mdavids 's review for:

Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer
4.0

I was driven to read this after the first Sherlock Holmes novel whose plot involves Mormons.

A classic weave-the-past-and-present-together structure, and both parts are equally engrossing.

Fascinating, but not as good as Salvation on Sand Mountain, which I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who enjoyed this book.
