Amazon.co.uk Review
Claiming that the book is backed by sociological studies and that it contains confidential testimony from thousands of people attending her seminars, Lowndes attempts to assure us that this is serious stuff. However, a read through the contents list alone (63 chapters crammed into 300 or so pages with an intro!) will have you chuckling and smiling. In fact the contents list might give you all the tips you need: "What about turning a friend into a lover?2 or "Beauty is as beauty feels", and even "The making of a star: me!"
Given the hazy premise that fear, uncertainty and doubt are at the root of not being liked (Lowndes calls it the FUD factor) and with tips like sprinkling your conversation with "uh huh" when speaking to a woman, it is easy to dismiss this as superficial pap. However, Lowndes does have the gift of the gab, and combined with short sections, plenty of tips and soundbites, this is certainly a quick, easy read. It might even win you a few admirers--if that's what you really want. --Lorna V.

Regardless, the book is excellent to brush up your social skills and is genuinely useful, especially in chapters such as networking and the unique approach that Lowndes recommends at parties. The reader might best be advised however that although the book contains truthes, they aren't all necessarily universal.
However, I think it is unlikely that many people will act quite so emphatically upon the good advice contained within the pages of this book. The reason for this is that a great deal of the ideas put forward, require someone who is a little more outgoing than most, and not so scared of acting differently to others. The reason I see this fault may be simply that the UK doesn't fall into the target audience of the book, which does seem to be mainly aimed at an American reader. There are numerous reasons I think this, America being generally thought of as a less inhibited nation, being just one of them.
There are lots of useful litte tips though, that anyone can use to their advantage. Many seemingly obvious differences between the sexes, are highlighted with the aim of giving both men and women an idea of how to behave differently, in the company of friends of the opposite sex. These kind of tips and many others, give the book a certain level of usefulness whatever kind of person you are.
'How to make anyone like you', is a well written book, that offers enough good advice to make your success in its subject matter, have a good correlation with the amount of effort you put in to making Leil Lowndes' ideas work. Basically, the more you take her ideas on board and incorporate them into your life, the more liked you will end up being.
However, the book makes frequent references to the appendix, in which we are supposed to find activities which will help us. WHERE IS IT?
I was most disappointed, to find there isn't one, as the activities would have been helpful.
