4.0 out of 5 stars Prisons of the Mind, May 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Prisons of the Mind (Hardcover)

Prisons of the Mind is an accurate, while biased (the daughter of a polygamist), account of life in a polygamist society. Living in Utah myself, the content was very interesting to me. The author is talks about her own personal encounter with polygamy from childhood to adulthood. I recommend this book to anyone interested in finding out more about polygamy from a source who lived through the experience.

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time money and paper, January 16, 2001

This review is from: Prisons of the Mind (Paperback)

What a waste of time! While potentially an interesting story the total absence of any writing skills what so ever result in an incredibly boring and poorly written book. Filled with direct speech (including conversations with animals that took place years ago) and irrelevant detail, I struggled to finish this book. Even the author herself seems to "give up" about half way through and uses court transcripts to "fill out" the book. These are not the transcripts of a ground breaking case but the transcripts of a case which Ms Hancock's husband brought against her regarding the ownership of some property. If you are looking for a good book on polygamy don't buy this one! One star is one to many.
