dphilton 's review for:

Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer
2.0

"Into Thin Air," it's not. Krakauer spent three years finding out all there is to know about the history of Mormonism, especially the violent offshoots that have turned into cult-like enclaves. I'm glad I know about this deeply upsetting story. But, the pacing was slow and the telling was less than engaging. Should I read his book on Missoula? I'm not sure that I will.
