Summary: not really!
Review: WELL! this book is not excately what i expected.
the author keeps repeating himself, not only his ideas but even the phrases as well! he keeps going on in circles..which only weakens the point. a chapter of 20 pages or so just keeps repeating one simple idea it is like he wanted to make sure we memorized the whole book before we put it down which is kinda annoying!while reading it i felt the author saying ''ok! repeat after me..''!
to be fare the book got some helpful ideas and a psycological analaysis which is not bad. but the book is like saying something in 180 pages while u can sum it in five simple words!

Summary: Utterly ridiculous and insulting to both sexes
Review: Yet another author trying to cash in on pseudoscience. Many people who are in need of an introductory biology class like to take it into their heads that there's this magical world of difference between male and female brains. Despite that those of us in the biopsychology field are having no luck finding an inherent difference between male and female brains, people seem to like to hear it, so authors exploit that. What's ironic is it's this separative attitude that is probably causing couples' misunderstandings of each other in the first place.

Not understanding the opposite sex? I'm willing to bet you're missing one of the following three things:
1. Respect them.
2. Listen to them.
3. Communicate. In other words, when you're not happy about something, say so firmly but respectfully.

Summary: Eh...okay
Review: All this book did was make me relieved that I'm single. I can't handle people whining and this book should've been entitled "How to deal with whiners". The martian deal slowed me down--I felt like it kinda downgraded the reader's intelligence. I'm also glad I'm not a man, because if I was a heterosexual man, I'd have to deal with heterosexual women and I never thought they were more annoying until I read this book. I feel more lucky to like men and be single than ever before! Thanks for showing me never EVER to get into serious relationships or married! I got to page 166 and just couldn't handle this book anymore. It's annoying to figure out how women and men are so much alike but so different. They both equally whine, but just about different issues. I wish everybody would go in a cave and come out happy personally--but anyway...the book wasn't bad, the subject just wasn't of interest to me after a little while.

P.S. By the way, "caring" is a noun as well as an adjective,
caring, [e-mail]. Please do your research before you say things like this. English majors hate it when people don't do their research.

adj 1: showing a care; "a caring mother" [syn: protective] 2: having or displaying warmth or affection; "affectionate children"; "caring parents"; "a fond embrace"; "fond of his nephew"; "a tender glance"; "a warm embrace" [syn: affectionate, fond, lovesome, tender, warm] 3: feeling and exhibiting concern and empathy for others; "caring friends" n : a loving feeling [syn: lovingness]
