This was a page turner like no other book I read.  The further I read, the more I felt I was going to be given some secret to the universe. It didn’t disappoint either.   However, if you want a novel with an engaging plot, don’t read this book.  It’s pretty much an anthropological lecture wrapped in a simple story.  But, if you want a book that will give you a greater insight on how the world you live in came to be, read this book!

Human sexuality makes a lot more sense after reading this book!  If you are confused about why women are wired to have sex for hours while men can only last minutes?  Or why middle aged men are willing to risk everything, including their family and career, for a fling with a young woman?  Read this book!

If you believe that monogamy is natural or that God made us to only mate with one individual for the rest of your life, you may have a hard time reading this book. But for the open-minded, a great read!
