The characters drew me in at first but it was a bit saccharine for my taste. Not much happens action wise so it is a lot of repetition.

The author seems to be trying to tell the honest truth while not coming across as bashing his family. I appreciate the story and its insights and the writing is fine. I just don’t know why they let the author read this book for audio. His cadence is sing song and stilted at best. It detracts from the story, which is important to be told.

I wanted to like this book, but the story unfolds ploddingly and with too much repetition of internal thoughts or explanations of why the characters are how they are. Rather than showing the reader who the characters are through scenes, we are constantly in their heads while the story goes nowhere. Could not finish even on sped up narration.

Even though I disagree with the author’s final assessment of the situation, I understand the complexities and the issues within the system that make it a very difficult call. Listening to the audiotapes of the accused, I feel certain that the author was correct on the first book she wrote. But I really appreciate her willingness to self-reflect and consider the flawed system that makes this very thing an issue.

Daniel James Brown writes with precision and clarity, with a lyrical narrative that allows the reader to see the story unfolding.

I might have liked the story had it not been so over-dramatically read. People just don’t speak this way. The language in the story does the work. It doesn’t need to be so over wrought the entire way through. Less is more.

While rather lengthy, this narrated, audible version of the book, held my attention throughout a long drive. Focused on one particular, gruesome, murder, the author explores the history of the Mormon church, and which factions might foster the evil that lived in one Mormon family. There were so many enlightening elements to this work and I’m glad I chose it.

Compelling stories hard to hear, but so important. I hope they find someone to investigate further.

Too slow for me and the main character is just not likable from the start.

So plodding in the beginning that I sped up AND skipped forward in places. Once you get past that and start to hear from the second character the pace and tension pick up and it gets more interesting. If I hadn’t finished it (and I almost quit from boredom) I’d have thoroughly disliked this book. But I became invested in the story and the characters midway through. Good story.
