Bad Boyfriends: Barnes and Noble Seal of Approval

AudiobookCover2

Barnes and Noble sent me a letter (typed! signed by hand! via the antique US Mail!) saying that their category buyer liked the book well enough to buy a test lot and enter it into their ordering system, so while you likely won’t find it on the shelves of your local store just yet, you can request it at any Barnes and Noble and they’ll special order it. You can also special order it at most bookstores now. Be one of the first to read the print version, and spread the word to your friends who need relationship help by telling them to read it….

Meanwhile, the audiobook is being processed and should be available in a few weeks; I’ll announce it when I hear from them.

If you want to order online, here are the biggest vendors:

“Bad Boyfriends” Reviewed by Indie Reader

Indie Reviews is the first major reviewer to get to the book. The reviewer understood what I was trying to do with it — I’m lucky. Four stars is high praise from them.

★★★★☆
IR Verdict: BAD BOYFRIENDS offers some sensible and intelligent advice for those looking for a romantic relationship, or wondering why all their relationships seem to go sour.

Kinnison rightly attacks society’s emphasis on the hormonal/sexual state of being “in love” as a foundation for a long-term relationship or marriage, and encourages readers to seek a deeper, more intelligent connection between lovers and/or spouses. He shows, with empathy and perceptiveness, how different personality types are likely to interact, and what can be done in some cases to mitigate the negative effects of different insecurities and problems. His discussion of how to recognize and avoid a psychopath and/or an abusive mate is clear, precise, and firm. And the reader who takes nothing else away from the book should at least note his repeated advice to avoid anyone who has lots of exes, all of whom he or she describes as crazy or evil.

Kinnison does occasionally tend to oversimplify, as one must when categorizing personality types. The author also tends to put most of the blame for personality issues on bad parenting rather than on genetics or non-parental environmental influences, which is debatable but true to the attachment-theory perspective. The title’s gender-specificity might discourage straight men and lesbians from picking up the book, when in fact its advice is pretty gender-neutral. These minor problems, however, do not substantially interfere with the actual advice, which is generally sound.

Scribd as Netflix for reading

My book just appeared on Scribd, which I was only familiar with as a place to read long legal documents. They seem now to be trying for a Netflix-like subscription reading market — $9.95 a month to read anything you want.

[Edited October 22nd — I removed the book from Scribd.]
