Product Description:

ME?

Never!!!

Well, except that one time...


Who says you should always tell the truth? With this handy informational guidebook you can con your way through life -- from finessing your resume, to lying about your age, to getting a date. Whether you've decided to cheat out of sheer desperation or the need to get ahead, The Art of Cheating provides essential tips and guidelines for how to be the ultimate swindler, and how to spot the con artists among us. You'll learn what it takes to be a great cheater, and the pros and cons to every swindle. As a newly minted master of deception, you'll be able to cheat:

¥ On a diet

¥ On your spouse or significant other (or both!)

¥ On your taxes

¥ On standardized tests

¥ Death


And more! With clever illustrations and humorous deadpan delivery, The Art ofCheating will have you sleeping your way to the top, faking an illness, and forging someone else's handwriting -- without batting an eye.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - cheatin' scoundrels, no longer funny!
REJOICE YA'LL!!!

Havent' actually read this book but apparently these two did. Regrettably, in our culture we are no longer allowed to condemn behavior, only ignore it or condone it (virtually the same!) And, apparently books like this only tell of how to do it and not the consequences when you get caught. Too bad. These shiftless cons actually had a future.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Scheme -- not
This book was written on a level that was far too simplistic to hold one's interest. The writing format was similar to a trip book (a made up example might be -- TENNESSEE, Places to Visit in the Winter).

I no longer have my copy, it went out with the ham shank.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Little book not to deep
Book contains cheats and how to do them bit on the shallow side. Reads fast, and is interesting. Misses the larger consequences of the cheats, and treats all with the same weight. Maybe that is good a form of objectivity.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lesson
Gives you a good heads up on how to spot a fake or criminal.
Useful for apartment managers or small business owners!
Helpful book.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - i thought i might learn something... but the author cheated me out of some $$$
this book is a joke. with little "jewels" of information like:

when trying to get a date through an online dating service, try lying about your age, height, weight or profession. this will increase your odds.

trying to cheat on taxes? try underreporting your earnings or exaggerating your business expenses.

wow! truly illuminating!!!
