"This is one of my favorite books. I read it ages ago and have never forgotten the feelings that the book evoked in me. I loved the chapter about pregnancy."
"This book has some good questions in it, but I found it lacking from a science perspective. She writes as a journalist, which is nice, but there is a thing that some journalist writers do that drives me crazy. When you write about a study or evidence or a story or an experiment or an occurence of something happening, especially if that something bolsters your case, cite a reference for it there in the text and provide references in the back. This book completely lacks in this regard. I'd like to follow up on some of the research, but man oh man, good luck digging through the limited bibliography in the back to find where the author might have possibly gotten an idea that X effects Y so that Z changes into B.
