While I disagreed with sections in this book (which I don't find a bad thing), there was a lot I found agreeable. However, I've given it this semi-low rating because of those sections (esp the chapter about marriage) are of considerably lower quality than the rest of the book (most noticeably the previous chapter). Perry's focus on the biological aspect, while unique, often led to her being blindsided by how social factors can also change both economic factors and our internal thoughts (the dialectic). In addition to this, it leads to Perry falling for the same naturalistic fallacy that she accuses her detractors of doing (once again, the marriage chapter is a large example of this).
