Book Reviews of Getting to 'I Do'
Book Review: I don't buy it
Summary: 1 Stars
THis book was lent to me by a woman I was dating, interestigly enough until just recently, although I suspect we will remain friends.
I read this book in the hopes that it would bring insight on how to meet the woman of my dreams or love of my life. That special someone... I think you know what I am talking about. I have never written a review about a book before and have never felt as compelled to share how much I did not like this book. Much of how I felt goes along the lines of what other reviewers wrote (The single Stars that is).
I truly believe that relationships are about negotiation and a mesh of differing styles and approaches to your partner,life and its problems. I also know about the subtle use of manipulation to get what you want(I was an adolescent Drug Treatment counselor for 7 years)--- This book had me feeling very angry and feeling like I don't want to be involved with someone who ascribes to some of the main suggestions in this book.
As a man interested in doing "the right thing" finding that special person-- I would absolutely not recommend this book. The book says things that seem practicle and are commonly accepted types of things but then follows up with a twisted and convoluted approach to relationships.
So in closing Guys-- Stay away.. There is another review that suggest some books and I am going to check them out.
To women: I wish you the best in finding that man of your dreams, but there has got to be some better choices for advice on relationships.
Book Review: I loved Dr. Pat Allen's "Getting to 'I Do'"

Summary: 5 Stars
Bob Grant's book, "Women Men Adore and Never Want to Leave" was an excellent ebook and it referenced "Getting To I Do" a lot. This book gives detailed descriptions about relationship phases and how to best handle and overcome problems that arise not just between couples, but more importantly within ourselves. Issues and insecurities that we carry with us as individuals that may prevent us from enjoying a fulfilling life-long relationship. What I appreciate about this book is that it addresses a variety of different types of relationships, everything from the more assertive woman and more passive man to the traditional more passive feeling woman and more assertive man. She does a good job of including a variety of relationship dynamics. I enjoyed the book very much and will use it as a reference and recommend it to others!Book Review: I see pat allen every week in O>C>
