Book Reviews of I Can't Believe I'm Still Single: Sane, Slightly Neurotic (but in a Sane Way) Filmmaker into Good Yoga, Bad Reality TV, Too Much Chocolate, and a Little ... Point Anyone Who'll Let Me Watch FootballBook Review: Psychotic. Summary: 1 StarsThis is the most egotistical, narcissistic, self-obsessed person I have ever encountered. I couldn't finish the book, but it is like a train wreck, hard to look away. Hey Eric-- I KNOW WHY YOU ARE STILL SINGLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Book Review: amazing book Summary: 5 StarsSelf-absorbed? Any memoir or autobiography has to be self-absorbed when the writer is talking about him or herself. This was an amazing book, not only hysterically funny, but kind and honest. Unlike lots of other memoir writers, Schaeffer doesn't use self-deprecating humor in order to get the reader to like him. He's honest and it's refreshing to hear a male-perspective on dating. But the book isn't just about sex and dating, it's about looking for what you want while still trying to be a kind human being even though you know you're flawed. It's about taking your experiences and everything that has made you sad and turning them into something positive and full of life and love. Many people will identify with him because he says the things that people are too afraid to say. Everyone must read this.
Book Review: Painful reading... Summary: 1 StarsThe book is just as verbosely self-absorbed as the title would lead you to believe. The author tries to come across as witty, urbane and self-deprecating, but winds up revealing WAY too much about his neuroses, his addictions and his deep and barely concealed misogyny. I can't remember the last time I read a book where the author came across as so deeply unlikeable and yet at the same time completely unaware of how unsavory he seems.
Not worth the time it takes to read it and definitely not worth the money the publisher seems to think this deserves.
Book Review: I can believe it (most perfect tag ever) Summary: 1 StarsThe women-haters club bible for lonely, aging singles that believe a life full of rejection from women is either amazingly horrible bad luck for such amazing, accomplished, funny, smart, attractive, nice yet infinitely demanding men or all women are just messed up. Gasp. I mean when you bait a woman to make a molestation joke you were obviously thinking about before she made it SHE must be the one who is messed up..or her disgust at your inane and rude questions on your first date and your ridiculous racial assumptions must mean she's not interesting enough to take care of you and the child you want to make at age 50. When Eric Schaeffer realizes no woman will reproduce with him in 5 years let us all pray he doesn't decide to adopt.
In the end I actually encourage every woman on every dating site interested in middle-aged white men notorious for crappy work and a gargantuan ego that can only be explained by a long-lasting strange mother-son relationship reads this book, stays away from his mat during yoga class and passes it on to their other female friends.
Book Review: A legend in his own mind. Summary: 1 StarsI know why you're still single, Mr. Schaeffer -- I was forced to sit through one or two of your films. Really, do we need another "self-help" book that is really thinly-veiled self-aggrandizement, not to mention an exercise in misogyny? For the good of womankind, I hope this man *stays* single.
