What a huge letdown! Totally overrated. This subject truly fascinates me, but the author merely builds on the research of others and pads it with quotes from popular literature, poetry and song lyrics, as though that proves a point. If you take out all those quotes it's probably half as thick. It's like she just googled "Love" and included every quote she could find. Reads like a so-so undergrad paper. The only thing the author herself actually brings to the table is the notion that certain neurotransmitters may play a role the body's chemistry during times of heightened emotion, and that's still based on the research of others and is in no way a new theory. Also unsettling is her complete failure to acknowledge the late Dorothy Tennov who practically invented the investigative study of romantic love. She clearly references Tennov's work yet does not go so far as to name her. But this Helen Fisher is the talking head we get whenever the media wants an expert on the subject. Read Stendhal's "Love" and Tennov's "Love and Limerence"... Helen Fisher is a snake.
