1. 5/5

   Helt underbar bok ...

   Den här boken är helt underbar, och ett MÅSTE för alla som någonsin har undrat vari skillnaden ligger mellan kvinnor och män. Boken är rolig och underhållande från början till slut, men innehåller så många sanningar att den omöjligt kan klassas som bara underhållning. Köp den. Seriöst. Den är definitivt värd det. Om du orkar med engelskan, vill säga.
