Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex Review
This is a marvelous book written in typical Roach-style. She researches researchers and gives you the juicy information from their work. This is truly informational book, as are the rest of her books. Another reviewer called this book scatter brained, which it is. She leaves you wanting to know more about the research because she makes it sound so interesting. I received Bonk today and I'm already three chapters in. Not to say that it's an easy read, but because it's so hard to put the book down. I've also read Spook and Stiff. I can firmly say that Roach is one of my favorite authors.

Well written, very accessible, scientifically sound - Stefanie Wolf -
Fantastic read. One of the very few research books that I don't find myself laboring through language just to parse out the information. Her humor helps, but the geek in me really appreciates her knowledge of statistics. She doesn't just throw studies at you in hopes of making a point - she genuinely read them through and through and lets you know if their methods or validity is shoddy. And it's quite obvious that she ENJOYED writing this, which is really fantastic in the sexual world where people tend to become too clinical in order to not be raunchy. Definite recommendation.
The Science of Sex - Harry W. Koerner, Jr. - Oriental, NC
Hilarious, illuminating. The author has followed her threads in the field like a bloodhound. She graphically covers her topics, with her asides and footnotes that left me roaring with laughter. Her husband must be of a very open ind to have participed in her work, and my hat is off to him as well. Terrific! So, what is the next subject after books on sex and death?
best book about sex, ever! - A. L. Oexner - Providence, RI
best book ever. loved her dry wit, as well as her tireless pursuit of the scientific explanation of sexual excitement and arousal.
