8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter : And Other Tips from a Beleaguered Father (Not That Any of Them Work)
Review Date: 1/10/2009


This book was given to my DH as a gift. However, he's not a reader, so I decided not to let a book 'go to waste', so I read it. I don't know if it was b/c this was targetted to males/fathers, but the author's humor ran out on me quite quickly & it became annoying. Maybe a male reader would appreciate this more.

I found this book to be very conservative & the ideals expressed to be antiquated. If you want something more modern w/ a little more candor, I recommend Dr. Kevin Lehman's 'Sheet Music'.

This book was all over the place & difficult to follow. I was about 1/3 of the way thru it when I was finally able to begin piecing together things. It was still very difficult to follow.

it took me a loong time before i got into this book. it seemed like it was written for someone highly intellectual. I guess I needed something a little easier to understand. I was able to gleen a little from this book. wish my husband couldve/wouldve read it though. (he hates to read, he's not here, even if he was he wouldnt read it b/c he thinks im always trying to change him.)

You too will definitely believe Anna Heche is crazy after reading this book. It wasn't bad; I just didn't care for it.

Created to Be His Help Meet: Discover how God Can Make Your Marriage Glorious
Review Date: 11/14/2006
Helpful Score: 2


The author is very "strict" for lack of a better term, straight forward and real. Oftentimes I got a bit lost in her scripture explanations but better related to actual stories/emails/letters. I liked it in the beginning but by the end I was very overwhelmed and felt like I didnt measure up to this woman's standards at all and felt I was somehow failing as a wife and mother. I have heard good reviews from this book and her many "fans' are a testament that her methods do work. This is just my opinion.
