I admit that I'm surprised by how much I liked this book - I was expecting, as an active Mormon, to be more upset by Krakauer's depiction of my faith. But I didn't really feel like Krakauer was aiming to paint a picture of my faith, or at least not of mainstream Mormonism as it's practiced today - he was out to paint a picture of radical Mormon fundamentalism, and how it got to where it is. And the history in the book is good - yeah, Joseph Smith and Brigham Young taught some weird, messed up things. The modern church has eschewed many of these more esoteric (and racist... and violent...) teachings, but it doesn't change the fact that they were once taught, and that many people still cling to them. And many of those who cling to them are drawn to the fundamentalist groups that have split off of the LDS church. Combine that with an extreme case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a patriarchal worldview, and a violent upbringing, and BAM - you get the Lafferty brothers. And obviously there are plenty of modern-day Mormons, even many narcissists, who don't commit murder or go to the extreme that Ron & Dan Lafferty did. I do think that people sometimes do bad things under the guise of religion, but I don't think that religion, on the whole, causes people to do bad things. And I think it's beneficial that this cautionary tale has been put out there, to remind us of the pitfalls of fanatical religious fervor. I still think that, on the whole, religion helps good people be better people, and I understand how people might disagree with me. But I thought Krakauer did a pretty decent job, despite his biases (that he partially lays out in his Author's Remarks at the end of the book) of making it clear that the Lafferty brothers were the exception, not the rule, to Mormonism (and, to a lesser degree, the exception to Mormon Fundamentalism as well).
