2.0 out of 5 stars Not so understanding, April 3, 2000

By A Customer

I did not like this book because it seemed to me that the author just went to the library and got all of his information for the book. He did not do a study of his own to confirm his findings. He just believed everybody elses research instead. Also he does not state why he believes this information to be true or why it would be true. There is some information that is helpful but it is very scientific and a little hard to understand without going back over it a couple times to review it. I have also read a book by Dr.Shettles and its very easy to understand and he explains why he believes all of his findings to be true. We will use Dr.Shettles' method.

2.0 out of 5 stars How to Have a Girl, July 6, 2001

By A Customer

I have to agree with the other comment on this book. When I bought this book, I also bought the Shettles method book. The Shettles book is a lot clearer and uses scientific evidence, along with actual testimonials, to back up its theories. The author of this book directly contradicts what Dr. Shettles says (which doesn't make sense since Dr. Shettles can prove his theories and this guy cannot)and he offers no proof of his theories. I'm trying for a girl and even though I haven't started yet, I plan to use the Shettles method.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked like a charm!, December 13, 2002

By A Customer

I disagree with the other reviewers. I used this book and followed all of the instructions (no small task!) and had a girl. Maybe it was just luck, but I recommend the book to everyone. The problem is that planning a girl takes a lot of effort - charting, temperature-taking, etc. - but I found the book clear and very easy to use.
