Judson's stylistic conceit -- various species writing to an advice column about their sex lives -- is clever and well-done, although it does get tired upon repetition. Her prose is lively and entertaining, remarkably so for what often boils down to biological studies of insects. What I really found invaluable about this book was her insistence that people look at real science rather than a few pseudo-scientific ideas that support various social standpoints. I wish I'd had this back when I lived in the Midwest and constantly had people telling me that women had to stay home with the kids because of "biological design." Buy this book and use it to hit people who try to tell you their bullshit bigotry is supported by scientific research.
