The audio book was a bit slow to listen to. I found the points interesting but didn't feel as though though I was being presented with any revolutionary information.

Extremely informative and quite funny occasionally. A bit of a drag to read as a lot of the book goes through various studies and myths and analyses how truthful/trustworthy they are, but definitely important knowledge and very well explained.

Decent. But I wasn't interested in the neuroscience or the medical aspects (at least in the way it was written about here).

A clear-eyed and well-informed piece of work that effectively challenges the notion of a separately male and female brain with a characteristic British snark. There is just the human brain, with limitless possibilities. An important read for anyone interested in the way that gender is constructed, and the tangled web between biology and socialization.
A lot of overlap with Testosterone Rex by Fine — this one is a bit denser with (I think) a bit more academic rigor. I found it not super exciting to read, but gave me lots of examples and sources to look up after the fact. I want to make a class based on this book! But I did find myself worn down by it a bit.
