This book is an eye opener to understanding men & women. I would read this repeatedly!

[Christine]

Excellent concept, mediocre execution. A stronger focus on dialogue may have helped. The long answers and stilted questions took away from what could have been an engaging back an forth. In addition, both voices seemed too individual, especially the female one. The answers seemed too focused on the writer than on men and women. Including some alternate voices would have improved the conversation and its credibility. The content did provide some good information. It was just far too limited.

I loved this book...i mean it's so informative about relationships, and how the opposite sex point of views are so different from each other. It explains a lot of things and answers questions that women have about men and what questions or concerns that men have for women.
