Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have read more than half the book.This book brings out the what society preaches in public and what public practices in private.Its a basic and higly accesible version for a wonderful subject. In some chapters the authors "deviates" and just shows the supportive arguments for his thoughts....but doesn't provide "critical"/"balanced" view..(he does so in that chapter on gender).
