katiepope86 's review for:
Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith
by Jon Krakauer
John Krakauer is just absolutely amazing to me. He traveled all around the US, conducting interviews, reading books, speaking to people over the phone, and continuing in this manner for 3-4 years to spend ANOTHER year writing this book. I am blown away with the amount of factual information and history this book contains. I will read anything he writes.
A lot of people argue that this novel is "against Mormonism," where I think the facts speak themselves against at least the fundamentalist Mormon.
I have attended a LDS church service before, and never felt like I was in a hostile or crazy environment, and readers should understand that Krakauer is portaying historical facts and writing about interviews mostly about FLDS. The guy CANNOT be perfect and hit every angle the way every reader wants him to hit it.
Yeah, the facts speak volumes.
This book was CREEPY as hell. I couldn't put it down.
