Meticulous and energetic, critical where necessary, never coy, with some brilliant swerves of presentation and a delicious line in low-key humour. Sex, of course, is endlessly gripping but Gathorne-Hardy gives a sense of lifting the subject out of the mean and shabby into a wonderful, humane light, paralleling precisely what Kinsey himself did

An excellent, far from adulatory biography

An affecting portrait...Gathorne-Hardy's enthusiasm for his subject is infectious... An excellently researched book

A deeply humane book... This biography's vivid protrait of a genius possessed is so compelling... Kinsey is one of the most fascinating and influential figures of the twentieth century, a flawed visionary whose brave and amusing experiences are a testament to the rich complexity of human sexuality... With grace and wit Gathorne-Hardy has given us the full measure of the man

At exactly the right moment, Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy has produced a serious study of Kinsey, of the man and the work... This is the book we need to cap Kinsey's work of liberation at his century's end

Excellent - gives one the interest and confidence to start negotiating.

The best negotiation book of all time.

A superb how-to book.

I rely on Stuart Diamond's negotiation tools every day

One wishes this book could get into the hands of all the suffering children who need it

This story of unfathomable child abuse is told with remarkable wit, compassion, and courage

Highly articulate … Her memories are real, not recovered
