This is really a shockingly poorly written book. There are grammar errors throughout, and it is stylistically uneven. The writer will randomly jump time perspectives (mentioning where one person is today, but not another). It's a fascinating story, but the writer was not up to the task.

I thought the book was very well written but I will agree it was a little slow getting into it. I lived 2 streets over from the "infamous" barn and pass by it all the time. Having read the book was a little odd at first because they would talk about something in Kirtland and I would know exactly what they were talking about. It's a good read but you can tell it was written from the prosecuter's side. If you want something factual, you would be better off reading about it online.

This is a book with " way too much meat" in a sandwich bag.
It is informative but the paragraphs have so many descriptions of so many people it's hard to keep " who's who straight".

And it was all written in the past tense with not much real action or suspense. ( You know what's going to happen..and after you figure out who's going to do the killing...why should one keep reading?)

I would like to tell the author ...You have a very good story to tell... it should be read by more people....I know you are enthusiastic about the subject. Just slow down and go back and rewrite this book. I'm sure then you'll have a BEST SELLER.

This book is disgusting. There are a few facts in there but it's so slow going it gets to the point where you figure out where they're headed five chapters before they get there. The authors need to figure out that this personal vendetta against this religion or cult or whatever just makes them look pathetic. Don't waste any effort on this sewage.
