4.0 out of 5 stars Tough questions; difficult answers, January 7, 2005
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars More Questions, June 6, 2002
By A Customer
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for parties, December 13, 1999
By A Customer
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.
