Title: Moderately amusing
Review: Sophomoric send-up of "The Rules" in the style of National Lampoon. "The Rules" richly deserved a good send-up for its codification of double standards, manipulation, misrepresentation, and man-trapping. This isn't it.The first few chapters are fairly amusing if you've got nothing better to do, but the humor becomes more contrived as you read on. Then it uses highbrow words while trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator, sometimes leaving the reader wondering WHAT their actual joke/point was. Nate and Lawrence are to be lauded for their efforts, but fell short of their noble goal."The Rules" was actually funnier - read it with an inquiring mind, then imagine the sort of unimaginative, artificial, incapable-of-independent-thought woman that believes every word it says.
