#21: The Antelope in the Living Room

The Antelope in the Living Room by Melanie Shankle was recommended by some of my friends who work in childwatch with me.  It's a story of finding all the humor in the differences between husbands and wives in marriage. 

I found some parts of the book funny, but overall I found the wife, Melanie, funny in a very annoying way.  I did like some of the things suggested in the book.  I really liked the explanation of young love verses old love.  I can really see this in my own marriage.  I guess I can't really relate as much to this story as some people can since I don't really have a shopping addiction and my husband doesn't have a hunting addiction.  I think this book would be interesting for a newly wed wife to read.  And there were some funny parts.

Up Next:  The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
