This book is so insightful as to how abusive men think and act. It was challenging to read from how heavy it got at times and the topic of abuse and the victims of abuse is never an easy pill to shallow. I would recommend this book to everyone

It is a fairly heavy topic but is extremely informative and helpful for both women and men.

cnsgirl's review against another edition

Lundy is Anti Vax.
Lundy is a TERF.

This book might have some beneficial insight, given its popularity. 

I personally cannot trust an author who holds those views to be a consistently enough sound source of insight, and I will read other books in Lundy's place.

Should be required reading for all women, mental health professionals and those who work in related fields. A bit dated but still unbelievably valuable.
