Title: At last, something other than the author's opinion!
Product review: As a doctoral candidate, I enjoyed (up to a point) this book from an academic perspective. Well-rooted in current, valid research, Leil takes the mystery out of falling in love. Unfortunately, as a woman, that's my greatest criticism of the book--where is the spirituality? Where is the tenderness? The magic? Are we simply ruled by our hormones, after all? My second criticism of the book stems from her ideas about gaining the love of a "Jerry" (a never-married man over 35) which consists of fulfilling his kinky sexual fantasies. Her advice here seems glib and does not take into account the complex personal and social reasons behind a fear of intimacy. Finally, if you're seeking marriage, the techniques do not seem to have "worked" for the author--she talks about various lovers, all former, but never mentions a spouse.
