I couldn’t help but feel that the title was just a way to lure the reader in. And later finding out that the writer was in advertising, that made sense. It is a good way to capture someone’s attention, but it’s not a title I would expect from a self-help book (which is probably exactly the point).
I appreciate the sense of humor, but almost feel like the title belittles what could be useful information.

I believe that everything (from choosing the book title to making the book cover design) that the author did was to attract the audience in simple terms. Well, at first, I also thought that it is children's book. Wait until you read the entire book, I guess it's wrong that I judged the book by its cover lol.

I thought it was a kids book too! Or just a quirky fictional book. Either way, the title is definitely catchy and gave me a laugh.

The rather unusual book title definitely caught my attention and was the main reason why I decided to pick up the book. Since the story in which the author is visited by a rooster in her bathroom is really short and takes on only a minor role in her narrative, I felt that the title was indeed just a catchy title to grab the reader's attention. And, well, in my case, it worked!

I thought this was a children’s book. I personally still do not understand the concept of a random book title, but this may just be this author’s personal style. I was definitely not expecting the actual story itself that was shared after reading the book’s title.

I thought at first that it's a comedy a read. But it was unbelievable for me to accept that it was an autobiography. By the way, there is a story in the book referring to this catchy and humorous title.

I believe the author did not want to lay all her eggs on the table and it worked perfectly. The title effectively catches the reader's eye and piques ones interest and makes the want to understand what the title meant. The title most definitely attracts more readers as opposed to had the title been an ordinary one like any other.

I also assumed this book to be a children's book- with the childish title and all. But I never thought that this book was going to be such a great piece of self-help and motivational work. The title is truly irrelevant to the book's content, except for the one rooster chapter which comes in between the book.

At first, when I see the title, I think this book is about the author's experience with rooster, and apparently not. I think the author just want to make something catchy and it's success piqued my interest in it.

The rooster in the bathroom is a curious topic. When you volunteer in foreign countries you can expect the unexpected. The rooster's significance in the story was fleeting.

When I initially read the title and the cover page, I thought that this is a children's book. Later only I read the complete title as well as the book and got to know that this is an inspirational autobiography.
Apart from the latter descriptive part of this title, what do you think about the initial part regarding a rooster being in the bathroom (There's a Rooster in My Bathroom!)? Is it a relevant or a suitable topic with regard to the whole book? Or is it a catchy title that this author has used with her experience in advertising?
There's a Rooster in My Bathroom! is a misleading title from the content of the book and not is a suitable title for the book.
Maybe it is a catchy title used by the author to get engagement in the content of the book.

I also like the title of this book, which is what drew me to this forum in the first place. Now that I know it's not a children's book, I'd like to see the types of challenges the author discusses in this.
