My Thoughts:
I saw The Geek's Guide to Dating on Goodreads. When I read the synopsis, I knew that I had to have it. The cover is fun and drew me in right away. It made me nostalgic for the video games that I played as a child. 

The Geek's Guide to Dating is exactly what it sounds like. A how to guide about navigating the complicated world of dating. Even though I'm married, I can still appreciate a lot of the advice in the book. I can relate it to my marriage because my husband and I are both geeky people. Some of the advice in the book has helped me to make my marriage better. 

The book made me chuckle quite a few times. I got most of the references, but there were some that flew over my head and made me confused. There were a few obscure references. My husband hasn't read the book yet, but when he does, he will probably understand them and explain them to me. I only had one small problem with The Geek's Guide to Dating. In the next to last paragraph, the author spells Hermione wrong. It made my inner Harry Potter freak irate. I was ranting and raving about it for a couple hours after I finished the book. 

Other than those small problems, I loved The Geek's Guide to Dating. I recommend it to both men and women. Also, I recommend it to everyone who likes geeky things, whether they are single or in a relationship.

I give The Geek's Guide to Dating: 4/5.
