About this title: Saturn was the infamous Roman god who ate his children in an attempt to stop them from usurping his power. Men throughout history have been psychologically and spiritually burdened by the Saturnian legacy, suffering from the corruption of empowerment, driven by their fear of women and other men, and wounding themselves and others. These and many other issues are addressed, suggesting concrete ways in which men may reclaim their sense of personal integrity.

"I liked this book. Hollis might not have most fluid writing style of all time, but he sheds some light on important issues in the lives of men. My main critique of this book is the dualism between mother and father / feminine and masculine. I don't think it was his intention to be so off putting when describing "the mother complex," but it was irritating when he wrote things like "maternal monster" and "...positive male energy...when present it helps model and counterbalance the regressive pull of the maternal complex." I agreed with his main point on that topic...that men need to see how their relationship with their mother affects their adult lives and issues, but i don't think that all mothers are doomed to be smothering or somehow absent in their sons' lives. Interesting book though!"
"Liked the literary quotes better than the main text. Became impatient with repetitive style. Discussion with bookies was interesting but lacked a male perspective."
