I thought that I would get used to the lisp.

Revisado: 08-06-23

I'm not saying this to be rude but 29 hours is a long time to listen to someone with a minor lisp.

if it were the author reading the book then I would give them a pass but as a professional narrator I'm just kind of surprised.

One of my top three books on Mormon history

Revisado: 06-10-22

I own hundreds on Mormonism and quite a few dozen on religion and God.

One of the reasons I like the book so much is because it clearly demonstrates how the 1890 manifesto was not followed by the leaders of the church and how this deception in pretending to have stopped living polygamy fueled the underground movement and the fundamentalist polygamist groups that sprang out of Mormonism.

Learned a ton about someone that I thought I knew.

Revisado: 12-07-21

I was a cougar club season ticket holder for all of Steve's games at BYU. I watched every game that I could when the 49ers were on TV.

The book was peppered with familiar names to me.

His vulnerability in expressing his self-doubt was inspiring and unexpected.

As a lifelong Mormon, I thought at times the book was a little heavy on the references to religion which was the only downside to the entire book.

this is an embridged version.

Revisado: 10-14-21

I must say that this is an embridged version. which I found disappointing, to say the very least.

The details of the horrific treatment of so-called

Revisado: 06-24-19

this makes an excellent case of why it is so important to have separation of church and state so that the superstitions of one religious sect or another cannot use the power of local state or national government to turn around and torture and kill innocent people without proper checks and balances and oversight

some English narrators are very pretentious

Revisado: 01-01-17

however as the book continued the pretentious and spurious pronunciation with an annoying English accent seem to fit the main character of the book as the book went on

Nice!

Revisado: 11-30-15

the narrator was excellent as always but the story was not so so....

it is hard to compare an audiobook - his TV show because he was so animated in this facial expressions and you don't quite get that in an audiobook

I learned about myself & Mormon church mistakes.

Revisado: 03-28-15

I learned about myself justification in my relationships with others and I saw many samples in my Mormon church history where we play the victim and ignore contrary evidence that we were also, as Mormons, at fault. The leaders of the church in particular, made mistakes and then made excuses for bad behavior for hundreds of years.

This book made it clear why it was so easy for good people to justify really bad behavior. Like Joseph Smith taking provera wives of women who were already married to other man even married to non Mormons in the example of my great great great aunt Mary Elizabeth Rollins Lightner Smith Young.
