The parts on first apporaches, first meetings, first dates, controlling first impressions and body language of couples falling in love was very good. It was also insightful (for example 66% of relationships are initiated by women non-verbally), and that repeated looking/smiling were the most successful strategies for getting a man to initiate a conversation.

As the book progressed, however, I got less and less satisfied. Sometimes I got very irritated. She kept apologising for re-inforcing traditional gendered behaviours because "they work" but the problem with her claims is that this book is aimed at making someone fall in love, and not just about initial seduction. The behaviours she describes work only until you want the relationship to last on an equitable basis - what is on offer here is a handbook on seduction, plus recommendations on how to accelerate the end of the relationship once it gets serious. This is not a book about how to stay in love, only attract a lover.

For those interested in the latter - see the first 4 chapters of Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say (Warren Farrell) - the communication skills in those 4 chapters are far better than anything on offer here.
