Against the nay-sayers who have reviewed this book, I'm going to say that this book is utterly fantastic. There are no faults in it; it is written clearly and engagingly and with a pace that doesn't allow for interruption. Polyamory is a feature of life and it has been throughout human existence. It wasn't until the US government in the latter half of the 19th century took to actively persecuting the Mormons or Latter-Day Saints that any real uproar ensued in the West. After crushing the Mormons, the persecution went to Europe. Nations under Islamic suzerianty quietly kept on practicing the polygamy which is native to the older Semitic religions, the notable exception being Christianty......but, Christianity has always loathed human sexuality, unless one acknowledges the institutionalized pederasty that has been part and parcel of the religion from the beginning.Ms. Block details quite openly her life as a kid who believed that marriage was the pinnacle of existence - well, at least for girls. Growing up she gradually found herself in a marriage which worked at first but began to come to pieces after their daughter was born. She had the intelligence, no, common sense, to realize that it wasn't her, it wasn't her husband, it was the institution itself. Along with her husband they forged into what every couple which becomes polyamorous in one way or another discovers, that they had to figure things out for themselves. They did. And the did so amazingly well! She emphasizes over and over that the key to making it work is openness and honesty. Tell the truth to each other no matter what. As a polyamorous person living with a wife and boyfriend, I concur.The only "problem" with the book is that it will fall upon deaf ears. There will be enough people who are scandalized by the idea, who will think her and her husband and girlfriend to be crazy, perverse, selfish. One guy was discussing this very subhect on 420 Chan quite a while a go and his analysis was that polyamorous people wanted quantity and not quality. This is in so many words, just a crock. You can love more than one person with all of your heart because the heart is infinite, something my wife Sarai told me many years ago. I was delighted to see that Ms. Block had a chapter entitled, "you'll never run out of love;" and she's right. For the nay-sayers, for the fools who imagine that we want quantity not quality, all I can express is pity: describing the joy, the enhancements to our relationships that a polyamorous life has brought us is like describing sight to the blind. Blindness reigns in the heart of the great monogamous fairy tale we are force fed through the media; we want no part of it; if it works for you, fine, but I have my doubts that it has ever worked.
