What a fantastic read and actually quite relevant to a single woman in her mid thirties. Extremely funny and ever so witty. Ms Halperin paints such a vivid picture you are immediatley immersed and it’s a definate “can’t put it down ” read.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. IT IS POORLY WRITTEN, HAS THE GUY NEVER HEARD OF SPELL CHECK. I AM THINKING THAT THIS MUST BE PUBLISHED BY A KIND OF VANITY PRESS. I HAVE MORE ADVENTURES AND BETTER STORIES THAN THIS PERSON. TELLS YOU NOTHING THAT YOU DID NOT ALREADY KNOW, GIVES ADVICE LIKE CHECK YOUR LOCAL SENIOR CENTER, REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT HAS GIVEN ME AN IDEA TO WRITE MY OWN BOOK, WHICH WOULD BE MUCH BETTER AND GIVE SOME ACTUAL PLACES TO TRY….A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY, WILL TRY TO RESELL IT ON AMAZON.

I bought this book for my aunt (again) after reading a review in a magazine. The stories in the book were a letdown. My aunt and her friend had much better stories of their own…This little tale tops anything in the book: A man took an elderly lady out to dinner (for which he insisted upon paying), then, when she wouldn’t “give in” at the end of the date, he demanded, “At least you could give me my $10 back!” True story. Don’t waste your money on this book.

This book gives a lot of tips and pointers on how to succeed in finding a lasting relationship. It also has some interesting statistics which helps give insight into why dating is different now from when we were in our 20s. A useful resource for any woman over 40 that finds herself in the dating world.

I picked this book up, laughed and laughed and didn’t put it down until I was done. Sherry Halperin has such a flair for comedic writing. I’m 38, married (so not quite in the demographics of this book) but found this book to be a great read, one that I couldn’t put down! I have recommended it to all my friends who are in the crazy but wonderful world of dating as well. You will laugh, I promise….

Sherry Halperin’s book captures the tribulations of post-50 dating and turns them to laughter, beginning with her terrific title. What better epitomizes a woman’s dating dilemma than a guy who shows up wearing a moose hat? And this is a true story! What strikes me about Ms. Halperin’s saga is the sheer courage with which she faced the senior singles scene. Intrepidly, systematically, she went about dating as if her life depended on it, only to learn forty dates later, that it most certainly did not. Moose Hat offers encouragement, empathy and, best of all, laughter, to any woman who finds herself suddenly single again. Which is most of us. There are far worse fates than being alone, and Sherry Halperin gives us hilarious glimpses of several dozen. The fact that she turned disaster into success in this highly entertaining book, is a message in itself.

THIS IS TRULY A BAD BOOK. I LOOKED THE PUBLISHER UP AND ITS A VANITY PRESS, IN OTHER WORDS A PAID FOR BY THE AUTHOR PUBLISHING HOUSE. I CAN’T UNDERSTAND HOW IT GOT ON AMAZON. ITS RAMBLINGS OF AN OLDER GENTLEMEN ABOUT VARIOUS DATES HE HAS HAD IT THE PAST. ITS CLEAR HE DOES NOT HAVE SPELL CHECK. I THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF HINT OF DIFFERENT THINGS HE TRIED, OTHTER THAN TRY YOUR LOCAL SENIOR CENTER…..A TRUE WASTE OF MONEY, I AM SELLING MINE ON AMAZON. IT HAS INSPIRED ME TO WRITE MY OWN BOOK, WHICH WILL BE SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER AND HAVE SOME GOOD INFORMATION.
