Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus: A Practical Guide for Improving Communication and Getting What You Want in Your Relationships
by John Gray
Reviewing reviews. (9/23/2010)
As I searched for book reviews on the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" to assist me while I explain in better words and ideas to my classmates, I noticed a few bitter people on here under the impression that the writer has something against women.

It is sort of frustrating to read reviews like this. All I could see in a couple of reviews were women looking for problems within the text, flinging mud at the author and calling him sexist. One of the biggest issues in relationships (at least that I have noticed) is that one person is trying to fix the relationship that has issues, but when the person goes in with the idea that their relationship is unfixable, they will often coming out where they started. When a person is trying to mend something that they have repeatedly failed at in the past, maybe they are doing something wrong, and should maybe try things from a different aspect. Also, I noticed the comment explaining men just go into their caves and he (the author) excuses it. I am guessing that what the reviewer was reading was an example of what a husband might do when he feels he cannot fix his wife's problem. I'm sure he isn't saying that these actions are excusable, just what some do. Maybe those who went in reading this story with a poor attitude, should try re-reading it with a more positive, open-minded attitude and maybe they'll come out benefiting from the techniques provided.
