I was at my favorite local indie bookstore yesterday and came across the new paperback edition of Bray Udall’s 2010 novel The Lonely Polygamist.
Hardcover
Paperback
I own the hardcover, which I bought last year at a reading Udall did at said favorite local indie bookstore, but I haven’t read it yet. HOWEVER! The paperback cover is so good that now I am kind of re-excited to read The Lonely Polygamist. Always a good thing.
I like the new cover. I love when they do that and make you re-interested in books
I really, really like the new cover. A lot.
I love the new cover too! I bought it for my Kindle but somehow still haven’t read it. Perhaps it will inspire me too:-)
Ooh, I hope it works for you too!
Both covers are great. I can’t wait to read this one. I pitched it for book club but it was too long for those folks!
Yeah, it is rather lengthy isn’t it?? Oh well. The cover is worth it!
I don’t think I ever noticed the fact that it’s a couch on the hardcover’s cover. I know I never noticed the guy and the dog. Both covers are great!
Surprise!!
I added this to my list after reading Under the Banner of Heaven. I think it looks like unique story line and I have a weird fascination with extreme lifestyles like this. Looking forward to seeing what you think of it if you read it before I do!
From my understanding, this book is a much more light-hearted look at polygamists (and I don’t think there’s any murder). We shall see how it is!
I like the paperback cover more the more I look at it. I own the hardcover!
Me too!! I like it a lot more than the hardcover actually, haha.
I particularly like the new cover.
I’ve read the book, and I dunno … it just ‘fits’ more for me.
I looove this new cover; glad to hear it fits the story better, since, you know, I like the cover so much.
I challenge any reader to get through this book without tears and without wishing you could give Rusty a much-needed hug. Golden doesnt have your typical Mormon Fundamentalist background hes originally from the south and has no Mormon pioneer heritage and he just kinds of ends up a polygamist read the book to find out how .
I just checked this book (with the older cover) out of the library, but now I’m wishing I had a copy with the new cover. It just looks…lonelier to me than the guy and his dog on that super long couch.
