This is a train-wreck book -- not in the sense that it’s bad (although it’s not exactly good) but in the sense that’s it’s so horrifying, you can’t stop reading. It's a harrowing story and made me feel a little voyeuristic for finding it so compelling. But the information about life in the FDLS (the fundamentalist branch of Mormons) was really interesting, and though the author broke away from the church and that life, it's a more sympathetic portrait than you might expect.
