"We loved it! The best 269-page book of dating disasters we've read this year!" -- Streeter Seidell & Sarah Schneider, CollegeHumor.com 2/12/07

"... the new bible for the college bound student." -- Joey C., Blog Review Discussion 6/26/07

"Loved it! Ian's book is very insightful and learned a lot from it, mostly that women are crazy and Ian's a perv." -- Comedian Rocky LaPorte, Brief Bio: Rocky is one of the best in the biz. Check out his Tonight Show set at Rockylaporte.com (the only Tonight Show set to get a standing ovation). 10/24/06

"Will your guts literally burst? Probably. I used to work for a publishing house and this is one of the freshest, wittiest books I've read in a long time. I almost wished we didn't publish serious nonfiction. This book's got advice for men and women alike and ingenious pick up lines that I couldn't say I wouldn't fall for. The readers will find that even though they know it's not a book about success, they can't help but root for the underdog." -- Monica Wang, former editor before getting into real estate. Read Review on Amazon. 10/30/06

"Finally, someone tells it like it is. There's a time to talk and a time to shut up and it's about time someone like Ian Coburn laid it out for the rest of us." -- John Guilfoil, Editor of Blast Magazine 3/1/07

"This book is so brilliant, I can't begin to describe it. This is mandatory reading for any man . . . and any woman." -- Shawn, 30 and single 2/17/07

"Ian delivers a direct and witty insight on the dating game. The direct impulse of his writing style states he doesn't hold back his mistakes or his success. He certainly didn't appear as some sort of Harlequin Romance Novel Guy that could just make ladies fall for him instantly with the flexing of his biceps or whip out a wad of cash. Instead, Ian takes you on his funny and insane journey on how he developed a system of beliefs on meeting ladies. I think this book gears more towards helping men since his work is autobiographical; however, women could certainly read a very direct account of what happens in a guy's mind. Ian concludes it boils down to confidence and withstanding numerous rejections. I enjoyed Ian's observations that reading magazines didn't land a woman in 3 catch phrases, and how sit-com writers are compelled to write stories about how women are always right, even when they are wrong. I wish I was armed with knowledge like this years ago, and I could have been cured of NGB (Nice Guy But...) Syndrome." -- M. Mondo, Former Sufferer of "Nice Guy Syndrome" 12/19/06

"The book is very funny! Favorite line: "It only matters who knows the cop, and that's not us!" Favorite chapter: Rubber band, please." -- Tamora Wilson, Theater Lighting Designer. 11/1/06

"From a women's point of view, this book may come across as sexist and degrading to women. While the stories are humorous and often paint the author as an ill-equipped male with bad judgment and somewhat poor timing, you can't help but feel there's a bit of male piggish ness tied into each chapter. With that being said. I LOVED IT! Looking beyond the above, there is actually subtle advice that women shouldn't misinterpret, but rather learn from. This book made me laugh out loud as I reflected on my past dating experiences as well as caused me to feel a little guilty that I myself have pulled some of the “female stunts” that the author discusses about his experiences. The lack of censorship and use of open honesty only adds to the humor of this book. I enjoyed the listings of lessons to be learned in each chapter and looked forward to the “quickies”. This book only gets funnier the more you read it and I recommend it to anyone who’s ever dated the opposite sex. I must add that I’m glad that I was not a girl whom aided in helping Ian write a chapter… yet…" -- Michelle Gleissner, Catering Sales Manager 11/17/07

"I found both your book and eboo to be very insightful and helpful." -- Michael 11/23/08

"I read God Is A Woman after coming out of a 3 year relationship just over a year ago. Before the relationship I was very shy and very inexperienced with woman. But career ambition had kept me out there and enjoying the other aspects of life. Then I found myself in this relationship that my heart was never really in. But 1 part naivety, and 9,784 parts not having the balls to finish it kept me in the relationship until it inevitably went pear shaped.  With 1 part determination, and 1 part God Is A Woman I then went on to have the best year of my life. Despite making lots of mistakes along the way, I had a great time with lots of woman." -- Ross 9/18/08

"I'm a regular reader of your "lunch is not a date" column and bought your "god is not a man" book a few months ago.  Both are wonderful reads." -- Kaydo 9/18/08

"I just have finished reading your book Sexxx Huntman (translated for russian readers - by the way very good translating). I don't know what to say! It's a great book! It's too right! Thank you very much for Your sincerity, boldness, wisdon and patience! It was very interesting and really helpful! You are a man's man." Andrey 8/24/08 (Moscow)

"I'm sure you've heard this a lot, but I'll say it anyway: Your book is one of the best I've read on dating; I usually feel like I have to choose between advice that doesn't feel useful (from women) or advice that feels a little too creepy and artificial (from PUAs). Your book is the only one I've read so far that seems to give good advice and which I wouldn't be ashamed to say that I read. So, thanks." -- Pablo 6/18/08

"I live in Kiev, Ukraine. I am 18 years. I considered before, that already know a great deal about women. To your book belonged skeptically, as to boulevard scribble. In the total, read a book not torn away for an evening :) A lot of what new and useful, knew on your own! Thank you to you greater!" -- Alexander 5/16/08 (Kiev)

"I read Leslie Talbot’s book and loved it. I read God Is A Woman after seeing your complementary posts on each other’s sites. I bought your book based on her recommendation. It is very funny. I love it. I just wanted to give you just praise. Who doesn’t want to hear that?" -- John 5/8/08

"Read your book, pretty good stuff. Your book also helped a girl I am seeing right now: we have a mutual "Ross" friend. The guy was cock blocking me for a year (!)." -- Ed 3/01/08

"I was surfing around the internet and inadvertently came across your book review listed in the subject of this e-mail. I was so impressed with your professional approach which included a hard to find truthfulness I felt it was necessary to show my appreciation. Your transparent candid nature of writing was refreshing and has now made me a recent fan. I look forward to looking into your previous work and reading works yet to come. I will definitely share exceptional pieces written by you with friends." -- Chris 2/19/08

"Funny book. I was, however, somewhat dismayed by the Venn diagram in the first chapter. Unless I'm sorely mistaken, the "w" should be INSIDE (not outside) of the smaller circle (thereby reflecting the subset of men who adore women in addition to adoring sex). This error, so close to the beginning, is apt to make math majors (who probably represent a significant segment of your audience) leery of the remaining advice. Since you otherwise seem fairly insightful, I'll write this off as your publisher's mistake." -- Steve 10/09/07

"Having recently read "God is a woman" I have a lot of respect for your deep understanding of male/female interactions. You have put into words what many people, including those in the dating industry have failed to do over the years. I especially like your description of "the girl next door". Reading your book emphasized my belief that confidence comes with experience, something so many guys I know fail to accept. I look forward to reading more of your material and if there are any related books you recommend I'd like to hear about them." -- Cedric 10/22/07 (London)
