I thought this book was fascinating. I learned a lot about the Mormon religion, especially the fundamentalists. And wouldn't you know, the day I finish reading this book, Warren Jeffs, the leader of the fundamentalist church who is mentioned in the book, is arrested for child rape and 51 children are removed from the compound in West Texas. Polygamy is some crazy stuff, yo. Very interesting book.
This book was very eye-opening and intense! I learned a lot about the history of Mormonism and Fundamentalist Mormons.

Krakauers bias against the Mormon church was prominent throughout this book. The line between the extremist FLDS and the LDS Mormon church it self was not always specified as he recounts the history of the FLDS group. This extremist religious group that led these men to eventually commit their crimes. I did enjoy how he uses the history to show how these men could have these values that led them to murder. I do find that Krakauer has a tendency to jump around making some connections hard to follow. I also wish more of this book was about the mentioned crime.
