I didn't expect to like this book as much as I actually did. But it was a pretty good book. All 5 of the adult Browns write a chapter on each topic presented in the book, offering each of their individual perspectives but at the same time also telling the story of their family and their lifestyle together. They did a good job of it.

I've always been a fan of the show, and of course at first I started watching it because of the whole "train wreck" factor, but then I grew to respect and like them and their family and even their lifestyle. The Browns are really nice people who are honestly just trying to change the face of polygamy and make things easier for good families like theirs who are loving, well balanced, well adjusted people with healthy, happy kids who all just do things a little bit differently.

The book is basically the show, but with a lot more detail and in depth discussions. After reading the book I realize the show leaves a lot out and doesn't tell the fully story. I'm sure the book doesn't tell the full story either, but you get a lot more out of it. For example, on the show they kind of tend to be made out to be this perfectly happy family that always works everything out, so it makes you kinda wonder what REALLY goes on behind the scenes... in the book, there is a lot more honesty about struggles and problems, which makes it a lot easier to accept their lifestyle.

All in all I am glad I read the book. :) I've always had an interest in the subject of polygamy and found it intriguing, so for me it was a great read.
