Summary: Thoroughly Fascinating, it was hard to put down!
Comment: Unable to read through the book in one setting, I found myself desperately trying to find ways to get back to it as soon as possible. Who would have thought that you could take the subject of sexual reproduction and evolutionary biology and made it into such a thoroughly entertaining read?
The author chose an advice column format with letters supposedly from crickets, stick bugs, stickleback fish and dozens of other creatures asking advice about their sexual situation. Needless to say most of it is fascinating and highly unnatural - for a human that is, but perfectly normal for them. Some of the situations she describes are so bizarre as to be beyond what one would expect from even the best science-fiction writers.
Olivia Judson is to be applauded for writing an educational book that is so thoroughly entertaining that it does not seem like you are actually being taught in the process. But you will learn and you will walk away with a completely different view of nature and reproduction. I was so thoroughly fascinated with the book that all I can say at this point is "Encore, encore".

Summary: Entertaining Romp Through the Animal Sexual Battleground
Comment: We live in a very kinky world. Promiscuity, genitalia issues and sexual insecurities are severe problems that affect most of the planet's creatures. Thank goodness for sex columnist Dr.Tatiana. Informed and confidential she eases many a worried soul from nymphomaniac stick insects to homosexual manatees. Unfortunately she doesn't seem too interested in helping humans, perhaps because sexually we are very boring creatures. Dr.Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation by Olivia Judson is a fascinating and entertaining romp through the sexual battleground of animals, big and small, simple and complex. You will laugh out loud, shake your head and be thoroughly absorbed at the incredible sexual antics described, explained and prescribed. Through her advice to the lovelorn writing to her in desperation on such troubling issues as necrophilia, sex changes and male pregnancy, Dr. Tatiana enlightens us on the evolutionary biology of sex in an often humorous, always interesting and never tedious manner. Olivia Judson has created a real winner with Dr.Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation. It is an impressively researched, enjoyable and very original read and afterwards you'll breathe a sigh of relief for being merely a dull human.

Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Comment: A fascinating read, with a humorous and quirky "sex advice column" approach. Who knew the many various ways in which we reproduce? And you though human sex could get wild! Research on the topic of sex is delivered in a very easy-to-read format that'll have you very entertained even as your eyes are opened to the ideas of incest being okay in some species, more than two genders, the rarity of monogamy, the evolutionary arguments of homosexuality, and many more. Sure, you might know that the lady praying mantis tries to dine on her lover in the act, but did you know why? Do you know how common it is to engage in self-pleasure? Or when it's in a male's best interests to masquerade as a female? Pick up the book and find out; you won't be disappointed!
