I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, written by current CSULA professor. Even for those not studying psychology, this book is easy to understand and insightful. I definitely recommend this book.

The book is really good and service was good as usual. The Mating Game is more informative about many interesting topics and not all just about intercourse.

Bought for a class. It was ok.
