Product Description
When it comes to boyfriends, there's a fine line between quirks and severe personality disorders. Is he a pedophile or is he simply good with kids? How to Tell If Your Boyfriend Is the Antichrist teaches women to identify the warning signs associated with a spectrum of Mr. Wrongs, including:
Cult leaders ("Does he have a problem with authority?")
Insufferable bores ("Does his dog wear a bandanna?")
Steroid addicts ("Do you admire his cleavage?")
Narcoleptics ("Is his face often soiled?")
Trekkies ("Does he lapse into Klingon during orgasm?") Best of all, this irreverent illustrated "guide" advises whether it's best to hang onto these guys or to quickly and safely dump them. How to Tell If Your Boyfriend Is the Antichrist is a hilarious reference (and a super gift) for single girls with a sense of humor.

 Brimstone breath is a dead giveaway. December 20, 2007
Patricia Carlin, How to Tell if Your Boyfriend Is the Antichrist (and If He Is, Should You Break Up with Him?) (Quirk, 2007)
Sigh. I was hoping for a full guide on boyfriend being Antichrist, but what I got was the DSM-IIIR. Oh, well. There's probably no way to take "my boyfriend is the Antichrist!" and turn it into an entire book. (Well, unless you're the late Ira Levin.)
This book as an interesting parody of the diseasing of America (the cultural phenomenon, not the excellent, must-be-read-by-everyone Stanton Peele book of the same name), but at times it hits a little too close to home to be outright funny. (The overly-sensitive should probably be warned, as well, that some of Carlin's lampooning here could be construed as making fun of those with the lampooned condition; if you think The Jazz Singer is a racist film, you'll probably want to avoid this. After all, think of how horrible all the dyslexics, misanthropes, and serial killers exposed to this book will feel! You'll be a better person, overall, if you avoid it. Trust me.) The more outrageous Carlin gets, the more scarily accurate it is at portraying the idiocy of the world around us.
Funny. But distressing. ***
 Make an informed choice on a man without resorting to hidden cameras! November 20, 2007
Let Patricia Corbin do all the work for you on eliminating 73 disturbed and very disturbing personality disordered losers from your stable of potential life-destroying devils.
It's all laid out before you in excruciatingly hilarious detail: the Closeted Homosexual, the Trekkie, Misogynist, Passive-aggressive, Bumpkin, Stalker, Mamma's Boy, Insufferable Bore, Pathological Liar, and much, much more.
If you are not certain of your current flame's personality type, the author has actually indexed the book by symptoms, enabling you to make a quick diagnosis without consulting a professional.
I highly recommend that you purchase How To Tell If your Boy Friend is the Antichrist, however, I am not sure if it should be filed under Humor, Self-help, Romance or Horror. You'll just have to buy it and make your own decisions.
 A Bit cheeky A bit creepy August 23, 2007
I got this because I liked the title alone. A friend of mine was going through a break up and I was having dating disasters. Anyway, the book is cheeky with cute illustrations of the boys. It's creepy because of the fact that some crazy ladies do go out with these horrible kind of guys. Some of the titles are funny like "what if your boyfriend is a time traveler", but it gets weird when there is stuff about "if your boyfriend is a stalker" or "psychopath". The thing I always say to everyone including myself is.."if it's too hard and he's inconsiderate just break up with him"...life is too short and at the same time too long to put up with some weird guy!!
Spot deviant boyfriend personality-types in an instant June 27, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Patricia Carlin's small format Quirk Book aims to teach love-struck women how to instantly spot dangerous personality types including zombies, pimps, narcissists, assassins, bores, kleptomaniacs, and Scientologists. The book consists of nearly seventy-five single page profiles with a half dozen identifying characteristics for each personality, a paragraph on "Should You Break Up With Him?" and cross-references to related deviant boyfriend profiles.
Do you get lost in his large, soulful eyes? Could be an extraterrestrial. Does he cut up your In Style magazine to compose manifestos? A serial killer (and this is one case in which it is perfectly fine to break up over the phone). Does he do bedroom talk in Klingon? Eh, dating a Trekkie is fairly harmless. Offer to trade cigarettes for sex? He may be an ex-convict. Buy lime in bulk at the garden center? A hitman.
How to Tell if Your Boyfriend is the Antichrist is a joke book that mocks mainstream love guides and exploits silly stereotypes for a chuckle. It is complete with black and white illustrations and an index by trait for quick diagnosis of problem boyfriends.
