It probably goes without saying that this book is more explicit than other books in the series, given its focus on romantic relationships. In case that hadn't crossed your mind, though, now you know.What did take me by surprise - although perhaps it shouldn't, after having seen the other Listography books - is that this is NOT primarily a book about your current relationship, or subjects that would be directly relevant to your current relationship. There are some lists that fall in that category, but a lot of the book relates to one's history. That would make it pretty awkward to work through with a current lover.Also, like other books in the series, there is a definite flavor here that's rather out-of-sorts with the monogamous, non-partying type. Don't be surprised to find questions about pick-up moments and drunken kisses.
I think the list books are a good concept, but I don't feel like there's enough variety of questions for the price of the book. It should probably be smaller and cost less. It's still really fun to do with a significant other, though.
What better way for you and your lover to get to know each other (and yourselves) better than by ranking your favorites in all aspects of romance? From the basics---like best and worst dates, mix-tape love songs, and favorite positions---to some more thought-provoking ideas---such as how you differ from your lover and what you want out of love---they've even thoughtfully included some space at the back for you to come up with your own lists!Each list is paired with an amusing illustration to help get the creative juices flowing. A nice quality book with a durable soft cover. Buy one for yourself or as a great gift for friends! Also don't miss the original Listography for more list-making fun!
You'll have to be the nonjealous type to do this with your significant other as some of the questions involve fantasies about other people, etc. We leave about half of the space for each other but are still enjoying it a lot. For one person, it'd be perfect. I will say, though, that I was kinda surprised at - when I peeled the sticker off of the back of my book, I noticed that it was about eight shades lighter than the dark tan that my book was - I guess it was a little dirty?
I gave this book as a gift to my bestfriend. It's absolutely adorable and now I want one. It calms the OCD person inside of me who wants to put EVERYTHING into lists :)
I got this for my wife because she had always looked at these books--they are fun & have amusing illustrations, however, I think most of the books from this series is definitely designed for just 1 person. There are a lot categories that don't really apply to a committed relationship. That being said, I think this book is really fun and I would definitely love it if I were just single.
All of the listography books are just plain FUN. For those of us who need to remember or like to remember. Who like to make lists because we have ADD. Or just like lists...Fun fun fun
