A Gamut of Different Emotions
"This book made me incredibly angry. I bought this book for 2 reasons. The first reason is that I heard the Authors interviewed on a Montreal radio station and I found them to be entertaining. The second reason is that when I checked out their website I loved the books cover. When I started to read it I found myself getting increasingly mad at their opinions. How dare they make such bold statements. However, I found it hard to put the book down. Just when I figured they had crossed the politically correct boundaries they seemed to find a way to make me laugh with some of their rants.
As I progressed through the book I think I figured it out. Their theories though confrontational really made me think. I am not positive, but I think they are making fun of how things are. At first I did not agree with what they were saying and then I thought about my friends and the world and I am not sure if I disagree any longer. That actually made me feel sad. This book actually made me really examine how I treat people. I finally realized that this is not a self-help book or a book about how to "score". It is more about change and having a great time in the process of this change. At first I was going to give it only 1 star - after I worked and laughed my way through it I have changed it to 4 stars. If it didn't make me so angry in the beginning it would have been 5."

The Best Relationship Book Out There!!!!!!!!!!
"Over the years I have seen a lot of books out there that say they have the 'answers' to having a good relationship. In reality the majority of them (including some best sellers) simply tell people what they want to hear but they have no real world useful information in them. Seed's Sketchy Relationship Theories - A Guide to the Perils of Dating actually gives the reader useful real world information. The book is great to read and it has some parts to it that will make you split your sides laughing going while saying 'oh my god, that's exactly the way it really works out there!'. I had a couple of my female friends buy the book and they agreed that the book was great for both men and women to read (one of the women went out the next week and used some of the tips in the book and had 2 wealthy good looking guys after her phone number!). For guys this is also a must read because if you want to meet someone and have a good relationship this book will put you miles ahead of every other guy out there. Buy this book. It is the best thing that you can do to improve your relationships and your life in general. Well done authors and I look forward to your next book also!
Also recommended: After reading Seed's Sketchy Relationship Theories - A Guide to the Perils of Dating the other books in this category seem like a waste of money so I can't say that there are any other ones I would recommend!"

Comedy and insight in perfect balance
"Seed’s Sketchy Relationship Theories is absolutely hysterical. It combines some elements that I don’t think you will find anywhere else. Those elements are off-beat original comedy, life experience and an great insight into the war of the sexes. It pissed me off from time to time, yet it also made me open my eyes. Though not perfectly written it flows very well and is easy to read. It provides comedy and insight in almost perfect balance. My suggestion is buy this book. You will laugh, you may disagree with a lot of what they say, but you will definitely be entertained."

Fresh - Controversial - Fun - Hilarious
"I found this book to be incredibly honest and fresh. It seems to have a male perspective on dating and relationships, however, when you scratch below the surface, it is a book about life and the state of the world today. The authors tackle a very tough subject matter with courage and candor. They challenge the reader to make wise choices by encouraging them to think about their lives. Periodically they share with us, their twisted humor, which had me busting a gut with laughter. As they say in the book strive to be an “exception”, I found this book to be exceptional. When I finished it I felt like I knew the authors personally. It reads like a great conversation between friends and the authors are not afraid to share some of their vulnerability. If you want an original read that will definitely make you think, then this is the book for you. Without question there is nothing else like it. It left me wanting more. (I actually caught the authors being interviewed on the radio and found them to be entertaining, honest, original and humorous. They seem to have a very positive energy, which definitely comes across in their book as well)."

This book is original, controversial and honest.
"Wow! What can I say. There is not another book on the market like this. Seed’s Sketchy Relationship Theories may be the only book that tackles tough subjects with both brutal honesty and fresh entertaining humor. It makes the readers look in the mirror first, before encouraging others to change. When other popular books seem to be just teaching women how to play games and men to become wimps. This book actually seems to have the guts to dig deeper into the problems that plague modern society. The authors make the readers think by challenging them to challenge the theories presented. If you want to read an honest biting commentary on relationships and the world, while sometimes splitting your side with laughter, this is a book for you. It even contains some images to illustrate some of the points presented. I laughed, I swore, I found myself nodding my head, but most importantly it made me think. I recommend this book to both men and women. It will at least make you think."

Fresh, provocative, compelling, voyeuristic and humorous.
"I enjoyed this book very much. When I picked it up I never expected too much from it. I thought it would just be another gutless relationship book, promising some magical formula for finding your “true love”. To my surprise it turned out to be much better than I had expected. Being a writer myself, I know how difficult it is to write well and have an interesting (not to mention humorous) message. There are few who possess these skills in sufficient quantity, and are willing to put in the work. I commend Seed and German Seed for their effort.
When I started reading the book, I approached it like I would any other book: read it from start to finish. But then my curiosity started getting the better of me. I started spot-reading chapters. [...]. At this point, I think I’ve covered everything, but I haven’t shelved the book yet. I keep stumbling across previously unread gems, or in some cases re-reading certain parts.
Many of the theories the Seeds presented are true and their expression is provocative and clearly expressed. Even in cases where I didn’t particularly agree with a theory, I found their arguments compelling and, equally important, entertaining. [...]. I got a very voyeuristic feel as I read the outtakes. Interesting exchanges between Seed and German Seed. The stuff between Seed and what’s-her-name…what can I say…[...]!!! Nice work! I highly recommend this book."

Original and Hilarious
"Seed's Sketchy Relationship Theories is a unique and amusing look at the perils of dating. Seed's blunt, sarcastic style is original and, at times, controversial but provides a new hilarious perspective on dating, relationships and many other things. The Gravy section, alone, will leave you laughing for days! Good job Seed (and German Seed)!"

Honest, original and funny - a must read for men and women
"I must commend Seed. He has tackled a very tough subject matter and spared the fluff that most books on relationships inflict upon us. He has shared big parts of his life to give the reader an understanding of where a lot of his knowledge comes from. It is very refreshing to see that he never held back on his opinions. He seems to say what everyone else seems to be afraid of saying and he talks from the heart. The book is laced with deep thoughts and yet it is filled with original comedy to keep it light and fresh to read. If you read it with an open heart and an open mind, Seed provides a very powerful positive message. I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to sort out their personal relationships or for those who simply want a good laugh. It is rare but Seed provides us with both. I wish him great success."
