Summary: Men should Read this book all over the world Best read ever.
Review: Reading this book was the best thing I ever did. The reason I say this is that I am a male and I was very hopeless at being one until I read this book. It taught me the facts in easy understandle terms of how to 1.Understand me 2. Express my self Clearer 3.Most improtant of all how to understand women in a very thoughtful way and in a way I had never looked at before. I have loved this book so much I tell every women and man about it infact I have had 4 copies and I have given them to friends who are struggling with their relationships and told them to read it to help. I have also the book on CD=ROM which is awesome too. This book is well written, very easy to understand and the best read ever. To sum up if I had heaps of money and I would buy it for all of my friends over the world and send them a copy. this book is written to both sexes and address a lot of issues and gives you practicle ways of achieveeing it and it also helps to understand each others languages in how we might express ourselfs or how we might act. It changed my thinking and attitude and also turned my life around it can also do the same for you if you let it.

Summary: Excellent book no matter what shape your relationship's in!
Review: The best endorsement I can give this book is that I took it out from the library and I want to give it to my spouse to read. When I read this book I was apalled that I could be married for so many years and still have such a poor understanding of women. This book gave me a lot of useful insights into why she tries to be helpful and I intrepret it as nagging, or I don't listen enough to her talk about her problems and she interprets it as my not caring. The best parts are the sections that tell you "When she says... she really means" and "When he says... he really means."Although admittedly my spouse probably understands me a lot better than I do her, I think this book will at least provide the foundation for a more meaningful dialogue. Definitely required reading for husbands! It gets an enthusiastic "thumbs up" from me. P.S. The woman who wrote "Self Absorbed Males Get Excused Again" totally missed the point.

Summary: Relates to both genders and improves yourself first.
Review: Gray's comparison about men being from Mars and women being from Venus is very reasonable. It helps to explain why they are so different. Men and women view situations very differently and respond in different ways, and Gray helps the reader to see what the other is thinking at times. Although while reading this book and trying to use the information it can be frustrating because every relationship is not uniform and does not work the same way. This is where Gray also shows that it is a relationship and it takes both people to keep the love going. You yourself has to make changes it can't be a one-way street. He encourages the acceptance of the other gender's way. Fulfilling loving relationships and the emotional needs is what Gray wants the readers to realize. He shows both not only have to be able to ask for support but also return it. Gray wants the reader to learn how to keep the love alive by giving situations and what to do when a problem occurs. He also shows what each one can do in order to prevent an argument. This helps to show the reader that it is useless to fight over petty things. Gray show us one of the most important things is to be understanding and considerate, and the relationship will improve tremendously. When a person is negative and doesn't enjoy their position in the relationship it takes them nowhere, therefore proving Grays logic it started of to make each other happy. No matter how hard a person trys they can't make a reltionship work without love. I think the book is great. It helped me to see what is really meant and how to solve problems. I think couples should read it together in order to help improve their relationship to a new level. It would not hurt to take the step and see what the book could do for the relationship. You never know how it could help until you try to improve it. If you don't want to try then maybe it wasn't meant to work.

Summary: helps sort out confusion in relationships
Review: I think the book is great. In the past I have heard some people complain that it makes too many generalizations and makes women doormats, but really it helps explain how to avoid being treated badly by men. The so-called Dragon who burns you if you come too far into a "Martian's cave" is a reality. Women who try to change their men and intrude on the time they may need to sort things out only end up getting burned. The book does acknowledge that it is possible to elicit changes, but also that there are times when it's more appropriate to attempt this..................... As for the advice for men regarding women, it is quite good. There are so many misunderstandings because most men do not realize what women are really saying. Things are taken literally, resulting in frustration on the woman's part because she is not being understood, and on the man's part because his inappropriate responses only cause further upset for the woman. Helping people to understand this can greatly improve communication between the sexes................... I think everyone should read this book. It can help in all sorts of relationships, not only the romantic ones. It is acknowledged in the book that some people may see in themselves parts that are like what's usually seen in the opposite sex, which is perfectly normal. Understanding this, we can better communicate and have relationships with all of the people in our lives, by realizing where they stand and coming up with appropriate responses........................................ I loved the book and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Summary: Self-absorbed males get excused again!
Review: If all you want to learn is how to tolerate the self-absorbed male you live with, have at it! Yet another in a long line of books designed to convince females that it's okay if he's an oafish, selfish, non-communicative fixture who believes the only needs that count are his own. So he's in his cave again? Surely you can take care of all the problems that crop up in a household, by yourself, because he needs his cave-time. Hog wash! When women get equal cave-time, communication problems will resolve themselves. Meantime, don't waste your money on this sexist tripe.

Summary: Eye opener. Everyone needs to read this book
Review: This book open up my eyes. I didn't know there was a big difference between men and women. I knew there was but not as big as I found out while reading the book. Everyone should be required to read this book.

Summary: One of my least favorite books.
Review: Though John Gray does offer a couple of interesting insights, I consider the majority of this book junk that is unfit for reading. I found his writing style simplistic and insulting. And his attempts NOT to stereotype the sexes is a failure. I found this book very sexist, overly-simplistic, and perpetuating arguable oppresive gender roles. Obviously, it is also very heterosex-centered. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Popcorn self help
Review: The one good thing about this book is that it is well organized. It is poorly written and low in substance. It left me feeling that the author understands neither gender more than a lay person. Its popularity, in my view, makes it a marketing masterpiece.

Summary: Read Susan Hamson's Counterpoint!
Review: Some readers claim that John Gray has helped save their marriage. Others argue that his views are shallow, sexist and condescending to women. One certainty is that there is no way that John Gray's book(s) can be fully appreciated without reading Susan Hamson's informative (and at times scathing) counterpoint. This can be achieved by visiting her website, creatively titled "The Rebuttal from Uranus" < or by reading her views along side Gray's in "Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in Human Sexuality," edited by Robert T. Francoeur and William J. Taverner. Bill Taverner Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in Human Sexuality

Summary: BAD
Review: This book is superficial and stereotypes people. It is the worst of the pop psych genre. For really good books read THE ANGRY MARRIAGE BY DR. BONNIE MASLIN. This is the best of its kind and it really can open your eyes to the self defeating patterns couples can get locked into. Debra Tannen is also worth a read.
