I have been fascinated by this book all throughout the Christmas vacation. The story is what kept me spellbound here and I don’t want to discuss the writing which seemed to me simply all right, professional and without major flaws. I was not expecting anything spectacular. It is not something that one would read line by line. At least not me. It’s a long book with a ton of repetitions. But it is captivating, nonetheless.Yes, I am on a mission.

I hated this book. I was expecting some great revelations from it and in the end... nothing, nothing at all. There is nothing new that you would learn from this book. The same old stereotypes that are given a scientific shape, brainy explanations. I was laughing with my husband that he has a female brain and I have a predominantly male one, because in our family h is the one who loves to talk, who is more social while I prefer solitary activities. Actually, apparently there has been a recent study which shows that men and women use roughly the same amount of words daily.
