[Laurie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Again another book I read for my research project in my English class.

Truthfully I didn't read the whole book. This book is an anthology of previously published works by “experts” on the respective subjects. There were two essays on polyamory one pro and the other in opposition to polyamory. The essay opposing polyamory proved to be nothing more than a ridiculously rant. However the essay pro polyamory contained some interesting information. The author, Valerie White, effectively appeals to ethos by sharing her lifestyle in a sincere yet non-apologetic way. She’s respectful in the way that she educates about her beliefs and as a result garners compassion.

A book of articles that went back and forth to extremes. I really did not learn much new, but people will always have their own opinions about sex.
