Compelling... the book's final and probably most controversial argument is a treat for those who simply enjoy a good idea (Guardian)

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)
