However, the style was not great and it was occasionally too preachy for me. Too much speculation, as well, about what a person might have done or said or thought. Some of that is, I suppose, inevitable, but with some of the profiles, there was too much guesswork and not enough fact.
Recommended for Latter-Day Saints or those interested in the church and its history. ( )
