Hmmm well, interesting ideas and a few good quotes interspersed in here, but it’s rather emotional writing so if you don’t like that, you probably won’t like the book. Also, it makes a bit of a case for the whole polyamory thing (which seems to be the choice topic of late), but without fully examining the sort of modernity-related ideas of why things look like they may be heading in this direction due to the obvious changes accompanying the shift into and beyond the “information age”... still this is the most heartfelt and I guess soul-driven, humane piece of writing I’ve come across so far that attempts to explain and/or validate this concept. If you’re looking for deeper and more useful insight into the relationship conundrum, though, there are other books far better (Terrence Real’s How Can I Get Through To YOU? & David Kantor’s My Lover, Myself, for example).
