It is 1997, and in a basement flat in Hackney, Isla Green is awakened by a call in the middle of the night: her father phoning from Sydney. Thirty years ago, in the suffocating heat of summer 1967, the Greens’ next-door neighbor Mandy disappeared. At the time, it was thought she had fled a broken marriage and gone to start a new life; but now Mandy’s family is trying to reconnect, and there is no trace of her. Isla’s father, Joe, was allegedly the last person to see her alive, and now he’s under suspicion of murder.

Well written and compelling story

Character development and storyline. It was an easy read but one of those books you don’t want to read too fast.

Studying zoology made Lucy Cooke feel like a sad freak. Not because she loved spiders or would root around in animal feces: All her friends shared the same curious kinks. The problem was her sex. Being female meant she was, by nature, a loser. Since Charles Darwin, evolutionary biologists have been convinced that the males of the animal kingdom are the interesting ones—dominating and promiscuous, while females are dull, passive, and devoted. But Cooke tells a new story.

Exciting and compelling data told in a kind of story format.

Honestly, I never expected to like this book. But, I couldn’t stop listening to Lucy. Cook share her research and completely change the way I look at science in general. I won’t say more because it’s for each reader to discover her findings. She and especially her voice, make the book come alive with humor, sensitivity, compassion, and hyper intelligence. BRAVO.!

Men have been the dominant sex since - well, the dawn of mankind. And yet, as journalist Hanna Rosin discovered, that long-held truth is no longer true. At this unprecedented moment, women are no longer merely gaining on men; they have pulled decisively ahead by almost every measure. Already "the end of men" - the phrase Rosin coined - has entered the lexicon as indelibly as Simone de Beauvoir’s "second sex", Betty Friedan’s "feminine mystique", Susan Faludi’s "backlash", and Naomi Wolf’s "beauty myth" have.

Empowering, enlightening and cautionary
Revisado: 12-11-12
If you could sum up The End of Men in three words, what would they be?
Same as my title - Empowering, enlightening and cautionary
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The author used real data from a variety of sources to write a very compelling, thought provoking book that is told primarily via storytelling. It speaks to the changes in gender roles over the past several decades and where women are now and appear to be going in the future. It's not necessarily a cheer-leading book for women, or a dire prediction of the future of men, but it speaks to an exciting time full of opportunities for women now and in the future. As a working mother of three boys, the book has helped change my perspective and may change the way I'm raising my boys. So sorry my little princes.
What does Laural Merlington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Laural did a great job of making the stories pop off the page and come to life! (I've read the actual book and am just about finished with the Audible version). She moves from data to stories to quotes easily and effectively.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book made me think, ponder and has prompted many a discussion with friends and colleagues.
Any additional comments?
Great book - very highly recommended. All women should read it. And men should too if they want to succeed in life and in business over the next few decades.
