According to Liz H. Kelly, one of the keys to finding a man is to get out of your Home Box or, in other words, the comfort zone of regular activities and relationships you're used to. That may sound tough to many, especially those new to or experiencing dating for the second time around. However, armed with this book as your guide you'll wonder why you never tried it before.

Liz H. Kelly's SMART Man Hunting is a sassy, informative guide to finding a man in what she calls the New Era of dating. Starting from the basics of how to transform your thinking and widen your approach to man hunting, it goes on to explore the variety of avenues, such as email and web dating, matchmaking and speed dating, that are available in today's society. Each approach is dealt with in depth and the text is packed with practical tips, personal experiences and useful examples from people who've been there and done it already.

Once you've followed the suggestions, got into the dating scene and found yourself some dates, section III encourages active analysis, assessment and reviews of men. This is an important element of meeting new people, especially those who you've initially met online and, like the rest of the book, Liz tackles it with a sensible attitude and down-to-earth approach, including plenty of cautionary tales and warning signs.

Section IV, the SMART Man Hunting ABC Man Codes, is great fun and worth a read even if you've already got a man. Very cleverly identified, wittily written and highly memorable, the codes can help you identify types of men in a second..and help you avoid them instantly if they ring the wrong bell. For example, ESS stands of Executive Search Seeker, or the type of man who only wants a career minded woman, FE is the fitness extremist who's obsessive about regular workouts, HGG is the hello, goodbye guy, who seems nice and pleasant, than does a sudden disappearing act, and NN is the nourishing nester, who likes one-on-one company and quality time at home.

Whether you're on a serious hunt for Mr. Right, are interested in occasional dates, have recently re-entered the dating market or think it's useful to be keyed up to help date-less friends, this is an entertaining, riveting and eye-opening read.
