4.0

I really enjoyed this book, but that is held up largely by the fact that I'm a huge fan of the show. If you're not a fan of the show, you won't enjoy this book. That's plain and simple, mainly because you have to know the personalities of the women, Kody, and their kids to give each section a tone of voice--otherwise you're just reading the same story five times.

If you are a fan of the show, you will definitely hear the voices of all four wives come through. I'm personally a huge fan of Christine and Mary, and their stories were my favorite to read. I have no opinion about Robyn, but I have Janelle--and the book made me hate her even more.

If you have a wife you don't like, the memoir will likely just reinforce your hatred of them. You don't learn much, especially if you watched the show's special after the book came out. But it's still nice to add a few details to the stories you already know.
