Summary: Great Content, But A Tough Read!
Comment: This classic relationship book is still selling well because of the insane popularity of new television shows like Sex and the City, The Bachelor, Joe Millionaire, and The Bachelorette.
Why are people buying these relationship books?
The answer for most women is because of the necessity to understand how men think and behave. Additionally woman need to appreciate men for who they really are because in today's popular culture, men can act very mysteriously.
Herb Goldberg's book is pre-Mars & Venus which I think is a more readable book than this one. But I got my start in studying relationships by reading Dr. Goldberg's other great work titled, "The New Male."
I read this book the other day because I'm doing research for my third book which addresses typical women's questions about today's reality romance shows.
In reading this book I found two parts that I think are very valuable. One is the section titled, "Men's Blind Spots: How He Distorts His Relationships" which has 12 specific behavior patterns described in detail (very right on). The other section I like is titled, "Loving Him As He Wants To Be Loved" which I think are very true and can help women create a more secure emotional attachment.
As a writer in this subject matter, this is one of those books that I like to have in my library so that I can refer to it from time to time on core relationship principles. This is not a book for entertainment, but one for reference.
I can't disagree with any of the other reviewers for this book. Some will find it redundant, others will find it informative, and many will think it's boring. But for a few dollars, you get some valuable information from a highly credible source.
If you're a woman who is confused by the mixed signals that men give off in love relationships, this book may offer you some clues. Just don't expect to be entertained or amused. This is serious stuff that is written in a more formal tone. But knowing men's love blind spots may be worth your while. (It was for me!)
Rating: 2
Summary: long and drawn out
Comment: This book is hard to keep focused on. I ended up going to the last pages in a matter of minutes. I've read better.
Rating: 2
Summary: Redundant
Comment: I got bored reading the first chapter or so. I just went to the last part of the book and read the summaries. Useful and concise.
