3.0

Predictable tortured angry female lead reluctantly marching to her fate. It's good for a relaxing read or audio book when you aren't in the mood for paying a lot of attention. Two of the Five main characters are loveable but the others are a little too much of a troupe

Did not finish book. Stopped at 67%.

I found it to be very slow and too meshed with statistical facts.

4.0

I have read numerous books about the FLDS cult and this book by far is the most informative. Brent takes his time to explain to you the beliefs that lead to the practices and sites his references. This is done phenomenally well. He does such a great job of showing how the faith got to the point it did.
