Summary: A general overview of gender issues in relationships
Comment: This academic work is a worthwhile read for college students in Psychology 101, or for those individuals interested in exploring the basic issues of gender as it relates to the successes and failures of romantic relationships in Western culture and society.

While many psychology books and articles typically raise more questions than they answer, Gender and Close Relationships was quite unsatisfying to read, because much of the material was not terribly informative and it did not answer some questions on the general gender issues it attempted to explore.

The generic case study-type examples sprinkled throguh chapters one through five made this part of the book engaged the reader, making the book easy to read.

However, after five chapters of close scholarship, the book appears to lose steam going into a somewhat related sub-topic (although interesting, this sub-topic deserves its own book.) So, the authors don't totally get back on track for the issue at hand.

Ultimately, the 'Why' of the book did not satisfy this reader.
