The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing
I got this book for my birthday. From the title it sounded like an intresting book, but it was not my type of book. It’s about this girl named Jane and her love life. She never seems to find the right guy. She gets discouraged and reads a self-help book. She tries out it ideas and finds it is better to be her self. I did not like this book because Jane sleeps around. If you liked this book then good for you, but it wasn’t for me. I suggest this book to adults only!

I ordered “The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing” on 8/10/08 as it was selected as a fun read for my book club. I never arrived. I did e-mail the sender after several weeks but did not hear back. Correspondance from them after my second e-mail stated they did not receive any message from me. Hard to understand as I did not get notice that my e-mail didn’t go through.
I had to purchase the book from B&N.

This book was so dumb and a complete waste of my time. There are way too many phenominal books out there to bore your mind with this nonsense.

If it’s a short-story collection, why does the blurb on the back cover say otherwise? The back cover describes the book as such “The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing maps the progress of Jane Rosenal as she sets out on a personal and spirited expedition through the perilous terrain of sex, love, and relations, and the treacherous waters of the workplace.” NOWHERE is it mentioned that this is supposed to be a collection of short stories, not a novel. WHY NOW? It’s not fair to get a reader to like a character and then just end her involvement completely, with no warning! Neither does any of the information on Amazon’s site say that this is a collection of short stories. False advertising – I want my money back!

I bought this book for my vacation, and I am glad I finished it before I even left (it would have just ruined the lovely vacation I am expecting). The characters in the book are not that great. There is an attemp at humor, but I found it to be only an attemp. The storiline is pretty bad – it is a story about an unhappy girl with a suger daddy who is an alcoholic, whose father dies, then this guys she is dating doesn’t work out because he just doesn’t get it, then she gets cancer and nobody loves her, so she decided to follow a “guide to fishing and hunting” which screems – games from high school – to find out the boy she wants to “catch” likes her the way she is, without hints from the guide. Come on! If this is intended for women in their late 20s, early 30s I hope most of them are over “game” plays. We don’t really need to be told not to play them in order to get to true love. All in all, one of the worst books I’ve read – the only reason I finished is because I couldn’t sleep, and it was an easy read for 3am. And don’t be fulled by the begining – it gets worse and worse with every chapter.
