      An abridgment of the popular novel about the differences between men and women discusses how Martians and Venusians each must remember and accept these differences. John Gray's voice is compassionate and open. He starts off with the story of how the Martians and Venusians came to Earth and got amnesia, which makes them forget they're from different planets. There are many good points to think about and tips for trying to past differences. The momentum in Gray's voice makes the listening go by quickly. J.F.M. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

      The metaphor Dr. Gray uses to describe the psychological separation between the sexes--that men and women are originally from different planets--is clever but oversimplified. Dr. Gray's presentation is upbeat and humorous, and it makes the nearly ten-hour audio production easy to listen to...at first. Many of his points are stressed and restressed--a device this audiobook really doesn't require, considering Gray's preponderance of examples and supporting arguments for each concept. The result is a feeling that the point has been pounded into one's brain. (For some of us, that might be a good thing!) This audiobook may not change your romantic life, but it's a positive step toward trying to unravel the mystery of the sexes. R.A.P. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine

      Psychotherapist Gray ( What You Feel You Can Heal ) adds to the growing number of self-help books that assess marital and relationship problems in terms of distinct and pervasive gender differences. Unfortunately, his overuse of gimmicky, often silly analogies and metaphors makes his otherwise down-to-earth guide hard to take seriously. Here Martians (men) play Mr. Fix-It while Venusians (women) run the Home-Improvement Committee; when upset, Martians ``go to their caves'' (to sort things out alone) while Venusians ``go to the well'' (for emotional cleansing). While graphically illustrative, the hyperbolic, overextended comparisons, particularly in the chapters that refer to men as rubber bands and women as waves, significantly detract from Gray's realistic insights.
