Review # 1 was written on 2011-11-06 00:00:00 Kimberley K Williams Oh dear. Based on this material, I think the author must have been paid per cliché. I downloaded this audiobook thinking I'd enjoy listening to an upbeat, fun guide read by Penn Jillette. Perhaps I'd pick up a few tips that might be helpful in social interactions. However, I found Jaye's humor to contrived, self-congratulatory, and one-dimensional. The stream of "just for yuks" gags soon wore thin. Very thin. There was also a sort of snake-oily smarminess to the advice that made my skin crawl. Does this make me a "loser, not a schmoozer?" I don't think so.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-02-01 00:00:00 Mona Tuko I have never been very good at schmoozing. After reading this book I am no better at it. This probably has something to do with the fact that it is ten years old and contains advice like greeting sales clerks with "Hi-ya, good lookin'!" before asking for a favor, discount, etc. Apparently this tactic works for the author nine times out of ten...clearly his experience of the world is different from mine.
