I think that this book is quite good, but there is a tendency to be a little too absolute on how this has to be this, and that has to be that, when in reality, women are far to difficult to categorize quite that nicely. This is not a knock understand, it is just that there is a huge amount of personal variation among NORMAL women, and there seems to be a tremendous amount of anxiety on the part of NORMAL individuals that might not precisely follow the book.
