Book Review: Men are from Mars Women are from Venus


After exchanging a few harsh words, I headed for the door. I was fired, irritable, and had heard enough. We had both reached our limits.

Then something started to happen that would change my life.

Bonnie said, "Stop, please don't leave. This is when I need you the most. I'm in pain. I haven 't slept in days. Please listen to me."

I stopped for a moment to listen.

She said, "John Gray, you're a fair -weather friend! As long as I'm sweet, loving Bonnie you are here for me, but as soon as I'm not, you walk right out that door."

Then she paused, and her eyes filled up with tears. As her tone shifted she said, "Right now I'm in pain. 1 have nothing to give, this is when 1 need you the most. Please, come over here and hold me. You don't have to say anything. I just need to feel your arms around me. Please don't go."

I walked over and silently held her. She wept in my arms. After a few minutes, she thanked me for not leaving. She told me that she just needed to feel me holding her.


The above are a few lines from the book Men are from Mars Women are from Venus by John Grey.

I was just orkutting when i found ebooks sharing community. i had not read any good book since my university days, and had no intention to read this one. but since i had nothing to better to do, i clicked on a random link and downloaded this book. and the above text not only forced me to read this book, but sparked a new zeal in me for the reading. man, was I going to miss something?

It’s a great book, A must read for everyone. This book gave me the courage to accept my mistakes. It taught me to be fair towards the fairer sex. It also taught me to appreciate the difference of approach between men and women. You can find thousands of books on this topic, but what makes this book special is the style. while others might bombard you with jargons and bore you to death, john grey keeps it simple yet interesting. once you start reading, you just cannot leave the book, nor you want to skip a word of it.

I feel I cannot do justice with this great book in this so-called review. All i can say is that when you read it, you will regret reading it so late....

and yes, if u need a soft copy, just email me. :)
