The Mars Venus Affair: Astrology's Sexiest Planets

If you're a novice, it's always helpful to see how planets combine--after all, that's the trickiest part of astrology. If you're at an advanced level (I've been at this for over 30 years), it's good to see another perspective. This type of book, by putting two planets together in interpretation, is much more accurate, and great fun at parties, especially, as here, when considering the planets of love and sex. Everyone will be greatly entertained as each person is "nailed". It's a good way to not only entertain, but to get others' interested/intrigued about astrology. Also, try Carolyn Reynold's *The Book of Lovers* for Sun/Moon combinations, which also considers gender. Very lively.

I loved this book. It's a great icebreaker -- fun and great for parties. I've got other Birthdate and astrological characteristics books, but this one is the most fun. The Perrys' wit is tongue-in-cheek and I can tell they're just the kind of people I'd like to invite to a dinner party. I'll be looking forward to their next endeavor.

I think The Mars Venus Affair is a really fun book. I don't know much about astrology but you really don't need to in order to enjoy this book. It's written in plain language and tells you which Mars-Venus combination you have and how it can influence your sex life. It was fun to read the celebrity biographies that describe each of the 144 categories. There were several celebrities I already knew something about, like Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo, and there were others I hadn't heard of. But they were all very interesting. It's kind of neat thinking you have the same combination of Mars and Venus as Marilyn Monroe or Greta Garbo.As much as I enjoyed this book at home, the real fun started when I took it to work and it got passed around the office. It really got people talking and giggling. It's probably a good book to have at a party to break the ice, or maybe for a bridal shower.
