Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer

3.0

---

It took me over 11 hours to read this book. That has to be some kind of record for me and I felt every minute of it. This book was highly educational of the history of Mormonism and its leaders and ideals and everything, which is beneficial if that’s what you want to read about. That’s not what I thought this book was when I selected it but I was committed to finishing it. It did open my eyes to some things and I now know more about the history of this religion than any other but it wasn’t really my style. It was a well researched and well written book that made me feel dumb for not constantly understanding what was being said.
