Hats off to Lisa Diamond for this book. Even though there's a bit of sampling bias and limitation in her longitudinal study (which could easily be remedied by better grants and more research assistants; no doubt after this book she'll be in a better position to get that), the findings she uncovers are doubtless invaluable to the field of sex research, and will hopefully be taken seriously by the scientific community and laypersons alike. For common readers, the book is very accessible, easy to read, and Diamond is at once an unbiased yet warm narrator, which keeps her more dry explanations from becoming close to boring. A great read for both academics and casual readers alike--I've taken sexuality classes, but read this for pleasure and enjoyed it immensely.
