Non-fiction, best placed in the relationship area, this is all about getting along with people. After a nicely brief introduction, we jump right to a quiz to help figure out which bird you are are. There are two main categories, which are explained a little after the first quiz. Then you take another quiz to further subdivide you. Once you know which of the 8 you are, and which of the 8 your partner is, there are chapters to tell you about each other and areas that might be troublesome.
Basically, this book takes the Myers-Briggs inventory and uses birds instead of initials. To be fair, the writer does tell you this, and he explains which of the birds mean each Myers-Briggs category. And it is useful. My husband and I took the quizzes, and gave them to his pre-teen daughter. We all got valuable insights from figuring out what each of us was, and then reading about relating to one another. So, even though this is supposed to be for romantic partners, I don't think it should be limited to that.
Although I enjoy British writing a great deal, I found a few terms that I didn't know. For some people that might be annoying. The explanations are concise, but detailed enough to get the information that you need. It didn't take long to actually do the quizzes and then read about our types.
I recommend this book for anyone looking to understand themselves and their partner better, or anyone they love.
