I guess this was entertaining enough that I read the whole thing, but I wasn't impressed. I won't be passing this book on to my friends and it will end up in my Goodwill pile. The first wife, Birdie, annoyed me and I felt like the second wife, Joan, would never have actually married Ken. I guess I was supposed to believe he was charming, but I didn't really see that. The only wife I liked was the last one but I overall I just didn't like the characters or the story plot.
