Ratings and reviews

I found this book to be very lacking, and flat in the history that it attempted to portray. I also found it to misleading on several points. One of the things that this book would have you believe, is that for the most part, among the saints in Joseph Smith's day, there wasn't any controversy or contention among the saints. which is far from the truth. It also seemed to me that they were trying to obscure and falsify other things. After reading what I did of this book, I was left with the feeling that this book was written to be a fu fu la la book that is meant to get people to stop asking questions.

Clear and concise.

great read
