Then something happened. At the bus stop, in class, at work, and even on the train, everyone was reading this book! So I swallowed my pride and bought it, I mean, we they all couldn’t be desperate. Surprisingly enough, even though it isn’t as juicy as a Záne book, it’s still one of the best reads I’ve had in a while.

With chapters called “Men Respect Standards-Get Some” and “Sports-Fish vs. Keepers,” Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man manages to maintain the humor you would expect from Harvey without turning the entire book, and your love life, into a joke.

It’s broken down just the way men think, very simply, which makes it a quick and easy read (I finished in two train rides). There were a lot of “duh” moments and common sense things you should’ve known, but needed to be written in a NY Times Bestselling book, before you would believe.

Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man has a serious side as well. Harvey seems genuinely interested in enlightening women on how to increase their own self-value, and in turn the value that men will place on them. He also gives all of the signs that we should be looking for to know whether we found a guy that wants to get serious, or one that is just playing with us. His Ninety-Day Plan may be a little over-ambitious for some, but his advice on everything else seems to be reasonable and helpful.

I give this book an A. It’s not an award worthy book, but for a self-help book I would definitely recommend it to ALL women- single, dating, married, or otherwise.
