Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Bodyguard for Women's Hearts returns with brand-new tough-love advice for satisfying relationships and spiritual fulfillment.
Some women have become so accustomed to the games and manipulations of men that they are virtually sitting ducks for all the suckahs out there. Every woman has to be able to recognize Mr. Wrong before she lets him into her heart. True love is definitely out there -- you just have to know where to look.
In How to Duck a Suckah, Big Boom -- a former pimp, player, and hustler -- draws on his own sordid past to help women avoid traps, demand respect, and live a drama-free life. His overall message of self-empowerment proves that you can't be happy with anyone else unless you are happy with yourself.

This was a great continuation of his 1st book "If You Want Closure, Start With Your Legs".

I like this book. It was easy to read and conversational in tone. It was like a big brother or uncle giving me advice. I love how Big Boom jumps right into it and in Chapter 2 he breaks down the different types of suckahs from the Preacher Types to the Down Low men.
He challenges women to develop their self esteem and wait for Mr. Right instead of settling for Mr. Right Now. He also challenges women to investigate men more and warns of the dangers in letting men know where you live too soon, having sex too soon and of the dangers of exposing them to your children too soon.
The questions he lists in the Appendix are really deep and require you to do some soul searching in order to answer them. I think that those who really invest the time in doing this exercise will learn a great deal about themselves (possibly things they'd never considered before) and this will help you regarding your future choices in selecting a mate.

I have a co-worker who picked up this book because of all the "hoopla" of the author being on the Steve Harvey morning radio show and I reviewed this book after she read it and (to me) it has some of the same things that the book "Sucka Free Love" by Debra Cooper talked about (that I have also read). The view points on dating and experiences women face in dating are related the same in each book, only Ms. Cooper was the 1st to share this with & entitle it with similar language "Sucka/Suckah". I can't discredit any work that Big Boom has done but the similarities in this title would make you think that he has copied it from the title of Ms. Cooper's book or it has been regurgitated (re*gur*gi*tate - Function: verb: to become thrown or poured back transitive senses: to throw or pour back or out from or as if from a cavity.) from the title to the story line. Ms. Cooper gives accounts in her book based of facts of dating from the female perspective and Big Boom's story/book is being told based on a "reformed pimp/player".
My choice regarding the dueling "Sucka/Suckah's" would be: Sucka Free Love - How to Avoid Dating The Dumb, The Deceitful, The Dastardly, The Dysfunctional and The Deranged!

How To Duck A Suckah by Big Boom, a reformed pimp and self-professed body guard for women's hearts, gives advice on how to do just that; duck a suckah. While explaining the differences between suckahs and playas, Boom boasts of knowing the game because he lived it, though not regretfully. Who better to learn this type of skill from than someone who has played? Why not count them as lessons learned in order to fulfill His mission? Yes... His mission. Boom's passages preach empowerment, success, and happiness among women and their relationships. He gives common examples and suggest `tests' to detect suckahs and/or playas but not without giving thanks to his higher power for allowing him to be able to speak to women positively. Boom even provides tips on empowering soon-to-be women, what it means to be a lady, and tapping into internal strength during trying times.
While the effort was grand, Big Boom delivered a guide that can be most helpful to young women. Some of the techniques used by suckahs and playas that were described are common knowledge for most older and mature women. With Boom revealing his background, I felt a certain degree of trust in what he was writing but it lost some of its validity in a passage regarding abusive relationships. It is obvious there is limited knowledge on the subject as some of solutions given could create more danger for a victim of abuse. Still, there were very precious jewels between the covers. One of the most memorable of them for me is when he writes:
The graveyard is full of brand new gifts that have never been touched before. Make sure you open yours before you die.
This manual is from a big heart and you can tell in the conversational tone of the book and how he continually asks his readers to hear him out. People who are looking for a good pick-up-your-spirits guide and those who are looking for validation that they have a suckah on their hands would thoroughly enjoy this book.
