PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cautioning readers against getting arrested, Nagorski proceeds with "your recipe book" of revenge, a tongue-in-cheek guide to achieving vigilante justice for relationships gone bad. A writer, director and producer in New York, Nagorski handles all the angles, taking a historical-cultural look at methods for dealing with marital transgressions; the ancient Egyptians, for example, whipped a man "a thousand times with rods" for cheating, and sliced off a woman's nose. Modern-day retribution pales in comparison, evidenced in tales of recent celebrity breakups, chapters devoted to payback songs (e.g. Hilary Duff's "Dignity," Kelly Clarkson's "Never Again") and movies (e.g. Fatal Attraction, A Perfect Murder). Jilted women may find her barbed thesis on heartbreak-thinking about revenge can be as satisfying as exacting it-cathartic and a bit comforting, but might want to stay away if the wound is too fresh.
