having it all?

I'm sorry, it's really hard for me to feel any sympathy for a polygamist who cheats on his wives. Cause....really? REALLY? Four ladies isn't enough for you, fictional douchebag? Udall draws such compelling characters, but the sun around which this little solar system orbits sucks. He sucks a lot. And in an annoying way. There's nothing enjoyable about hating Golden, it's not like hating Iago and still being fascinated by him. Golden is every annoying husband cliche and I found myself skipping past chapters focusing on his plight to get to any other character at all, even the weird guy with fireworks or the annoying kids.

That said, this book has such a good title, so if that's what we're judging things by, rock on, Lonely Polygamist.
