair, I am in a healthy relationship, even by the book's standards, so perhaps I would be more amused by this if I was single.)

I thought this book was funny! Even though most of the scenerios layed out in the book could be solved by applying common sense, it was a hilarious quick read. There were a few scenerios I read and said to myself "hmmm that was the same excuse I used for so-and-so...". Get this book if for no other reason than to re-affirm that you are a worthwhile female that deserves a real relationship that can go somewhere, or just get it to have a funny, laugh-out-loud read...Sex in the City fans will appreciate!

Very funny! If I am ever having a down day, I pick this book up because the responses to certain questions are so bold and honest. It makes you realize the truth behind excuses and lies, and how we have all fallen for them at least once in our lives! A fun read.

I think they speak truth in this book!

Not as funny as Greg Behrendt's stand-up comedy, but a good read nonetheless.

Repetitious but fun. Two people who worked on _Sex and the City_ encourage readers to forget about the guys who aren't up to par (because they don't call when they say they will, because they're married, because they're mean or petty or lazy) in order to be available to the guys who do things right.

This book tells you how to stop kidding yourself and get on with your life.

So eye opening! I have a friend that is going through this very thing right now and I want her to read this book so much!! I wish I had known all this stuff about ten years ago. Made me realize what is going on in a few of my "relationships" with a few guys in my life! Every girl needs to read this book!

This book is so right on and true. It helped me from getting in the same trap that I put myself into and "think" that "maybe" it will work out and that I was not knowing his signals. What a life and heart saver this book is.

Hilarious and oh-so-true. This book should be required reading for teenage girls. These are lessons they can avoid learning the hard way. I loved it.

wish I would have read this years ago, great book very informative

I was just not into this book.... after the first chapter, you kinda get the point. Yet it continues. It's cute but it's not great..

This book was awesome, filled with facts that really teach you why you shouldnt cling to the wrong guy and why its important to be on the lookout for the right one!!
I found this to be excellent because it was so true to life. Can't wait to see movie that will be based on this book.

a great book to give to your friend (we all have at least one) that just plain doesn't get it...

Great book for girls who are hanging on to a guy thinking he will change. They dont. They are who they are and if it isnt what YOU want look elsewhere. Seriously.

Great, blunt insight! Really helps when trying hard to get over 'mr. wrong', especially since its 1/2 written by a guy!

This book was seen on the Oprah show. The author Greg has his own talk show now. It's a very good book and some girls really need to read it. It's simple to read and understand and really is pretty straight forward.

Self-help book for women!

Good book. Says the truth without being too rude or hurtful. Kind of like advice from a close older brother.

This book will help change your perspective on dating and relationships . . . don't settle for a guy who just isn't that into you! A must-read for any frustrated single or conflicted girlfriend.

It was fun reading but I thought alot of the things in this book are things that we should already know.

I really believe in the ideas expressed in this book. I don't think I could have accepted them a few years ago, but now (having been burned several times) it totally makes sense. I hope I can make use of it the next time I'm in a not-good relationship.

Full of good advice about boys that chicks just don't want to hear. Read it and stop making excuses for losers!

simple, honest, pretty funny

The 'Sex and the City' episode this is based on is more entertaining than the book. I know several girls that would benefit from it, but since the majority of my close friends are male I didn't learn anything new.

I didn't get a chance to read this book. I was going to give it to a friend, but it turned out she didn't need it.

I didn't really get into this book much. So I can't comment on it because I only scanned it.
