Maybe this guy is going senile despite his massive supplementation...

This book generally covers what is known about Pheremones and human sexuality, along with its effect on other kinds of relationships (mother-child for eg).

First problem, the author writes in a VERY rambling style, sometimes repeating entire sentences verbatim on the same page. This, despite the information, is very tedious.

Second, the book uses a lot of technical jargon. One can easily figure out what is meant, but it makes reading a doubly onerous chore.

Third, the science behind pheromones is rather divided in opinion, though the author's bent is that "it works". I cannot agree or fault him there. All I can say is the jury is out, but he may well be right.

After all those caveats, the book is still definitely worth reading. Pheromones is a relatively unknown science and a reader should be grateful for anything they can get. The amount of information is great, and it makes a strong case for unconscious (undetectable) smells being a major lubricant of human interactions (especially sexuality).
