The questions in this book, as is probably obvious from the title, cover the subjects of love, sex, and relationships. They are, in general, a bit deeper and more thought-provoking than those in the original "Book of Questions;" they're also definitely of an adult nature. I think this book is best for self-exploration purposes, in which you answer some of the questions for yourself and learn a few things you might not have known before. It can also be good for learning more about your relationship. If you're willing to talk about these with your lover or spouse they can bring about greater openness, but I do have one reservation here. Some of these are going to be tough questions on difficult topics (fidelity, in thought and deed, comes up quite often, for example) and could conceivably lead to arguments rather than closeness under the wrong circumstances.

Like "The Book of Questions" this is a small book, capable of fitting in a reasonably large pocket. It includes 243 questions, plus follow-ups to a handful of them. The questions in this book seem more predictable, but then they do cover one narrow range of topics.

You could still use this book as a conversation-starter, like the last one, but only with people you feel comfortable talking about such intimate issues with. You can still use it as inspiration for writing purposes, but mostly just in cases where your characters have relationship issues to explore and you want to get a better handle on them.

The book is very simple--pretty much just the questions, one or two to a small page, with white space surrounding them--Dr. Stock wanted to make sure he didn't give the impression of any kind of "correct" answer, so there's no discussion in the book at all. He wanted the discussion provoked by the questions to reflect entirely the beliefs and thoughts of the people having the discussion, and I think that's a great way to approach things.

This book has really helped me keep the phone conversations with my boyfriend moving. He is in the military, it's long distance, and these questions... while serious... really give us something to talk about. We make it fun and lighthearted, so it works for us!

If you're thinking about buying this book because you want to ask questions of your lover and get to know them better, buy it! You won't be disappointed. It's helped me to get to know another side of my boyfriend, and it's really helped us to stay close while he's away.

There are a lot of good questions, some sort of redundant ones, and some that might be a little too person for you to ask. But if you are open to talking about all aspects of love and sex, then it's perfect for you. It's small and easy to read!

Overall, the questions in this book were on the "curiosity" side than the "getting to know you" approach. Some of the ideas were excellent -- many were hypothetical situation which would never happen.

This book seems like it is more designed for a sleepover with your closest friends, than it is for couples who are wanting to make sure they know each other before going forward. That's not a bad thing.

I was looking for something specifically for couples and did find 1000 Questions for Couples that really fit the bill at questionsforcouples. com

Really great for parties of 10-15 people, especially if you all know each other fairly well already. These are not the kinds of things you want to share with complete strangers.

This book is so much fun! My Husband and I ask the questions back and forth and it always makes for a good laugh! This is the perfect book to cuddle on the couch with and have a glass of wine! It's also great for parties, or to get conversations started almost anywhere. I love the senerio questions and the ones that make you choose between some of the most important things in life! You'll love this book! I promise!!

Even after 10 years of dating and marriage - my husband and I found so many new things to talk about using this book as a guide. Now I buy it as an engagement present for all my friends and family!

Could be a true test of ones self if you choose to be honest. Fun game to play with others.

this book is excellent. the condition in which it was recieved is too satisfactor standards. I am quite intriqued with the content and pleased with my purchase. the pricing was adequate

My friends and I have a great time randomly selecting questions from this book and going around the room answering them. Great as an icebreaker or just as interesting conversation starters.

Ever wondered where your partner stood on major issues that may effect you in the long term???? This is a fun way of making sure you are really the people you think each other are. Its amazing what you can learn about each other.
