The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts by Gary Chapman
3.0
I've been recommended this book in the past, and I keep coming across references to the languages in other books or discussions etc, so I finally picked it up.
It is short, has a lot of examples in the form of people's stories and is generally a really easy read. For me it was a bit heavy on the assumption that the reader is married and in a stage where the marriage isn't going well, as well as the frequent mention of Christianity. However, I was able to look past that for the most part.
The languages are explained well, I like the distinction of speaking different dialects of them as well as the warning that using these to control someone else is not the way it works. Overall glad I read it, mainly because of the clarifications that the people referring to the different languages never seem to get into.
