Review title: This book is only going to feed misconceptions about genes..
Product review: This book is only valuable in its intent, but the execution could not be more poorly done. Its oversimplified style makes this book accessible to most any reader, yet sacrifices accuracy for the sake of attracting the pop psychology/pseudoscience crowd. Hamer and Copelands biggest mistake is to underplay the roles of multiple genes in affecting behavior, and instead give a kindergarten level account of "one gene, one behavior" that is flat out incorrect and hugely disappointing. Added on top of the scientific oversimplification/inaccuracy is a writing style that is insulting to the intelligence of many readers, and flat out insulting in some of its sexist, racist, and lewd commentary. My suggestion is to avoid this book, but if you're reading it without a solid scientific background, PLEASE take this with a grain of salt and use it as a stepping stone to get to works that don't sacrifice truth for readability.
