I read it fast because I wanted to know what happened. I don't imagine, however, that I'll read it again. And for me, that's the test of a really good book.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-9298269765897043232019-06-01T12:57:08.890-04:002019-06-01T12:57:08.890-04:00I did read and thoroughly enjoyed this book.

It was an interesting story well told. It was a wonderful success story and a good insight into how some of our doomsday neighbors live. But for me it simply did not measure up to the hype. I had no trouble putting it down for a spell, but it is a book I can easily recommend.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-1087702266362645162019-06-01T08:13:43.442-04:002019-06-01T08:13:43.442-04:00Oh my goodness, that's a great sounding book. ...Oh my goodness, that's a great sounding book.

I listened to it as an audio book and kept exclaiming "how are you not dead!" through the first half. <br /><br />I discussed it recently with a Mormon friend of mine who told me she read it in two different book groups - one a Mormon group and one a group thru her work with the foster care system. She said the Mormon group knew that that the religion espoused by the parents was not Mormonism in spite of what they called it, but that she found herself defending her religion in the second group. Every religion has its outliers. KarenBnoreply@blogger.com
