The Big Cookie

My best friend Ari wanted me to read this book so badly she faxed it over to me page by page! She said the character Pea epitomized my person. I read the book and honestly related to almost every character, not just Pea. I am currently an undergrad attending USC and this book was a fountain of information for a guy just like the "guys" in the book. I almost felt as though I had encountered a new group of friends! The characters are real, down to earth, relatable sorts. Any male out there that has tried, and failed, to "bag a babe" will love this book! Not only is it hilarious, it is insightful, honest, and thought provoking. I feel so much better as a single, college age male after having read this book. I know I am not alone! I highly recommend this book! As a matter of fact, not only am I going to reread it, but I'm also going to buy copies for all my male friends! Excellent book! I couldn't stop reading it once I started.

My college life surely would have been richer, had I taken Romance 101. This is a great story - a hilarious look into the reality of dating. No matter where you stand (or stood) in the dating spectrum, you can connect with one of the characters in this book.

Anyone who has ever been a college student and agonized over meeting that special someone, or just having a date to take to a special event, will love this book. I read this book on a crowded airplane. I tried, unsuccessfully, not to draw attention to myself by laughing out loud. This book is just too funny. I often found myself in quiet, spastic, tear-filled, convulsions which drew the attention of every passenger seated near me. You will quite probably read this book from cover to cover without being able to put it down.

I picked up the book because I went to Purdue and I heard that it was set there. It was great! I would have loved it if it had been set somewhere else. I finished it one night. I couldn't put it down. I would laugh so hard at the end of each story, that I had to know what happened to those guys in the next one.

As a professional comedian, I rarely laugh out loud -- especially at books. In fact, this is one of the only books I've read IN MY LIFE that I can remember doing so. And I don't mean I laughed once or twice -- I laughed THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH! Add to that the insight I got on the working mind of the single guy, and it was win/win all-around!
