this is what happened....as i was reading thru the book,a lot of male reactions to certain situations i've come across personally and heard as experiences from my female friends kinda surfaced and made a lot more sense....and it does not explain Homer's Illiad.....it's just simple in-your-face facts.....very simple things that we women failed to take notice of....our bad!i take the book as an eye-opener.and it has totally changed the way i look at men and their behaviour....and has made me a much happier person :D and the book was co-written by a guy and a girl....u must read it sometime.it's worth it! :)
