Re: Impact of the title

Honestly, when I first saw this book, I found the title a little bit off-putting. I know that it is meant to catch the attention and is mostly a play on words, but I still had to really consider before reading this book.

With that being said, however, I also did not feel that the tone presented in the title was actually present throughout the book.

The Title is a mirror of the whole story. It tells about the main message of the story.This is also the way to catch the readers attention. A way to allow the readers to think what will happen and why does it happened? In addition to it, the tittle of the story will create an imagination to all readers.

I almost didn't choose to review this book based upon the title. I thought it crass and vulgar at first. After reading the book, and feeling it was meant for a younger audience, I appreciated the attempt at the "catchy" title.

The title of this book is symbolic and at the same time it is self explanatory.From the title i learn that the author just goes straight to the point,infact have found it very interesting.

As for me the tittle is direct and self explanatory even you haven't read the book. You simply don't stick on something that makes you uncomfortable try elsewhere to be happy and comfortable.

I'm still reading this book, but the title had me laughing enough that I picked it up. There's something to be said for solid marketing potential.

The title grabs your attention. The fact that it might be considered offensive adds to the interest. It’s also informative. Stop “butting” your way through life. Take a stand and go for it without reservation.

The title is what initially drew my attention to the book and piqued my curiosity enough to read it. I think it fits with the book very well.

I thought it was humorous. It shows the author's creativity. Even if you don't read the book, he already has you thinking! Love it or hate it, he makes you do a double take and consider the title he has chosen.

The title itself was an ingenious way to capture one's attention. I give the author a thumbs up for that. It being offensive helps drive the point home. We all need to get our heads out of our but's. FACTS

The title of a book is what normally inspires me to read it but I have to say this title is not very appealing to me. This title also suggests that this book might not be serious enough to hold my attention.

The first time I read the title of this book, I thought it was clever and funny. It made it clear the book was about positive thinking and definitely made me want to read the book to find out more.
