Product Description
From Library Journal
Psychiatrist Lieberman, a contributing editor to Cosmopolitan and a regular guest on major talk and entertainment shows, and coauthor Collier Cool have written a book clearly aimed at the kind of audience Lieberman is used to addressing. The prose is unhesitatingly overblown, and the numerous cliches will make this book palatable to daytime talk-show devotees. A good measure of simplistic Freudian analysis is thrown in to spice up the mix further. Despite the writing style and the Freudian mumbo-jumbo, however, the overall concept is interesting, linking the psychological profiles of 12 types of "bad boys" to the plots of fairy tales to clarify their typology. The types range from the chronic whiner to the out-and-out sociopath. The authors give hints as to who can be successfully reformed and who should be dropped. Overall, this quasi-Bettelheimian work is rather appealing. Suitable for medium to large public libraries.?Pamela A. Matthews, Univ. of Maryland Lib., Baltimore

Absolutly horrible!,
This review is from: Bad Boys (Paperback)
Probably the worst book ever written. The author clearly has a weak grasp of the English language. DO NOT BUT!

Compendium of cliché.,
This review is from: Bad Boys (Paperback)
I was surprised after reading this book. It look relatively interesting after seeing the abstract but it was fastidious and redundant. Chapters were written hastily and without much thought. Would'nt recommend to anyone.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Not worth reading if not based on facts,
This review is from: Bad Boys (Hardcover)
The author may present the subject of the book with a lot of complete phrase that make sense on their own, but doesn't as a whole.
