Critics Review
This is no Mars/Venus whimsy, but the conclusion fron twenty years of experiment
This is no Mars/Venus whimsy, but the conclusion fron twenty years of experiment * Evening Standard *

A thought-provoking take on the minds of men and women * Evening Standard *
A devastating new contribution to the gender debate…dynamite * Mail on Sunday *
The minds of men and women are very different - and here at last is the scientific proof… scholarly but never dry, this will definitely provoke lively discussion * Daily Mail *
