- (4/5)Interesting look at the effect hormones have on our lives and behaviors. I am not 100% convinced by the arguments, but it's a fascinting perspective, and has lots of information (albeit 10+ years old now, in 2009). I will be particularly interested in reading more recent data about menopausal hormone replacement.

Where do I begin with this one? The educational nature of this book was good. I learned about hormones and their roles in society. It was certainly interesting. This book was all together horrible in every other respect. It was terribly sexist. I understand that it was written by a woman but it pretty much called all men monsters. I get that there were some valid points in there, and I’m not saying the book contained incorrect information. However, it could have acknowledged that women have flaws as well.1 person found this helpful
