Product Description
Synopsis
If you've ever been single you've probably dated. If you've dated you've probably dated more than once. If you've dated more than once, you have run a very real risk of becoming part of that small but expanding group of people who have had the unfortunate but often entertaining (for their friends) experience of dating a psycho. What constitutes a psycho? How do you know if you've ever dated one? How can you tell if you're dating one right now? And if you are, do you love it? Or want to run away and join the witness protection program? All these questions and more will be answered in this hilarious new book - a collection of true-life horror stories from those heroic daters who have stared relationship-weirdness in the eye and come away with their sense of humour intact.

A book giving accounts of nightmare dating scenarios sounds like entertaining reading matter, both for single people hoping to avoid similar encounters, and smug married people. However, if you are expecting a cosy night in with this book you are likely to be sadly disappointed. For a start the book is seriously lacking in humour. For some reason, Duddridge appears to feel that prefixing every other word with 'psycho'will make the book funny. Perhaps this would work if the target reader was school aged, but somehow I cannot imagine this is the case. The 'psycho' star signs chapter was particularly excrutiating (predictably dull horocopes for PsychoAries, PsychoTaurus, PsychoGemini...I think you get the idea.) However, the chapter that made the most uncomfortable reading was all about 'psycho' illnesses. Within this section, conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, OCD and anxiety are dismissed simply as laughable traits of the 'psycho'. As current statistics estimate that 1 person in every 4 will experience spme sort of mental health problem in their lifetime, there will be very few people reading this book who haven't been affected in some way by the mental health issue of themselves or a friend or relative. For this reason I imagine that this chapter will raise very few laughs and may actually cause some offence. Overall, a terrifyingly dull and predictable book. Don't waste your money buying this book- you'd have a lot more fun going out on a nightmare date!
