`Scary Pranks: Give Spook to Hook' threw me at first.  I had read several other books by this author, Stephen Williams, and appreciate his low key approach to self-help books.  This book looked really, um, immature, for something from this author.  It seemed so over the top that I couldn't believe someone would consider it a self-help book.  Then, I saw on the tagline that it was part of the `Entertainment' series, and it clicked.This is one funny book!  It is marketed as a tool to help guys get lucky with girls using scary pranks to get them all flustered and helpless, so the guys can step in and play the hero to get some `thanks'.  Well, if that were really true, the guys buying this book would probably be disappointed in the results!  But, taken as Williams intended this book to be, it is a great tool to demonstrate how humor can be the sexiest tool guys can use to get girls interested.Now, I for one would find the whole `my car won't start, so we are stuck here til morning' trick tired and cheesy, but any guy that had the guts to try it would have to have a wicked sense of humor, so I would have definitely been interested in getting to know him better. (I am married now, so these don't really apply to me, although my husband has kept me laughing for over 15 years, and he gets lucky all the time because of it!).  The book offers several outrageous scary pranks that someone could pull to get their girl into bed, and if they are read with your tongue planted firmly in your cheek they will entertain you and make you giggle, because you just know some silly guys have actually tried all of these just to bed their dates!I loved the witty style of the book, approaching the subject as though it is strictly a sexual how to, when in fact it is a lighthearted, humorous tome for those looking to get a laugh.  But seriously, guys that read this are probably guys with a wicked sense of humor, and those are often the best boyfriends/husbands, so girls, pay attention!  If your guy buys this book, he's probably a keeper.  However, if he sincerely believes he's going to get into your panties by trying these tricks, he might just be a seriously immature fella who needs to be scared himself!Okay, Williams, turnabout is fair play.  Where is the girl's guide to scaring the poop out of her man to get him to do something she wants, like take out the garbage or wash the dishes?  Now, that would be one book that I would definitely have to buy, ha ha!
