review 1: بداية عنوان الكتاب .. عنصر جذب قوي وهو ما شدني لقراءة الكتاب .. المعادلة الصعبة .. كيف نفكر كالرجال كيف نتعرف على كوامنهم الخفية مع الاحتفاظ والافتخار بانوثتنا كاملة!الكتاب مقسم الي ثلاث اقسام رئيسية .. الاول قسم تعريفي بهذا الكائن .. الرجل ما الذي يجذبه للمرأة ، ما هي متطلباته الاساسية في اي علاقة وما هي مخاوفه؟القسم الثاني قسم تعريفي ببعض المشكلات التي نواجهها معهم .. مثل: الخيانة ، وشخصية الرجل شديد الارتباط بأمه وتصنيفات الرجال �... more�لمرأة ..القسم الثالث وهو الاكثر امتاعا .. هو سبعة فصول يخبرنا فيها الكتاب عن كيف نفوز في اللعبة مع الرجل .. اسماه the playbook اذا قرأتي هذا الكتاب ستجدي ان معظم ما فيه هو معروف لديك مسبقا .. ناقشتيه مرارا وتكرارا مع صديقاتك واخواتك .. بل ان الكثير من النصائح التي عرضها الكاتب لتفوز المرأة بإحترام وحب رجلها ستجدين انك بالفعل تعرفينها حتى وان لم تتحدثي فيها مع احد بشكل مباشر .. ولكن هذا ما نسميه .. فطرة المرأة!!الحاسة التي خلقنا بها والتي تمكننا من انتاج مئات الصفحات من كتب الحيل والالعاب .. الرجل ليس لغز بالنسبة لك .. هو كائن بسيط للغاية كما يؤكد الكاتب مرارا .. انت صاحبة القرار في كل خطوات علاقتك به حتى وان ظن هو خلاف ذلك ! .. اي امرأة تعرف ذك بفطرتها باستثناء الغبيات منهن وهم كثر هذه الايام !اذن ما الاضافة التي اضافها الكاتب هنا؟الاضافة هي "التجميع" و "العرض المرتب" .. من الاشياء التي يفتقدها الكثير من الكتاب هنا هي النظام والترتيب ككل ما يتعلق بمجالات حياتنا المختلفة للاسف .. الكاتب الامريكي شديد التنظيم .. وهو اكثر ما اعجبني في الكتاب .. طريقة تفنيده للامر كما سبق واشرت اليها باختصار سابقا .. بدء من التحدث عن الرجال من موقعه كرجل ثم التحدث عن كيفية التعامل معهم محتلاً موقع النساء او موقع الاب في احيان كثيرة..وهذا يقودني للتحدث عن ثاني اكثر ما اعجبني في الكتاب بعد ترتيبه وطريقة عرضه للفكرة .. وهو النقطة التي ينطلق منها الكاتب في كل مرة .. وهي نقطة احترامه وتقديره للمرأة لا بالعبارات الرنانة والقوافي المسجعة كما نجد هنا في مجتماعتنا ولكن من خلال حرصه الشديد على مصلحتها .. خوفا عليها .. وكأنه يتحدث بالفعل من موقع الاب .. الرجل الناضج الذي مرت عليه تجارب كثيرة جدا بحكم عمله .. الكاتب يؤكد مرارا وتكرارا ان لا تفرطي في مشاعرك .. اهتمامك .. وقتك .. وبالتأكيد the cookie والتي يقصد بها علاقتك الجسدية بهلا تفرطي في كل ذلك قبل ان تتأكدي من جديته وانه يتعامل معك كونك امرأة حياته لا مجرد مغامرة او تجربة .. لانك تستحقين ذلك .. لان كل امراة في العالم تستحق ذلك .. لان شلالات الدموع وقصص القلوب المنكسرة يجب ان تنتهي !واخيرا اعجبني لافتة صغيرة ولكنها اثرت في بشكل كبير .. الا وهي حرص الكاتب على ذكر زوجتة السيدة Marojorie باستمرار والتحدث عن ذكائها ورقيها وبراعتها والاستشهاد بقصة حياتهما معا .. من يملك الجرأة والرُقي الكافي لكي يذكر زوجته وافضالها هكذا امام الجميع بكل فخر وحب؟ .. هو رجل قوي ومحب بالتأكيدالكاتب رائع بحق .. لغته الانجليزية بسيطة .. ورغم انه موجه بالصفة الاولى للمجتمع الامريكي متأثرا بكل ظروفه واوضاعة الاجتماعية الا انه يصلح تماما لكل المجتمعات .. استفدت منه كثيرا .. ملائم تماما بالمرحلة الحياتيه التي امر بها الان :)انصحكم به .
review 2: a) In the novel, “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man,” author Steve Harvey really focuses on the craft of audience when writing this book. It is clear, just by reading the title, that the main audience of this book is women. The author used the writing craft of audience to really reel in women into purchasing this book, offering a “tell all” advice book of the dos and don’ts to relationships and as he frequently references “getting a man.” In the book are chapters that all reference a different topic from “The Mindset of a Man” to “Why Men Cheat” and my all time favorite “Men Respect Standards—Get Some.” This book is broken down so well that one can easily view the table of contents and go right to the chapter that they connect with or question the most. I think that Harvey did a great job on focusing on his audience and really speaking to them in a way in which they can relate, offering them answers to the questions many women on the dating scene have today. The author also used the aspect of audience in the way he broke down different concepts in the book; he made things relatable to the women population and gave them a way in which they could relate to the topics he discusses. b) I think the author’s use of audience in this book was used quite nicely in that he offered information, tips, and advice from a male perspective to the female population; this is something that every girl wants to know when looking for “a man!” At one part in the book, he takes questions that were asked by women on his talk show, and answers them offering his own personal advice and stories of dating his wife. There is an array of information in this book and I think after reading it, any and every women could easily take something away from this book, regardless if they thought it was a good read or not. His audience was women and women are who he referenced during the entire book.c) I think the author did a great job in reaching his target audience in writing this book.d) I could definitely teach a lesson on audience by using this book as a reference (maybe not the content of the novel, but definitely his use of audience). I can show my young writers that by writing a piece with a specific audience in mind, you have the chances of making your plot that much more interesting to that particular group of people. By writing to a specific audience, one has a greater chance of connecting with that geographic of people. While all parts of this story are significant to the writing craft of audience, I can definitely use the question/answer portion of the book to teach a mini lesson to my students. less

Act like A Lady, Think like a Man by Steve Harvey Steve Harvey is A American Actor, Comedian, Television Host, Radio Personality and author. He has written many of books as in Straight Talk, No Chaser , Act like a Success, Think like a Success. He Host two shows, Family Feud and The Steve Harvey show, where he gives out advice to man in women around the world. In the book Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man . Steve talks about many thing lady’s should do to control her love life. He gives insight about how men think and do. He tells lady’s to not give “the cookie” to man before 90 days. A true man will wait. He also says how a man should always open doors for a lady. In the book Steve teaches women how to carry them and not let man take advantage of them because the lady should always respect herself and men should respect her too. Steve wants to see more people falling in love and getting together and not just hooking up. He wants ladies to know how to spot out a real man and not some chum who only wants to get in her pants.I loved this book. It made me think of my past relationship and how the guy were just boys (not just talking about age) It gave great insight how men think and feel about certain things. You honestly can’t do anything to improve a book that is written about men and how they think when it has been written by a man.I would recommend this book to and Lady /Women who is in the dating scene and what more information on men. I would say before you read this book make sure you have a note pad because this book changed my thoughts about men. I never knew a book that got a movie made out of it would really change my mind. This is truly a great book for all women in the dating scene to read.

I enjoyed reading this book. I laughed and learned a lot. However; there were couple of things that I think its confusing, in my opinion. The first confusing thing is when he talked about being sexy to the man. Because a man can see his girl sexy even if she is wearing a t-shirt. She does not need to wear provocatively to get his attention. The second confusing thing is when he discussed that she does something that makes the man uncomfortable, she needs to stop doing those things, but then he discussed that its okay to do them but less than before. In my opinion, both sides should be doing what the other love doing. That will keep the couple connected and in each others paste.Other than those confusing parts, I agree with the writes points about the 3-Ps, setting goals, and what the man likes. Because what the man likes, is exactly what the lady likes in a relationship.
