Bring on the Thunder!

I'm so excited to finally have figured out what I am doing on this blog thing... it's been a work in progress but here I am. My thoughts on Mormon Thunder have continually changed as I have read the book. Although I couldn't figure out how to post my own comments I have read yours and I must say that I have had so many of the same ideas. This has made it more difficult to come up with something new so I will simply agree with you all... you have such great incite! As I started the book I really liked the feel of it and was excited to keep reading more. I was very excited to see who Jedediah would choose to marry etc because he is such a devoted mormon it would take a special girl for him. I was very disappointed to find that that whole aspect of his life was glazed over so quickly it was as if it wasn't very important. Even now I can't remember his first wife's name. After that disappointment the book seemed to go much more slowly and it was hard for me to stay interested. I will say on a more positive note that I do like the style of journals and letters and then commentary that moves it along. I haven't read many books that use this tactic and I like it. I'm not quite finished with the book so I will sum up my consensus when I do. Oh and thanks for all your posts... they have helped me stay interested.
