He made some very valid points, though I felt that many of them should ALREADY be obvious to woman everywhere (i.e. On one hand, I admire the fact that Steve Harvey gives it to you straight and without a TRACE of subtlety (or sugar-coating if you will), the reasons why the majority of men ARE the way they are, and why we, as women, are unknowingly encouraging them to continue bad habits. Ok so, I definitely have mixed feelings about this book.
