DSI: DATE SCENE INVESTIGATION The Diagnostic Manual for Dating Disorders

Helping women recognize men who are not relationship material is Kerner's focus, and the subject matter is narrated with mind-numbing gravitas by the sex-expert author. However, what's useful is that hearing the men described one after the other allows the listener to see the entire male landscape more objectively. But, entertaining as it is, the material is almost entirely anecdotal and falls short of providing any organizing insights women can use when dealing with men's personality and emotional issues. The second complaint is the cutesy framing of this lesson as an investigative crime show with its overly serious narration and silly terms like "dating diagnostic" and "missing boyfriend unit." The artifice makes the program sound dumbed-down. T.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 06/ JAN 07]
