If anyone is interested in reading anything about the history of Mormonism, I would say this book is a must-read (the book is filled with LDS lingo, so having a good understanding of Mormon society and LDS terminology will certainly help). I was surprised at the calm, well-balanced approach the author gives. Normally, we expect to find people who are either stridently pro-Mormon or anti-Mormon on subjects like this. However, David Buerger's approach is very different. He barely makes any attempt to interpret what he writes, consciously avoiding the polemical pitfalls (for the most part, anyway). In the majority of the book, he simply strings together historical documents, letters, etc., with his own narrative commentary that connects the texts in a cohesive manner. Though he provides a description of historical development of the LDS temple ceremony, he does not judge the validity of it -- whether good or bad. He does not ridicule or mock the rituals, nor does he sugar coat it by avoiding uncomfortable areas from the past. Without knowing his background, one would be hard-pressed to know for certain if he were an active LDS member, or an inactive member. You can't tell from the text. His work is, as he mentions in the preface, his attempt "to achieve a balance of scholarly objectivity, reverence for the sacred, regard for the sensibilities of others, and adequate documentation and development of the points to be discussed" (viii). I believe he succeeds. In the opening preface, he clearly indicates his desires to be sensitive to the sacred beliefs of the LDS community (and he does, in fact, avoid a lot of detailed information about the language of the endowment, as well as steering clear of the types of details LDS members consider most sacred). But he also provides a scholarly view on the history and development of the temple endowments. In so doing, he does go into some detail about the whole process that might make some folks a bit uncomfortable. But I would suggest that the discomfort is not due to the author's attitude toward the Church, but rather the open way he discusses aspects of the endowment that most people refrain from discussing outside the temple (but even then, he stops far short of discussing many details out of respect). I would highly recommend this book to anyone. Whether active members, inactive, former, soon-to-be, whatever the case may be, whatever the interest in LDS religion, I would recommend this. I've been a lifelong Mormon, and there's a ton of information and documentation in the book about events and experiences I'd never heard of before. And some of it was.... well..... eye-opening.

This is an amazing book. I think it should be read by everyone, so that those of us not living in Israel/Palestine can have a better idea of both history and current times. It's difficult to read, because of the sadness and missed opportunities and miscommunications and anger. And yet, there is some glimmer of hope, though I am more of the mind of one person in the book who believes that in 100 years things will be different and there's nothing we can do about now. Look at a map of 100 years ago he says, or 200 hundred years ago, and see the differences. What countries existed and which didn't. I'm sending this book to my older sister in Los Angeles. I'm hoping she'll read it and pass it along to someone else.

Man, I don't know about this one. I really wanted to like it, but I'll be damned if I could understand the motives of any single character.

To be perfectly honest, I was confused a lot duing this book; not because of the plot, but because I found the explanations of the other dimensions absolutely baffling. That aside, I thought that this book was captivating, and extremely original. I really loved it!

I am giving this book to my sister for christmas, so I ordered it and sat down to read it again before giving it to her. This is such a great book! It's a fast paced, detective-esque story, whose narrator has Tourette's. It scratched my itch for valiant wordplay and excellent characters, and I'd recommend it to anyone. One thing I particularly like about this book? I have no hesitation recommending it to men and women alike.

Read it for class... I liked the book more and more as I went and last chapter has some really great information in it. Although I didn't always like her tone, her experiences were eye-opening and humbling. Very thought provoking.

Beautifully written of course but overall slow-moving. I think I've got to give it a second read before I can really give an opinion. If you're dedicated to reading the classics or a fan of Joyce go for it but overall I don't recommend it.

Who didn't go through an Anne of Green Gables phase? I think I hit mine in the fourth grade, and then tried to write embarrassingly bad stories along the same style.
I really, really enjoyed this book. Easy, readable prose. Great story about women. Their relationships. Growth. Life. Has a few F-bombs but would definitely recommend it.
