Reviews"Wonderfully written...more than just a good beach read." - Washington Post Book World "What gives the book a compelling edge is the characters' self-discovery...Thankfully, Dickey goes beyond the 'men are dogs and women are victims' stereotype." - USA Today "Raw, street-savvy humor." - Publishers Weekly "As the title suggests, this is a book about dawgs. Not dogs, but d-a-w-g-s. Cheatin', lyin', no good, no-'count, dirty lowdown mendawgs and womendawgs...You can't read Cheaters without becoming an active participant. You easily find yourself turning a page, shaking your head, and tsk-tsking."- Los Angeles Times "Modern dating has become a world in which individuals play games to keep the upper hand. Eric Jerome Dickey explores these mores with verve."- USA Today "Each character's voice [is] smooth, unique and genuine."- Washington Post Book World " Cheaters not only makes readers examine their own behavior but keeps them laughing while doing so."- Library Journal "His storytelling skills are first-rate."- Detroit Free Press "Wrenching emotion...he draws a tragic, romantic picture of love as both a panacea and a curse, an unavoidably painful pleasure."- Durham Herald-Sun "A generous helping of humor and a distinctly male viewpoint."- Atlanta Journal and Constitution "Dickey's fourth novel easily fulfills the expectations created by his earlier work and introduces a fresh sobriety to his talent for dialogue and character...smoothly done."- Kirkus Reviews
