Roommate Survival Kit

Rules for Roommates was a lifesaver to me. I live with 5 other women and this book made me realize that I am not the only person to deal with rotten roommates. Rules for Roommates also helped me find humor in many things that happened in my house. Through the many stories and antedotes in the book, I discovered new and origional ways to handle roommate situations. I definitely reccommend this book to everyone.

Rules for Roomates

Everyone who has ever had a roomate (and that's everyone!)will get a charge out of this book! You'll either recognize roomates you've had -- or maybe even recognize yourself! It's funny, it's witty, it's wise. Most of all, it's perfect for anyone you know who is about to begin the life experience of sharing a space with someone else. Even though it's written for same-sex roomates, couples newly living together would do well to check it out -- they could discover things they do that drive their mate mad, as well! Perfect gift for someone going away to college or entering the work world after graduation -- anyone who is about to begin sharing space with a roomate for the first time.

"The Rules" Definately Rates

If you share a dorm room or an apartment, this is a "must have." It is a great tension buster in which you will feel empathy for the little things that drive you big-time crazy about your roommate. You'll surely giggle-snort through most of it, especially when you discover you've unknowingly been breaking a few rules yourself. Makes a great coffee table book.
