a fair biography of Joseph Smith dealing with the man, his actions, ambitions and revelations. I wish it was more complete - detail seemed to be lacking in parts
3.5 stars if I could.
As an introvert, I was hoping to find ways to improve myself, but not much was offered there. it Did change my perspective on how I view other introverts for the better, and I guess somewhat for myself.
This book is very much about understanding introverts, but it doesn't do much to help introverts understand extroverts. it is pretty much one sided and tells introverts be who you are and extroverts to deal with it, which isn't really a practical solution

a very thorough and enjoyable read about God's dealings with the people of the Americas from antiquity to modernity. I'm sure that some days presented are dubious, but taking everything as a whole it helps understand America better, and continue to improve what we have.
it is also inspiring reading about our God given rights and how we should extend them to all.
If you've read the Washington hypothesis, you got a more condensed version of this book. while I enjoyed the Washington hypothesis more, this is still a great read worth your time

good conclusion to the first volume in the frontiers saga. as a whole these books have been exciting, entertaining and well written. my biggest complaint is the language. I wish our wasn't so coarse throughout so I could recommend these books to others.
This book matches my thoughts for the whole series

a lot of interesting theories are presented, which make the book worth reading. This is hardly an "optimists guide" with bleak outlooks from automaton to climate change and very little optimism. most of the book is how bad things could get.
I think the author intended the final chapters about his hometown in Minnesota to be the optimism, but it really seems more like he's just reminiscing about days gone by.

While not much in this book was "new" to me and seemed like common knowledge, I suppose it could be of great value to some.
There were a few chapters that changed how I look at my marriage, and I thank the author for that.
There is some wisdom for everyone in this book- even those that are happily married. It will probably be different for you than it was for me, but we are all in didn't stages of life/marriage. While the wisdom is presented in LDS theology, those of any faith will benefit.
