This book was all the hit back in the day. You would hear about it all over the place. There was even a thing about it on 20/20. I didn't watch it, but from hearing all about it, I thought it would be good to watch. I love the philosophy about people and love and their communication between people and thought that this would be a good book for it. I was kind of wrong. This is more like writing a book of stuff that everyone kind already knew and like seeing it in a book. I think it kind of takes the whole... Men talk like this and Women talk like this and they can only get along like this. I understand why some of my friends said that they felt insulted by this book because it kind of says that you're not able to grow and change and communicate on our own accord. I think it's an interesting read, just don't take it too seriously.
