review 1: I know some highly analytical people who would love this book. Since I barely know what an algorithms *is*, I got pretty bored of this one and had to put it down for a little while. But I have a thing about finishing books, so I picked it up and finished it last week. And I still don't understand algorithms. And that's fine. Because it's not important. What is important is that Amy Webb created a pretty detailed list regarding what she wanted in a spouse and went after it, not settling for anything less.
review 2: Ultimately disappointing on the math/science front. Big foreshadowing but in the end there was no real analysis- just word clouds and average profile length. Things that have been widely known for years... Author (probably at the behest of the edit... moreors) went down the usual romance memoir path instead of digging deeper. You can get a more interesting overview of the statistics behind selection from the OkCupid stats blog. less
