Summary: Excellent Book especially when read together with partner
Review: I found this book to be very helpful in understanding some of the problems I have been having in my marriage. My wife and I took turns reading it to each other which was the most useful of all. I'm not sure whether it was the content of the book or merely the time devoted to doing something together (probably both) but I found this book to be very helpful. I agree with some other reviewers that the book is, indeed, repetitive which is a bit annoying. I do, however, credit this book with improving my marriage.

Summary: A bit too repetative and simplifying
Review: John Greys book was recommendet to me by a good friend. Grey is right in the thesis that women and men feel and think differently. After all the book helps to calm down a bit when she or he reacts in a way oneself won't expect. While leading me to some "aha... and oh i see" reactions Grey tends to simplify a bit too much for my taste and is often repetative which started to annoy me from time to time. I rate it a 3 stars - worth reading but don't take it like a literal guideline for your relationship. A healthy relationship means WORK, sometimes HARD WORK but it's worth it !!!

Summary: The popularity of this book scares me.
Review: Gray's theory could be summarized as this, "Men, when faced with a problem are obsessed with solving the problem. Women, when faced with a problem become frustrated and overwhelmed and need to talk about the problem without having to deal with solutions. While this may be the case in some, even too many, women, it is not the response of a healthy intelligent woman.

Summary: It would be O stars if that were an option!
Review: A dreadful apologia for the selfish, patrician behaviour that society allows men to exhibit. Go read some Germaine Greer
Rating:
Summary: Gives insight into how men and women think differently.
Review: While I could not put this book down because I felt that the author stated exactly how I felt, getting my husband to read it is another story. I think if a husband and wife could read it together, there would be fewer misunderstandings within their marriage. I wish that I would have read this book earlier in my marriage.

Summary: 30 YEARS OF INTERNATIONAL FEMINISM DEFEATED
Review: Let's give Dr. Grey credit for at least one thing. Feminists have told us for 30 years that men and women are the same; now Dr. Grey assures us that men and women are actually different or from Mars and Venus respectively. He certainly deserves much credit for this amazing one man counter-revolution. He has said that the huge success of his book is in large part due to the pent up demand for the truth that feminists have denied us during a very important period of rapid social change. But, from there Dr. Grey gets very very simplistic and repetitive. For example, his most famous example of what to do to make a relationship work is for the woman to let the man go in his cave(TV room) and not nag him to come out. Gray claims this is natural behavior for men who need to rest and brood and plan after a day of hunting or working. Similarly men should understand that it is natural for a woman to seek out contact, affiliation, and affection after her day. But, there is no solution here. Men are more likely to feel reinforced about going into their caves even longer and women are likely to be even more demanding about their needs. "The 91% Factor" goes way beyond this simplicity by suggesting specific ways men and women can trade behaviors so each gets what he wants. Further, it deals mostly with the way each approaches sex which after all is far and away the most significant difference between men and women that must be taken into account if a heterosexual relationship is to succeed.

Summary: Loved the book, but not at first!
Review: A friend recommended this book to me a year ago, but I didn't want to read it at that time. But later, my 30-year old son told me he heard the casette and liked it, so I decided to give it a try. When I began to read the book, I was impressed with the way it described some of the differences between men and women. The book gave me a lot of insight and answered some of the questions I've puzzled about for a long time. However, I got bogged down with the book's repetitiveness. Since my son liked the tape, I bought it(abridged) and found I liked the concepts even better in a condensed form. After listening to the casette several times and understanding it, I enjoyed the book better, too. The wisdom of its concepts began to grow on me. Now, I often think of the concepts taught. Using them increases understanding between us in our marriage. The concepts aren't difficult, just different than what I would think up on my own. I found my husband likes the tape, too. We're going on a trip this weekend and plan to take the tape along and listen to it again. I appreciated ways to word feelings that I couldn't think of how to express before. Sometimes feelings and words are very far apart in our heads. The book helped me to express how I feel, and it helps us to have better discussions on the way we feel without getting angry about it. I was often amazed at a concept and checked it out with my husband, and he always agreed with what was taught as a man's point of view. This book and tape help us remember that men and women are different, and they are meant to be different! So, let's enjoy it and work together instead of complaining about it!

Summary: I hate this man, and the way us humans are!
Review: When I first starting reading this book, I realised I hated this 'Gray' person. I don't understand why I have to accept the way men react to "a problem", and how they hide in their so called 'cave'. I was very shocked to learn that women react similiar, instead we head down the 'well'. It all makes sense now, why I wanted comfort on the way down to the 'well', and why I couldn't be nice to my partner until I hit rock bottom. As I read along, I summaries the chapter to my partner, because I don't want to understand and accept the Venus/Mars factor all on my own. I now understand my partner better but that doesn't mean I have accepted the man's way....Annie.

Summary: Amateurish psychobabble
Review: I pity the stupid woman who believes this and buys a copy for her spouse hoping for change. Not all guys are sweaty, beer-swilling, butt-scratching jocks from Mars. If you and your spouse have a problem, work it out, but don't expect any help from this book. MEN ARE FROM EARTH AND WOMEN ARE FROM EARTH... DEAL WITH IT!!!!!

Summary: Phenomenal!
Review: This has been such an eye opener for me. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone whether in a relationship or not or even if you'd like to be in one. For men and women, this book sheds light on why men and women behave the way they do. It's all about changing perspective and reaction rather than changing personality (the way you perceive vs. the way you are). It's about accepting and celebrating the difference between men and women. After reading many passages, I found myself saying, "Oh my goodness, I can't believe I did that!" Buy it, read it, enjoy your partner better!
