Negative Positive
Title: Sensational and salicious
Review: I threw the book in the trash after skimming it for about an hour. For some reason, the author believes that the Mormon faith played an integral role in Lori's murder...that if Mark Hacking were not a Mormon, he wouldn't have killed his wife (I wonder, if Mark had been a member of some other religion, would religion have even been mentioned in the book?). Major portions of the book are filled with lies and half-truths about the Mormon church used, I'm sure, to create an even more sensational story (the author himself, in the foreword, admits he gathered his information on the Mormon church from disaffected former members. So much for journalistic honesty). There was also the inclusion of very sacred ceremonies and symbols from the Mormon faith that served no purpose to the story whatever...except to create controversy. Sadly, I guess we all know controversy sells books, even poorly written books like this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
