Review By: Sheree Cobernus


  You can fall in love with a rich man as easy as you can a poor man. Well yes, but can you after reading a how-to book?

This is supposed to be the guide to show you how to do that. I just don’t see the use for this book. A woman of wealth doesn’t need this guide – she’s raised to know how to do this already. But then a working professional woman would also know this information because she works with these men. It really seems like common sense to me – if you want a rich man you must appear to be rich and hang where he hangs. But I’m not here to pass judgment on the relevance of the topic so on with the review…

REVIEW CONTINUED BELOW...

RATING: 1.80 (out of 4.00)



Miss Sullivan organizes the information fairly well. She tends to get ahead of herself at times (especially when she starts talking about where to find a rich man) but the information is clear and easy enough to find. She begins with fixing yourself up then moves on to where to catch your prey. Then she explains what to do with them once you’ve caught them. She really doesn’t go into a lot of details for each of the items. Most of her knowledge is based on what to do when living in a big city. But she doles out a little here and there that could be useful (e.g., Top Ten Products for Under Ten Bucks).

Overall this is a sugared version of how to be a gold digger or catch your sugar daddy. All of the little fluff advise she gives (i.e., buying designer cloths on sale, mixing drug store makeup with expensive department store brands, and buying a Nintendo) is either going to be completely transparent to the man or is going to fade after the first few months of dating. Dressing up and playing games just doesn’t stand the test of time. And you can put all the lipstick in the world on a pig but it will still be a pig. Culture is not found in a Lancome bottle. If you really want to some advise on dating (rich man other otherwise) buy a Dr, Phil book or better yet go out and just start talking to people.

This is a buy if you just fell off the turnip truck in the middle of New York City and you need to find you a rich man.
