Book Reviews of All About Us
Book Review: Warning: This may break up your relationship.
Summary: 2 Stars
My partner and I were given this book from a friend and were hoping it would be a fun, lighthearted way to get to know each other more after years of dating. That, it is not. Every other question seems geared to provoke controversy. It makes me wonder if Philip P Keel is a lonely, bitter man sitting back trying to break up all the happy couples out there. I know what it is like to ask the tough questions in relationship, to have in the open truths about what bothers us about each other or what we would like to see more of, but every next question in the book invokes unnecessary argument around mundane details that are inorganically being shared. I can see why this is going .01 right now.Book Review: There are some things that should be kept private...
Summary: 1 Stars
My husband and I have a wonderful relationship and no problem communicating. We were given this book as a "fun gift" and at first it seemed harmless enough. However, the more I look at is, but more I think that there are questions in here that delve into areas that can potentially really hurt each others' feelings. Why does my husband need to know the reasons i don't like being in the relationship, or who my last sex dream was about, or what the best thing anyone ever did to me sexually was and who did it? i am all for asking new questions and exploring uncharted territory, but i also think not every single detail of one's life needs to be opened up to questioning.Book Review: Excellent then and now!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book helped me & my husband get a better understanding of each other and made us laugh out loud together (because of some of the goofy humorous answers we came up with!)! We did this book 3 years ago together, and then it was put away somewhere. I hadn't seen it since then, when last week I suddenly found it. Intrigued, I pulled it out and shared it with my husband. We had the best night laughing and going, "Oh that's so true still!" It brought us closer than we had been in awhile. I thik it made us stop to focus on our love and relationship & let go of all the daily 'garbage' that everyone stresses over. I would recommend this book to ANY couple!Book Review: All about us, and whatever happened before us...
Summary: 4 Stars
My boyfriend and I are getting more serious and I bought this book because I thought it would be nice to look back on, and leave out on a coffee table. DO NOT leave this book out. Hide it. There is a section titled "before us", I suggest skipping it, who cares anyway? I really like going over this book, It really gets the two of us talking, and yelling, and getting over whatever we got upset about. The funniest question was "does your pet mean more to you than your partner sometimes". Buy this book if you are seriously in love, dont bother otherwise, it will fill you with reasons to break up.Book Review: All About [Crud]
Summary: 1 Stars
My fiance' and I bought this book hoping that it would have a positive influence on our lives...hoping it would open up discussions about our childhood and our personalities. It included too many negative questions that can lead to arguments and hurt feelings even in the most happy/healthy of relationships. This book advertises itself as some kind of relationship builder that is suppose to "deepen our love" but we found ourselves answering too many questions about our exes and each others' shortcomings. We see this book as a mood-killer/evening-spoiler and would not recommend it to anyone.
