I enjoyed this book and it was a fun conversation starter. However, I am not as thrilled with some of the style elements. They tried to make the book so that you can jump in at any point which although a nice thought made the book very clunky and repetitive for those reading straight through. There were also a lot of points made that, in my opinion, required a very large leap of logic. Overall, it was fun and I would recommend it as a fun, non-fiction read.

This book focused heavily on sex as a motivating factor in all aspects of life. Very interesting way of thing about the way we think. Definitely would recommend it.
