I must say this is an incredibly belated review. Dr. Block graciously allowed me to review her book last year. I will say it took me a while to read it; although just over 200 pages, Dr. Block has loaded her book with footnotes and observations and I am one who can’t resist reading and researching each one. If you’re like me – it may take some time; if you can ignore this; however, it is an entertaining read that weaves the comparisons between the Bonobo and Human Sexuality & Socialization.

In this book, she covers a wide range of concepts, interests and thoroughly outlines her paradigm (some of my favorite sections being: 50 Shades of Bonobo, Ethical Hedonism in addition to Mix Food & Sex. The beauty is each chapter is truncated into easily digestible sections. This book is packed with information,suggestions in addition to resources on how to actually help the Bonobo – which in itself is pretty amazing.
