A very, Very, VERY Mormon book, Mar 13 2010
By Christopher Bigelow - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Rise of Zion (Paperback)
This third book in Daybell's last days series is EXTREMELY Mormon. What I mean is that it studiously avoids any real conflict or graphic portrayal of reality and paints an extremely rosy picture. Daybell's style is very clear and easy to read, but he tends to skim over the surface of almost everything, so the novel reads more like a summary of events than like a full-bodied dramatized treatment that really comes to life.Still, I found myself sticking with it to find out what happened, even if everything comes very easily to God's righteous people, for whom America is basically depopulated now, leaving the Mormons free to build a huge City of Zion full of gold-plated temples and suburban homes with new carpet and computers.
I like what Daybell does with the ten lost tribes of Israel in this book. Otherwise, it falls pretty flat for me. There's some goofy humor I didn't much enjoy, particularly involving one of the Three Nephites. I wish he would slow down and really render the story with more details, conflict, and drama. For the plot this novel covers, it should be almost twice as long if Daybell were really fleshing everything out properly. This novel seems ideal for about an 11-year-old reader, not an adult looking for anything approaching a deep, nuanced, realistic, fully rendered treatment of an endlessly fascinating topic.

This was a good book. The first and second in the series were by far the best. As he wrote more of them they became less interesting. Would still recommend it though it was a good series to read. Alot better than alot of other books out there!

I have read the 1st four books in this series twice. I never usually read a book twice but these gave me some ideas of things that might happen in the last days. They held my interest and I don't know anything else to say except I loved them.
Listmania!
