Though categorized as a book of romance, in actuality How to Impress a Girl by Akshay Rajgor is a manual or guide to meeting and creating a good first impression to impress the girl that an individual may be interested in. How to Impress a Girl is Rajgor’s second publication, writing this after he graduated from Mumbai, India. Currently Rajgor is a tutor and an author who is looking to continue writing. This fifteen-page manual that Rajgor has constructed is the direct result of his desire to help 10-18 year olds impress the girls of their dreams.

What I like about this manual is that Rajgor acknowledges that starting conversations with girls can be difficult, but not impossible. Though he sympathizes with his readers, he also equips them with what he thinks are the tools to accomplish impressing girls. He gives you his thoughts on multiple topics ranging from how to improve the reader’s personality to how to begin conversations with girls not only in person, but online as well. Rajgor gives clear examples of his methods so that there is little confusion for the reader. He even makes it clear that there are just some things that a person should never do when attempting to impress a girl.

Though the subject matter is very subjective, I believe that in some passages of this manual Rajgor gives some solid advice to his readers. This is especially true in his section about personality. Though I personally think that some of his advice is helpful, he also makes a lot of assumptions about girls and speaks about them as if they are all the same. I found it interesting to read his advice simply because it allowed me to receive a glimpse of how he thinks.

Although some of the advice is not bad, overall I did not enjoy the manual because the grammar made it painful to read. Rajgor constantly had misspelled words as well as simple grammar mistakes, especially in sentence structure. This made reading the manual very distracting. The author also had issues with his tenses as well as simply knowing if a word should be plural or singular. Also the sentences in this manual were very choppy, being that there were not a lot of complex sentences in the text. To me, this piece just seemed as if the author is not a native English speaker.

Another issue that I have with this manual is that it includes facts and studies about girls that are in no way cited. The reader has no idea where these facts come from or even what the so-called studies are, never mind if these statistics even hold any legitimacy. Because there were no citations of where the author received the information that is in this manual, it makes me believe that the percentages and studies were completely made up by the author in order to make the reader believe what he is saying.

Overall, I did not enjoy this manual and I rate this book 1 out of 4 stars. If you are over 17 I do not believe that this manual is worth picking up and reading because it is only 15 pages, the grammar and spelling is atrocious, and because the author looses all legitimacy with the facts that are included. The only people who I think would enjoy or learn something from would be people under the age of 17.

Thanks zeldas_lullaby! If the author fixes the grammar and spelling I think teens would really like it.

You're welcome! There do need to be more books like this for navigating those awkward years 'twixt twelve and twenty.

Tell me I didn't just say that! Just shoot me now! :geek:
