I'm Not in the Mood: What Every Woman Should Know About Improving Her Libido

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing
Review: In reading dozens of books on sex, I've noticed that books written by MD's are usually much more informative than books written by others. Hence, I wasn't surprised that Reichman's book was better than the typical book espousing scented candles, dim lights, and other such glib superficialities as the panacea for all sexual problems. That said, I was nevertheless disappointed by this book. There were too many factual errors and inconsistencies in it (as a doctor, I think I'm qualified to say that). Even some drug names were misspelled -- not a big deal, perhaps, but if a doc can't correctly spell the name of a drug, one wonders if commensurate care was given to the other facts presented. In this case, I was disappointed. The professionalism of the book was further eroded by Reichman's frequent puns and attempts at interjected humor. I have nothing against doctors showing their human side, but when Reichman did it, it seemed stilted, not natural. I could excuse all of these drawbacks if the book were packed with more information, but its scope was very narrow and there was so much the author could have said that she did not.

Summary: Useful!
Review: Questions about libido come up every day in clincal practice. . .and this book fits the need for a succinct resource / discussion of options in management. Every obgyn practitioner should read this book and have it available for patient education.

Summary: You can find more complete info in other books.
Review: This book seems likes an attempt to cash in on the growing interest of women in testosterone deficiency. Rako's book gives more complete information. Also, Reichman's style tries so hard to be cute & entertaining that it felt patronizing to me.
