"As I tried to rate this book just now, I hovered over the stars that read "It was okay" and "I liked it," back and forth, for a while. It was okay. And I liked it. I didn't like it nearly as much as I liked Robert Johnson's similarly titled books, He and She. We follows the same structure as the other two books, using a myth to help illustrate a psychological structure. In this case, he attempts to illuminate romantic love through the story of Tristan and Iseulde but he warns us female readers right at the top that he's not really talking about us. Or to us, really - but he explains we might get something out of it anyway. Hmmm. I think I'd forgive him a little more quickly if he'd called this book "He II: He in Love". Or even just adding a word to its current title, making it"Understanding the MALE psychology of romantic love" There, now I like it. And I'll just have to wait til someone writes "WE: Understanding the FEMALE psychology of romantic love.""

"Containing only aimless mytho-babble
I didn't like this book! It was supposed to be some kind of a psychological interpretation of the "Tristan and Iseult" story. -But blaah, a bad one it is, certainly. Containing only loads of annoying, aimless mytho-babble... And do not read this book if you haven't read the story (like I)."
"nice insight into the origins of the western idealization of love, and its dynamic persistence until modern times. have to admit, after reading this book, romantic films are all 'blah!' now lol. jung fans will enjoy his use of mythology, and break down of the archetypes of tristan, isolde, and the king. enjoyed the book, but i have to say throughout the read, heavy patriarchial lens is noted. feminists, take that as you will, and enjoy if you can. :)"
