My GF got this for me for Christmas.
So far I've read 3 paragraphs and its about the exact opposite of how I play....so it could be a good read for me....but...just wanted to check it out out there....
How good/bad is this book? Anyone read it?

I've heard it's awful from multiple sources, but have yet to read it myself.

I don't know how it could be the opposite of how you play...there is no content in this book what so ever. A friend gave me a signed copy of it a while back. If it didn't have Doyle's signiture in it, I would have thrown it away. Not worth reading.

Her family goes to Detroit in a week - we celebrated yesterday.
There's not much content in it so if you have much experience at all it's probably not worth more than a skim.

Thanks. Should I skim it or return it for a more useful book? GF actually suggested it....
Also..do you follow his hand selection guide?

No comment on the book, but I'd suggest you tell her "love it, perfect!" - and maybe go pick HOHI/II yourself

Thats hilarious dude.
No seriously...I said those words....I did....
but she has encouraged me to get a different book if I don't like it. I was given a 'no offense' garuntee.
(Unlike many girls, I can actually trust this to be true when she says it!) lol

I should return the book and tell her I don't care if she likes it or not! (Show of manly bravado)

DUMP HER. Tell her you find it offensive that she would give you such a crappy book FOR CHRISTMAS FOR CHRIST SAKES. Dump her and try to hook up with skipperbob.
Actually this short instructional video walks you through exactly how to handle this.
