There wasn't enough science to be a real science book (definitely too much anecdotal) and not enough humor to be a comedy book, it felt stuck between the two. I thought it was alright. The parts about dating in other countries was one of the best parts. I think if you are single and looking for advice there isn't that much in there to be honest. There are examples of laypersons writing an in depth book on a topic (Jon Ronson and Mary Roach) who do an excellent job, this did not feel like one of those.
