All Men Are Not Pigs - Book Review for Single Women
You Could Be Searching for the Right Man in the Wrong Places
Raised in a religious home, Sussman took another path in his dating relationships for a while, so he fully understands his carnal nature, but when he returned to his faith, he began to apply a great deal of thought to spiritual truths and ethical issues about how to relate to women. Sussman implements these Biblical principles as he tries to help women navigate the often treacherous channels of relationships and dating.
Sussman encourages women to get to know themselves better as well as to understand male behavior, motivation, drive and subtle clues. It is certainly an admirable undertaking. A key point he makes is that his female readers could be searching for the right man in the wrong places.
One of the book's highlights is Sussman's interesting verse by verse analysis of 1 Corinthians 13.
However, while one Amazon reviewer said the book's "easy-to-understand thoughts can be implemented by anyone in a relationships," I found some of the writing to be stilted and somewhat convoluted with hard to follow segues from one thought to another. As an example, at times Sussman attempts to apply some principle or another to single women and married women at the same time, jumping from one audience to another back and forth. And as a picky note, the large print text might have better served an older readership.
Pickiness aside, All Men Are Not Pigs offers some interesting insights into male/female dating dynamics. I give it a thumbs up for content and a thumbs down for readability.

Post a CommentAll Men are Not Pigs - written by a man. I wonder what a woman author might have written. It all boils down to treating the wife as one's own body. They only hurt themselves when they hurt their wives.
Excellent review.... sounds like a very interesting book.
I was surprised to see the book He's Just Not That Into You make it to the big screen. I wonder if this will follow.
sounds pretty interesting!
Thanks for the thoughtful comments, ladies!
Interesting concept for a book. It's too bad- it sounds like it didn't really pan out, though. Well, maybe someone else will further develop it.
sounds like a very cool book!
