This book was as bad as I thought it was going to be. Even given the assumption, ok - perhaps she was the FIRST female to learn that men are dogs and that the only reason that I, as a female, recognize all of red flags is perhaps because Jane experienced them first, and documented them for the rest of us. Even, perhaps giving her the benefit of the doubt of being led down this path which we could all quite clearly see was only going to lead to heartbreak, that doesn't excuse the rest of her behavior. Her wallowing in self-pity for months, her vengeful research and writing project, or the fact that even though it was plain as day and everyone else knew, she couldn't see that her ex was involved with her coworker.
This book was dumb because this character was just plain stupid. She deserved everything that happened to her, and I hated the ending.

The expected tale of boy-meets-girls with some very intriguing sociological theories intertwined.

Laura Zigman has written a totally fun and witty novel about one woman's heartbreak and the desperation she has in proving it wasn't all because of her. I laughed, I sympathized. Jane Goodall embodies a gamut of emotions that comes with being dumped -- and believe me, we get to sample them all! This novel is wonderfully written and contains fascinating insight into male behavior. Easy to read and quick to get through, Animal Husbandry makes you a believer in the Old-Cow-New-Cow theory, and just as easily makes you think again.

I read this book almost ten years ago, but i remember that i loved to read it. It has one of the most extravagant theories that i've ever been presented to. The main character starts comparing human with animal behaviour.
And the insanity begins. :)

Not bad, although I admit I sometimes got distracted by the differences between it and the movie, which I had seen first and like a bit better.
