This book is quite interesting. It explores the surprising similarities between the way the brain functions with relation to religion and sex. With quotes from Freud, the Bible and even Star Wars, the author has an approachable and direct style. The part dealing with religion includes not only the big ones, but also smaller belief systems that were unknown to me. Even some tenets of other religions that are not my own were surprising and fun to learn. At times the writing was a little dry for me, but in general it was illuminating. Coming from a Catholic background, the author put into context a few of the things I learned from my Grandma or the nuns at my school. For people who enjoy reading about the human body.
I chose to read this book and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Thank you, NetGalley/Turner Publishing Company.

I was very interested in this topic as I was raised in a deeply conservative family where sex was considered extremely verboten. I would have loved to have had this book back then, toss it on the dinner table! What an interesting concept, that sex and god are actually indistinguishable when measured methodically in the human brain. I really enjoyed this eye-opening book and am grateful for the ARC.
