Pros
Book filled with tons of text and little space fillers – Yes.
Book offers a different spin (love dice) – Yes.
Book written from a writer interested in the matters of the heart – Yes.
Cons
Book written by a certified head doc – No. [Borrowing glamour-like love tests from a real head doc doesn't count]
Book worth purchasing…?
Well, if you’ve got time to munch + money to spend + curious mind = Yes, but it.
If money and time is limited: Dodge this bullet and look elsewhere on Amazon/bookseller of your choosing.
Two stars for a twist on the perception of chemistry + maturity in a relationship (love dice).
The downfall of this book arrived when Tarzan-the-writer swung too far into the realm of umm…a “swinger mentality”
Warning/Summary: It’s a sex-freeminded-type writer who is “open”, if you know what I mean, about lovin’. Affairs are condoned. With his love-dice advice/odds of finding a soulmate, it’s a more realistic odd that the reader will first find STDS before finding their soulmate.

I think I am like most people. I live on Earth, not Mars or Venus. This book is the most inciteful guide to the realities of beginning and maintaining a loving relationship. The ‘double sixes’ analogy is clever and very accurate. A simple, helpful and fun read!
Thanks!

This book was an eye-opener to me. I’ve had several relationships, though none have led to marriage. They always seem good at the start, but then something goes wrong. I was ready to give up on relationships before reading this book. Now I see that I was confused and didn’t know what love was. This book really clarified it. I think I can go on searching now and have more fun in the process. The “love dice” were really cute (and helpful)!

We are a married couple, but we like to read and do things to continually improve our marriage. This book is probably mostly for single people, but we also found it interesting and helpful for us. We especially liked the chapter on sprituality where it discussed the “spiritually advanced person” and the three primary personality types that are not spiritually advanced. We also liked the chapter on sexual fantasies – it has helped open our eyes to new ways of exploring our feelings and desires.
We feel lucky to already have a good love relationship as is described in this book. But many of our single friends are looking for good relationships, and we will certainly recommend that they read this.
