hainyh 's review for:
I must have downloaded this book a couple of years ago, but have only recently managed to get into it enough to complete it. I had no idea that the Brown family were the subject of a reality TV show in America, but I am eager to try and hunt the series down, which has proved difficult to do in the UK!
I found this a really fascinating read, although very difficult for me to get my head around, given that I do not have any religious beliefs or faith, and struggle to see how polygamy is a 'thing'. That being said, Kody Brown and the four sister wives appear to have made it work for them, and although there have been many trials and tribulations along the way, it appears on the whole to be a positive experience for all of the children and wives themselves.
The thing I didn't like about this book, is that it is split into sections / topics, and each topic is told in a chapter by each wife. For instance, the section on 'sorority' is told four times over, once by each of the wives. It was useful to read all of their perspectives, but this meant that there was a lot of repetition. I could understand reading one or two perspectives on each topic, but four seemed like overkill and I found myself reading the same thing over and over again.
If you are interested to learn more about polygamy and how functioning in a family with four wives and just one husband can work, I would definitely recommend this book - it's very eye-opening!
