Review: Found to be ponderous at times

For those unfamiliar with the Mormon faith & practices this could create an unbalanced bias.  Some of what was presented was just flat child abuse by an unbalanced man, not a religious practice or even encouraged by the religion. I often felt while reading that this author was putting a lot of blame on the religion while presenting actions of his parents. There was fact in much of what was written..there was personal bias, of course, and his own views on how the LDS "works".I read the book..I would not read it again...professionally I have dealt with child abuse & this is a book that recounts many episodes of child abuse that continued into adult manipulation by his parent. It  is not a book that was meant to entertain so much as to inform. Or perhaps it was just the authors way of cleansing some of his pain & grief related to his family & the LDS community.
