A decent follow up

What did you like best about I Suck at Girls? What did you like least?

The performance is great. Love the "voice" of Dad.

Could you see I Suck at Girls being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

no

Any additional comments?

The first book was great. While this one had some laugh out loud moments it wasn't quite as good. Nevertheless glad I "read" it.

Not as good as the first

What did you like best about I Suck at Girls? What did you like least?

I Suck at Girls had great moments but it wasn't the laugh out loud, side hurting entertainment that the first book was. I thought the narration was perfect.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No.

Funny

It was most funny when his dad spoke, the story itself was alright, in my opinion.

Amazing

Found myself laughing out loud listening to this book. A story that attracts the attention. Loved it

Okay "sequel" to SMDS

I thoroughly enjoyed Halpern's first book as well as Sean Schemmel's performance. Of course, Halpern's infamous father appears in this book as well, but now in much much more of a supporting role to the narrator.

Schemmel still does a pretty good job of bringing life to the stories, though I do remember him making every female character sound like a stereotypical "dumb girl." Though, maybe those are the only kinds of girls Halpern has any real interaction with? Eh.

I found myself not being able to keep my attention during a lot of the anecdotes, which I found to be filled with "more of the same". And I don't even mean the same stuff from Halpern's first book. No, no, but more of the same in terms of vaguely entertaining stories of Halpern hooking up with hot co-workers who inexplicably dump him and all seem to disappear. Watching a teen movie will deliver the same punch-lines, but Halpern's book at least is a little bit more mature. I suppose the title is pretty damn accurate, so in that case... it delivers!

it's a nice light read if you want to chuckle inside, a little bit, and get a self esteem boost if you're feeling like you too have troubles with the opposite sex. But, don't get the wrong impression, Halpern gets plenty. Though, the book only gets 3.
