steveinadelaide's review against another edition
5.0
I’ve been reading all of David Fitzgerald’s books in a row — and he never disappoints. This is a stunning exposé of Mormonism. It has to be one of the most absurd “mainstream” religions on the planet and people have been conned into it from its very beginnings with its bizarre belief system, secrecy, misogyny, and pseudo-scientific archeology. Fitzgerald makes history come alive. He is a careful researcher who backs everything up with high-quality historical evidence — and writes with a sense of humour that makes for a compelling read. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Reading it will also give you an insight into how cults deceive people and, once joined, do everything they can to keep members from knowing anything that might undermine their faith. This book is one of the most engaging, interesting, and enlightening I have read about any religion.
