Bullet Review:
MEH. It's not bad, but it's more like a "you can do it!" manual than any real help. Though admittedly it's good to hear about how much of a dick your ex is.
Maybe I wouldn't mind so much if it hadn't been 8 bucks for a book I read in 30 min. And for the Slowest Reader in the WorldTM - LAME.
P.S. I ended up going back through Amazon for a return. Seriously, I spent $8.49 on a book that took me like 30 min to read!! Most of the "pages" were a couple of words in like 72 point font!! COME ON!!
Full Review:
My boyfriend of 7 months (or 3 years, depending on how you reckon our relationship) broke up with me over text message and Facebook (ah, dating in the digital age!). I was kinda seeing us parting ways at some point in the near future, but the manner of the breakup and how sudden it was (not to mention the fact he went back to his ex, whom he said he would "Never, ever, ever get back together" with) really shocked me.
This being my first real dating relationship, I decided to be proactive and read as much as I could about breakups and how to handle them. So after perusing Amazon (and against my better judgment), I plunked down almost $8.50 for "Dumped", a book with an overall rating of 4.6 and 70 customer reviews.
If you want a "feel good" book telling you how awesome you are an how awful your ex is, this is your book. If you are looking more for a "coffee table" book, with huge fonts and colors and such, this is your book.
But this was not the book I was looking for at all. I wanted more anecdotes, the stages of relationship breakup and the analysis of the stages, maybe a scientific look at what was happening in my mind.
I could maybe have accepted what the book was (I mean, nothing wrong with a "you are awesome, girlfriend!" book) had I not spent so much on it. At $8.42, this was the most expensive Kindle purchase I have made - on a book that took The Slowest Reader in the WorldTM a grand total of 30 minutes to read. I could easily have parted ways with $.99 or even $1.99, but almost 8 times that? For such a slight book? No way.
So I did what I thought made the most sense: I ended up going back through Amazon for a return.
Again, this is not a bad book, and if you want a cheerleader, this is your book. But just be wary of how much you might end up paying for it.
