LOVED IT. The different aspects of sex and science that the author explores are fascinating, and her writing is smart and funny. Just like in “Stiff” she goes a little overboard on the footnotes, with about one note on the bottom of every page. Luckily, these notes are hilarious or cringe-worthy (often they're both), making them worth the disruption of the main narrative.

Basically Mary Roach has been one of my favorite authors, and this book puts her solidly at the top of the heap.
