Adam Johnson read and liked Michael Oliver's review of The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ (Official Edition):

"No, I'm not Mormon, but my sister is! and what better way to totally understand what Mormons believe than to read what they believe.

It seems pretty obvious, I guess, but I was caught up in reading books ABOUT Mormons, and ABOUT Mormonism-- and where does that get me? There are some fascinating tales in here of biblical proportions. I highly recommend it.(less) "

It used to be available only as an official publication of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but is now available from amazon.com. An American book of scripture, it helped inspire the growth of Mormonism in America. It has also inspired many commentaries, both supportive and critical. The early modern English is tremendously off-putting to many (Mark Twain called it "chloroform in print" and remarked that if one removed all of the instances of "it came to pass" the book would become a pamphlet), but I happen to love the beauty of the King James version of the Bible. The stories in the book are gripping in their own right--compare Orson Scott Card's thinly veiled science-fiction adaptation in his Homecoming series. Because of the extreme polarizing effect of the book, I'll leave it to readers to make up their own minds about the historicity of the book and about the spiritual implications, but it's worth reading if only because of its effect on the lives of millions of people and because of the stories in the book.(less) "
