2x2 on the Art was a bit misleading, as I initially thought it was a child's book. However, now that I know the contents of the book, I'm all for it. The five secrets of a great relationship would assist couples to navigate the pitfalls of their own relations and make it great and fulfilling. Thank you for your review.

I wondered about the book's title and how it related to Noah's Ark. It made me think that this would be a Christian guide to relationships, but I read the book sample online, and it sounds more neutral (religion-wise). If I were the author, I might have picked a different cover for the book, to accurately reflect its content. Great review, and congrats to the author on BOTD!

At first, I thought this book is a documentary in animals' conservation program. I don't know, but the hidden message from the title and book's cover kind of on point and make sense, tho. I mean human are animal too, right? Also it is our fate to have a partner in life and maintain the healthy relationship for our future. But honestly, this is not my type of book at the moment. Thank you for an informative and helpful review.

The last question of your wonderfully written review answers the question that I had before downloading this book. I was a little concerned about a possible strong religious element due to the title of the book. Thank you so much for clearing up that confusion. I'll give it a whirl! :D

The cover is a little misleading. I definitely thought it was a book about animals, not human romantic relationships. Still, it sounds like the author has some great advice on how to improve communication in partnerships. Thanks for the detailed review.

Like a few others, I also thought the book's title meant it would from a Christian perspective. The excerpt, where Giuffra cites Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh suggests that's not the case at all, as does other text touching on cognitive behaviour. Fezzier's detailed review, opening this thread also makes it very clear that Noah's ark is used metaphorically.

The excerpt was interesting and seems to offer sound suggestions on how to have strong relationships, promising much for the book itself - as borne out by Fezzier's complimentary review.

A good guide book "2X2 on the Ark:" by Mary J Giuffra, which shows the ways to make love relationships great. The fne explaination about each of the five secrets makes it more useful to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

I liked the cover but kinda laughed at the title. At first, I thought the book was going to discuss more of Noah's ark then it being about relationships and how to make them last. I really enjoyed reading the sample and learned new tips on how to keep a relationship going.

I think the description and the book say something key: "Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is hard." Glad that this book will hopefully help some stay in love. Congratulations on book of the day!

The title of the book together with its cover made such a huge impression already. The official review also presented the book in a manner that it left me wanting to read it. Congratulations on BOTD.
