I could barely stop laughing! unfortunately it is quite ripetitive but expresses a lot of concepts that are very well chosen. It is a fair book, with no side or leaning towards the men or women. Gray is ironic and irreverent. It is a reading to relieve the brain and relfect a little!

I think this is a must read book for both men and women. Particularly the first half of the book is quite useful, yet the second half part is relatively boring and repetitive from the beginning. This book lists out a lot of examples to illustrate the author's theories. Most of them are quite easy t ... (continue)

Regarding cross-sex communication, this book is probably one of the most widely-read and popular books. This book indeed gives me a very good framework on how men and women are differed and how their differences let to different expectations and unfavourable outcomes. I was especially impressed when I read the chapter 'Mr. Fix-it and the Home-improvement Committee'. I think this chapter points out how men and women are fundamentally different.
What makes this book a three-star instead of four is the fact that later chapters seem a little bit repetitive to me. Based on the fundamental differences, Gray illustrated how men and women handle problems differently, their different emotional needs and many other aspects with abundant examples and elaborations. When I read the first paragraph of a chapter, I would know what the point is and and what the author is trying to say and suggest. On top of this, the perspective of this book is too 'Freud'. It is too one-sided. It talks about childhood experience, about unconscious effect, about repression, and many more. What about socialization? What about social norms? What about biological predispositions? If a boarder perspective was given, this book would worth a four-star.
But then, abundant examples and elaborations are probably good when one really encountered problems with their beloved ones. This is an excellent reference book on cross-sex communication. Easy to read and interesting. I will keep one on my bookshelf in case problems do arise in future. It is going to be a great counselor.
