what parents are saying
This book was recommended to us in our venture to try for a boy. The advice and science behind it seems sound (though take his initial chapters on who should and shouldn't use this technique with a grain of salt), and very up front about how it's not an end-all be-all 100% effective method, which I appreciated. It's very dry for the most part, which was okay for me because it's supposed to be technical not entertaining, but my husband couldn't get through it because of that. The only thing that really bothered me about it was that it was very repetitive, and there was quite a bit of filler. I feel like this book could have easily been half as long as it was. When I finally got to where it summed it up at the end for having a boy, I felt like I could have probably just read those 20 pages and been done. (( If we end up successfully conceiving a boy, I will update this to "Love" ;) )) (Sep 15, 2016)
