Jon Krakauer jumps between three different storylines in his Mormon expose, but the book never really gelled for me as a whole. He was at his best exploring Mormonism's checkered past and the tiny Western communities where polygamy still flourishes. He was less convincing in arguing that two chilling murders committed by religious fanatics indicate Mormonism is, at heart, a violent religion.
