The core idea of this book, the colour wheel theory of love itself, is really interesting. Of course, it is not an exhaustive taxonomy, but even the author acknowledges it, and it is still the best theory of love I've seen.
As for the book itself, though, it falls into the common pitfall of nonfiction books of being much longer than needed. The brief explanation of different love types in the first chapter is basically enough to understand the entire theory. Next chapters provide detailed explanations for every love type, which helped me understand them a bit more. Most of them were boring, some bits of information were interestint. The last chapter about love in the media was not interesting for me because it was basically a list of summaries of different romantic novels, so I had to skip it.
