In
an easy to read fairy tale-esque story line, FrogBusters maps out the
typical princess’s search for her knight in shinning armor. However
despite being labeled a mere guide on dating, the book doesn’t get to
dating until chapter four. Before then the book gives advice on how to
become a complete person by discovering one’s self, building self
esteem and finding what one wants in life. The book also provides some
help for the parents sections, so that at a time when kids need them
the most; one can find a way to connect to the other. Building up
oneself before beginning a relationship is a sometimes neglected
necessity. As FrogBusters puts it a Chinese proverb says that when two
halves come together, they make a whole, but when two wholes come
together there is eternal light and beauty (p30).
The
FrogBuster ask one to look at their purpose for dating - not everyone
is ready for it. Maybe one is using dating in a vain attempt to fill
that emptiness in their heart. And of course FrogBuster lists traits
that make guys princely, and lists qualities that result in harmful
relationships: what makes a guy a prince is not the way that he looks,
but the way that he treats a girl.
The most interesting thing
about FrogBuster is that it is a book that many can benefit from.
FrogBuster does not limit itself to guiding one to success in dating,
but also for such things as finding happiness in life. This a book for
many ages to enjoy.
