Dump that Chump!: From Doormat to Diva in Only Nine Steps – a Guide to Getting Over Mr. Wrong

Dr. Debra Mandel
HarperCollins Publishers (2007)
ISBN 9780061213304
Reviewed by Sylvia Del Toro for RebeccasReads (4/08)

The author’s main point is to get women to realize their self-worth and to get them to let go of losers. This book is to help women build their self-esteem and figure out that they don’t need a man as much as they want one. They must realize the difference and not subject themselves to abusive relationships and value a good relationship.

“Dump that Chump!” is a catchy title. It grabbed my attention and I was looking forward to reading it. From the outer package, I made an assumption that it was going to be entertaining and possibly helpful.

In my opinion, “Dump that Chump!” was anything but…..helpful. I felt that the author was rambling and filled up pages with many of words before the point was made. It was drawn out and unclear more times than not. I believe the author was trying to be witty and entertaining on a serious topic, but it was dry, sarcastic toned and hard to stay focused on the main point.

I could take bits and pieces of “Dump that Chump!” and apply it in my place and say that I have dated some chumps in my day. I can even understand how women can get stuck in unhealthy relationships, but it takes more than a few steps to put it behind you or break away from it. If anyone wants to give advice on the topic, it should either be serious with strategies or entertaining pointing out the “errors of the man’s way” or ours for that matter in a constructive manner.
