Harvard-graduate Cort Cass has wit and wisdom in his "Redhead Handbook: A Fun and Comprehensive Guide to Red Hair and More." Here is an insightful portion from the book: "The way we treat people has a lot to do with the way they treat us. If people expect us [redheads] to be hot-tempered and excitable, then they may change their behavior accordingly. Consciously or unconsciously, we may begin to alter our behavior to fit others' expectations." This book easily makes my Goodreads "favorites" list.

I small book that barely touched on what it means to be a redhead. Some of the information was just "old wives tales". These are things that I have been told, but later found to not be true. Red Heads do gray and we do color our hair sometimes. The makeup tips were laughable. It only took me an hour or so to read it so I do not feel like I wasted any time.

I loved this book! It's a cute fun little guide to some of the more famous red heads. It also explains the authors theories on why red heads are still around and what makes us tick. As a red head myself I have to say I think every red head should read this book.

Strawberry blonde right here! (Or golden red...or orange...depends on the light). Anyway, this book was good!

Fun little read about being a redhead and the "rules" that accompany it. "Love us or hate us, but you can never ignore us"
