Reviews

* In this terrifically witty, hugely engaging study of the way we love, Mary Roach does meet some real oddballs, and on almost every page she tells you something to make you gasp aloud or snort with laughter -- Toby Clements Telegraph * Roach certainly gets full marks for unflinching commitment to the job in hand ... Bonk contains everything you ever wanted to know about the science of sex but were too afraid to ask. -- PD Smith Saturday Guardian Review * Roach puts her quick wit to good service in this entertaining romp through sex research. Her unshockability is contagious, and ultimately reassuring. -- Gail Vines Independent * When Mary Roach is seized by a subject, there is no stopping her: she is full-on, hands-on, and her lab coat is unbuttoned. -- Iain Finlayson The Times * Eye-opening ... compelling stuff. -- Tom Boncza Tomaszewski Independent On Sunday * A bold, tenacious and insatiable reporter, Roach ... could make an earthworm evisceration riveting and a hemispherectomy seem downright jolly. Scotsman * Bonkers, but brilliant. Easy Living * The pithiest, wittiest writer on the subject since Woody Allen Saga Hair-raising in parts, hilarious in others. -- Katie Law Evening Standard * Roach marries enthusiasm and curiosity with unflagging humour while she intrepidly braves the "lurching tango of acadame and popular culture", rising to a passionate and playful, if not wholly penetrating, climax. -- Anita Sethi Independent on Sunday
