Hilarious + brilliant. As I have stated 100 times before, live and breathe by: People don't care about the history of things or why they are the way they are, people are looking for practical applications. Ideally people want to laugh when finding out  what to do. Rachel Thompson delivers on both, for men and women.Who cares whether Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, this author makes us laugh about the "good old issues". Very swiftly and talented she breaks any possibly existing ice by stating at the beginning:"I also used to sell Trojan brand condoms. Yeah, it's hilarious, I know. I did it for three years way back when, and I was their top salesperson in the Western Region, a dubious honor at best."From there she takes off: Every possible issue between men and women gets dissected and laughed about: from the famous "toilet paper roll"-thing (in a Q&A; joke) to code words/sentences like "I am tired".Rachel Thompson makes rules to remember. Once you read the story that goes with the rule you will laugh so hard that you can never forget the rules (e.g.):"If we team cook, we team clean, damn it. It is written. Um, somewhere. At least, it is now.""But we need our closet space. It's kind of a prerequisite for marriage."If it wasn't for D's story, "A Walk in the Snark", would be all fun. Then again, D's sad story adds depth to the book and makes it clear that Rachel Thompson is a serious person with the immense talent to tell important topics in such a funny manner that every reader wants to hear what she has to say.5 stars all the way; I will read more from this author.Gisela Hausmann - author and blogger
