This was just not that great. I could definitely tell that the author is just a doctor, not a writer. I know that it's a book about medicine but I feel like it could have been far more engaging. Chapter after chapter of the same "how this system works" and then "how it's different for men and women." Sometimes it felt like I was reading WebMD. I did kind of enjoy it still because I really like physiology but mehhh.

Also, I felt like the author jumped to conclusions sometimes. One instance I remember is on page 177 after discussing how women are less likely to be given pain medication than men he concludes that it can't be due to discrimination because medical staff is both male and female. I felt like this was such a shallow way of understanding the situation. That's a pretty good way to sum up this book, honestly. Very broad, but shallow. Lots was covered but I never felt like I really dove deep into anything.
