The Two-Step: The Dance Toward Intimacy

Rating:
Summary: Cute, but average...
Review: I was drawn to the amusing, true-to-life cartoons and the simplistic text. However, reading through it I found myself a bit disapointed. The entire book centers around two roles of every relationship: the seeker and the sought. It defines and explores these roles while offering ideas on how to be more satisfied in a relationship. However, that's about all it says. And it has been said before, in better ways.

This book deserves some credit. The cartoons are charming and provide a light-hearted contrast to the text. All relationships are covered thoroughly: heterosexual, homosexual, family, friendship.

While I wouldn't recommend rushing out to buy it, I can't say it is all bad. From there you'll have to form your own opinions.

Summary: The Two Step: The DanceToward Intimacy
Review: This book is funny, risque, and amazingly profound. I couldn't put it down. I could see every relationship I ever had, with my parents, my children, my friends, in a clearer way. I loved it and gave it as a Xmas presents.

Summary: Gut Level Connection
Review: This comical picture book captures so much about how we try to connect intimately, and then defeat our efforts. I thought it was great. Better yet, my husband, who really doesn't "get it" when you talk about or read about intimacy, said he LOVED THIS BOOK. He read it cover to cover, and said he really identified with the messages. He still can't articulate what he learned, but I believe something sank in at the gut level. Now, that's worth the price of the book.

Summary: Introspective yet Easy!
Review: Using simple pictures this book manages to convey some of the most intricate aspects of relationships. It helps you identify your patterns within relationships and what you can do to break those patterns and create a deeper intimacy. I appreciated the honesty of the author because at no point did she say this would be an easy or painless process - but rather that it would be an ongoing struggle that would result in a lively and rewarding relationship. I've read other relationship books but none were as capturing or easy to understand.
