review 1: I don't even know where to begin. I would NEVER give this book to an impressionable teenager.Why do I hate it??Examples: "A lady keeps her legs shaven when shes wearing a skirt. And if you're one of those hippies who thinks shaving is yet another clever way males have of subjugating women through the ages, you shouldn't be wearing a short skirt anyway (miniskirts are just another tool of the patriarchy, right?). " Wow, majorily dissing on feminism here. And telling a lady she has to shave is impolite. Apparently, there are only 4 different combos of complections......"So just remember the next time you want to be fashionably late: You're a selfish tramp who just wants attention! And there's nothing fashionable about that."I think he is trying to be funny in the above, but.... more...not funny. He spends a lot of time calling the reader a tramp and a skank too. Another, suggestion the author makes: If you are backpacking (aka hiking in the wilderness and carrying all your gear on your back) you should pack a set of heels and a cocktail dress cause you might need it......Are you kidding me?????"Every girl needs a GBF, just like she needs a pair of sunglasses and jeans that make her look 10 pounds lighter" Are gay people accessories now????All and all the advice in this book is mostly garbage.This guy claims that he knows how classy people act, but as far as I can tell he has no clue. Classy people do not call people tramps and skanks and make "witty" comments about how if you have sex with a lot of people you should make sure you get paid for it. Classy people do not name drop all over the place making sure you know that his friends are supermodels and celebrities. This author seems like the type of person who bad mouths others behind their back and that isn't classy at all.
review 2: This book is AMAZING. I would recommend this book for teens who are ages 14 and up. The book is serious when it needs to be and hilarious when it HAS to be. :) I love the advice on how hold chopsticks (because I do not know!) and the different dinner ware. The comparison (of photos) in each chapter between a Classy Lady V.S. a Tramp This book should be like a "Girl-hood gift" to all teenagers! :D less
