Summary: very eye- opening and honest look at Polyamory
Review: I bought this book so I can better understand the realationship that I am in. It gave me a better understanding of what this whole idea is, and to handle the day-to-day encounters that arise. I feel that anyone who is interested in this lifesytle, this is a must read, and for those who have family members who are in this to understand their choice of lifestyle. This book tackles the subjects from how and what to do with jealousy to making it work. Well written, and honest.

Summary: Understanding Polyamory, and those who choose it.
Review: I enjoyed this book- it's a great intro to Polyamory for folks considering polyamory and also for the families and friends of folks who practice it.If you or someone you love is involved in a poly relaionship, read this ! If you've been burned by a cheater who claimed to be polyamorous but delighted in using others and breaking hearts, read this anyways and discover love.

Summary: it's not for everyone
Review: i felt like i wasn't alone. this isn't a book about just sleeping around. i have a loving relationship with lots of women, but i only have sex with my wife. this books is telling you that you are capable of loving and caring for more than one person. it's telling you that monogamy isn't the only answer. you have choices. it is also a book on communication of telling your love ones what you really want.

Summary: Polyamory: Love Without Limits
Review: I found it to be informative about responsible non-monogamy and the it shows the models of the relationships. i thought there should of been other references such as the O'Neils "Open Marriage" or Mary Ann Watson's "Breaking the Bonds" or Ryam Nearing's Polyfidelity Primer. but i found it overall quite informative.

Summary: it's about choice
Review: i think this book gives you a choice on how you can have your cake and eat it too. i think if you want variety, you can have variety in your relationship as well. i think this book as well as the polyfidelity primer by ryam nearing or breaking the bonds by mary ann watson gives you ideas on how to make this relationship work. it's about choice and the choice is up to you.

Summary: How I spent my summer vacation
Review: If you are morally repulsed by the concept of establishing a loving relationship with several partners at once, don't buy this book. This book won't change your mind. BUT...if polyamory appeals to you, read on! Much of the book outlines what should be common sense, but common sense is often the first thing forgotten in any sexual relationship. Anapol writes very clearly and consisely and is very complete in describing each point to her plan for a successful intimate relationship with your mates. Each point that she raises makes sense and I have yet to disagree with any of her ideas. This book is easy to read. Sometimes, books of this nature focus on flowery language and bury the most important topics with allusions. Instead, this book reads like a straight forward how-to manual for your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Her plain language approach works well in detailing what you need to do to re-channel jealousy as well as what you need to do to make sure everyone in your household remains happy. Many of the practices and concepts that Anapol raises can also be applied to monogamous relationships, but this book was written with the polyamorous in mind.

Summary: An excellent introduction to polyamory.
Review: Love Without Limits is a solid introduction to
polyamory. Polyamory is the practice of
having multiple ethical, honest, non-monogamous
relationships.
Making polyamorous relationships work can be
difficult for many people... they bring up
issues not always faced in monogamous relationships, and poly families often have
few role models and friends who can provide
experienced advice. This makes books like
this one extremely important.
Topics covered include ethics, how to
tell if polyamory is right for you, skills
for successfully managing polyamorous relationships, jealousy, managing transitions
from monogamy to non-monogamy, coming out,
and many more.
While this book is clearly aimed at people
in or considering polyamorous relationships,
I would also recommend its section on
relationship skills (the chapter "Eight
Steps to Successful Polaymory") to people
in or considering monogamous relationships.
Highly recommended. In addition, people
who enjoy this book may also want to look
at a book which approaches some of these topics from a similar but not identical
viewpoint: "The Ethical Slut: A guide
to infinite sexual possiblities" by Easton, Dossie and Liszt, Catherine A.,
Greenery Press, 1997.

Summary: Great book, but read it with "The Ethical Slut"
Review: One of the two best books on polyamory and polyfidelity, with a focus on the latter. Though Anapol's work is beset with preachy "spirituality" discussion that really has very little to do with the subject of the book, and gets annoying at times, the advice and experience in it are priceless. However, it does focus very strongly on the group nature of polyamory - on responsibility, sharing, cooperation, etc. - and is missing much of the information relating to the more personal, hedonistic, and self-reliant side that one needs just as much as the group behavior and relationship partnering side. For that reason, I would strongly encourage anyone reading "Polyamory" to also read Easton & Liszt's "The Ethical Slut", which provides this other half of the picture.
