      October 15, 2004: Mr. Grimmett's second novel is immensely entertaining, witty and brings to life a polygamist culture still alive and well on the Utah/Arizona border. This fills the bill on both counts. Although a work of fiction, it falls squarely in reality. Grimmett's insight into Mormonism and the polygamist cult is hugely insightful and brings a unique perspective rarely achieved. It's long overdue and a tribute to Grimmett that he's tackled such a notorious subject that's pushed in the shadows of Utah like a decaying carcass. I do not hesitate a second in recommending this novel to anyone interested in Utah history because it is living, breathing history -- now.

      October 14, 2004: There are few novels that make me laugh out loud. Fewer still that make me want me to turn the page. Great read, Comical, insightful, historically researched.
