This book is written in an engaging and friendly way that made it easy to read. Dr. Gray describes how women and men tend to interact with each other and gives advice on how to deal with common problems created by our different needs and communicating styles.

Overall this book offers some good advice but it relies heavily on the idea that the "average man" is a certain way and the "average woman" is another way. Certainly some tendencies can be highlighted, but I found it difficult to identify with a lot of his examples because I wasn't always like the women he described (and my husband was definitely not like the men). Frankly I found the traditional roles he describes (ie. women talk about problems because they want sympathy but men actually want a solution) rather patronizing.
