Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: Once again, Dr. Drew has informed and Adam has made the jokes. This book gave me so much info that I was too embarrassed to aske about. It was a lifesaver! If you are a fan of Loveline, you have to get this book!
Rating: Summary: Not as good, funny or informative as the radio show Review: I think their radio show is the best one I've ever heard and, though I learned a bit reading the book, it just didn't rock the way I thought it might have. You're not missing a lot if you don't get it. D+A: keep up the great work on the radio show, but try to make the book better next time!
Rating: Summary: Why didn't anyone think of this before? Review: These two guys are my heroes. That's all there is to it. The book that they've written is very logical and should be required reading for all High school health classes. They explain the differences in a man or woman's approach to sex... they cover drugs, threesomes, virginity. Buy the book for your kids: Because of its format, it is, by far, the best written book on its subject matter so far.
Rating: Summary: Same info as their radio/TV show. Save your $$$! Review: Hate to give it a bad review, as I love their radio show. I'd hoped this book would explore topics in more depth than can be done in their show, due to time limits and the chaos of the show. But it doesn't. It sounds mostly like a bunch of clips transcribed from the show. And that is its main failing. It sounds like some guys talking, and their conversation transcribed. And just like their on-air conversations, they get off-topic, don't fully answer questions, interrupt each other. Also, Adam's humor comes across badly on paper. Without hearing his tone and delivery, which makes it obvious that he's joking or being sarcastic, his comments just sound crass and sexist, especially if you're not familiar with his humor. I would have like to see them discuss the questions in greater depth, and with better organization and a more linear line of reasoning. You can get these answers for free, and in a much more entertaining format, from their on-air show and save your money.
Rating: Summary: I love Loveline Review: Adam and Dr. Drew are definately a couple of geniouses in my book. They know what they are talking about, and they don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk. Drew is a board certified physician and Adam is just hilarious but also gives many clever insights into human behavior. This book is a must for any Loveline fan. Loved it!
Rating: Summary: Fun to read Review: It has lots of answers, but I dont know if they're the right ones
Rating: Summary: Dr. Drew knows what he's talking about. Review: I would just like to respond to other readers comments about Dr. Drew's credentials. He may not have degree in human sexuality, but he has been doing the loveline show for probably about 15 years. While this may not (or may) make him an expert on human sexuality, he certainly has a lot of experience in that area. He has probably talked to and counceled thousands upon thousands of people. He has heard almost everything. Certainly you can't believe that just because someone has a degree in a certain field, they are automatically more qualified than someone who, while not carrying that degree has had numerous years experience dealing with the same subjects.Believe me... Dr. Drew knows what he's talking about. Buy the book.
Rating: Summary: No Credentials; Spectacular leaps of logic; Sexist Review: I found this book very inaccurate, with many philosophies presented as if they were simple fact. Dr. Drew and Adam hold the belief that men and women have radically different sexualities, and that they desire the same things for different reasons. This is somewhat true when studying men and women as two groups, but not when you look at individuals. To conclude that a man "naturally" wants things like a threeway, but only a "woman who was abused or is a bit off" wants the same is just pure and simple sexism, not to mention illogical. Few things in human behavior are that straightforward, nor can one accurately evaluate a person's psychological profile by sexual experiences or interests. Dr. Drew states that it is "unheard of" for a "normal woman" to be interested anything other than basic sex with a one man with the lights off. Obviously Dr. Drew has not heard of many things. The oddest thing about their beliefs is that even their own observations don't fit in with them. Adam says that most men he's met are just into basic sex, but women are far more experimental. How, exactly, does such an observation lead them to conclude that it is *more* normal for *men* to be sexually experimental?? The very definition of "normal" is what most people do most of the time -- if most men have basic sex most of the time, and most women don't, then the logical conclusion is that it is MORE normal for women to experiment than men. But they have an answer for that: Sex is psychological for women (and presumably not for men) and they will do whatever their boyfriends wants. More sexism. If women are more experimental, and sexual experiments are caused by psychological defects, then these guys are saying that women are more likely to be defective. They hold men and women to different standards, and for no good reason. It is also worth noting that Dr. Drew is a MD, but he is NOT certified by the American Board of Sexology, NOR accredited by the American Association of Sex Educators, Teachers, and Counselors. As far as I know he doesn't have a degree in human sexuality, nor has he even been formally educated in sexuality and sex counseling, and he is NOT a member of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex. Which explains a hell of a lot.
Rating: Summary: A great book with advice for anyone of any age! Review: Dr. Drew and Adam really hit the spots that life go through most with this one. Dr. Drew is informative and gives wonderful, life leading advice while Adam Corolla adds an entertaining sense of humor, making the book a fun lesson in life.
Rating: Summary: get this book Review: i have read this book and found out that this book is very good. this book has lots of insight
