Advantages: Interesting and humorous.
Disadvantages: Not really useful.
As a male of the species (Homo Sapiens) I have often wondered what goes through the mind of the fairer sex. I read this book hoping to gain an insight into that complex and mysterious subject, and maybe learn how to improve my relationships with these strange creatures. The book is written in a very easy and down to earth style so you needn't worry if you don't have a degree in Psychology. The style is humorous, I found some of the descriptions very true and the author has used some excellent metaphors and drawn comparisons with other cultures to illustrate key points. For example when men have a problem, the author says they like to be left alone for a while to think of a solution to the problem before they are ready to face the world again. In native American Indian culture, the man withdraws into his 'cave' to sort out the problem, but if anyone approaches the cave, the 'dragon' will come out and burn them! Well it made me laugh anyway! This book is not really going to solve problems if you do have serious difficulties with your marriage/relationship but it may help give an insight into the weird behaviour of the opposite sex. By the way please don't be offended if you are female and reading this, it is meant to be tongue in cheek - I'm from Mercury!
