Just like "The Female Brain", this book is full of the latest physiological information and makes interesting reading. There were, however, not too many surprises, and I confess that I read Allan and Barbara Pease's books with much greater enjoyment because they treat the same subject, if less thoroughly, with a much more appealing sense of humour. Furthermore, as this book is aimed at the lay reader, I found the annotated reading list far too long. Half as many titles would have been too many, but the book might have been only half the price. Finally (and this is probably an unfair gripe), why are American authors so keen to adopt twee vocabulary? "The Daddy Brain"?! Such terminology surely does not belong into a book which aspires to provide detailed and accurate information.
