Summary: huge compilation of quotes...and stereotypes
Comment: As Gertrude Stein once said of Oakland, "There's no 'there' there."
OK, so I couldn't resist starting off with a quote. It's not often that I feel I completely wasted my money and time on a book -- I'm typically fairly selective in picking out books, and then good about finding their best qualities. So you'll have to forgive my complete lapse of judgement this time.
The long and short of it is that the author dishes out every tired, old stereotype about dealing with the opposite sex. He even admits it, while trying to point out that they have a basis in fact. Except that he doesn't even do much of a job of digging once he lists them.
You also get the feeling that his intended audience is somewhere in the 13-15 year old range.
A further annoyance is that a substantial portion of the book winds up devoted to patting himself on his back for his cleverness in the men are like fish metaphor.
So in the end I can only say that this book is a complete waste of time. I can't really even recommend any better books. Books in this genre are pretty much a waste of time. In the end, our culture's frantic obsessions with finding and pairing up with people is so fundamentally flawed that there's really not much that can be done about it.
You want a really good read, try Stephanie Dowbrick's Intimacy and Solitude in order to even start thinking about what you need from yourself before you can have a successful relationship with anyone else.

Summary: Finally Some Insight Into The Male Psyche!
Comment: And answers to all those questions no one before has been able to tell you on the unpredictable behaviour of the male species!
This book is brilliant. Whether you're single woman or hoping to rekindle some romance in your life, this book is a must for you! Steve Nakamoto's ingenius and wonderful metaphor of "Men Are Like Fish" is not only fun, inspiring and hopeful, but also naughtily and systematically correct.
This is one of the best books on the dating game I have read. It's delightful to read and has given me some fresh hope. When men try to find out what women want, all they have to do is simply ask. We women talk so much they can find out all they need to know about us. Even men themselves can't directly state what they want. That is just one of the reasons I find the book so helpful. It explains the nature of the mysterious male species, and how and why they react. I also find it helpful to read such a book written by a man. After all, we need to find out what they are thinking!
It's encouraged me to seek more and better "fishing holes" other than a bar or nightclub. It's given me fresh hope, on how to set my best bait to catch the fish, hook, line and sinker!!
And oftentimes when I am successful in the sport, I feel guilty for snaring such a catch. It is a relief to discover men secretly long to be caught, and they cannot or will not resist tempting and lively bait! It is in their very nature to be caught in the security and comfort of our nets!
"Men Are Like Fish" is written exceptionally well, witty, informative, helpful. The quotations and illustrations throughout makes this book even more interesting. It helped to bring out the best in me, and brought more fun in my life. Instead of being angry with men, I've managed to laugh at the dating game and not take it so seriously.
So what are you waiting for girls? Go and get the guidebook that will help you through life and land a great catch in the process!
And remember all you fisherwomen out there, angry anglers catch no fish!

Summary: Fish Can Learn From this Book Too!!!!
Comment: "Men are Like Fish" is not just for women..."fish" (men) can learn how to use the instructions in this fun-filled manual to become the big fish in a woman's life. Many topics are just as critical for men to learn as women, such as "Why women don't call back" (you were rude to a food server, had too outrageous a character, got angry or pushy in public.) The "Bait Self-Quiz" could easily be taken by men, who could benefit by asking themselves ,"How physically appealing am I to women? How well do I capture women's attention? How much respect do I command?"
A valuable dating tool for women and men, "Men are Like Fish" is packed with solid advice, intriguing anectdotes and humorous quotes.
