I am enjoying the insights I am gaining about the Prophet Joseph Smith and his family and their lives in this book. I started it not expecting too much new information, but have been pleasantly surprised by new and interesting insights into his character and the basis for many of his character traits and desires, including the foundations of faith that were nurtured and inspired by his progenitors through their conversions and convictions towards Jesus Christ.

I've read several by Gibbons, and I never love them. He's just not a good writer. He gives waaaaaaaaaaaay too much detail and doesn't seem capable of leaving a single thing out. I don't need to know everything that happened every year of the subject's life. How about organizing by theme, or by relationship, or something other than chronology? But there is no other biography of George Albert Smith published, and my dad owned this one, so I picked it up to see what he had been reading.

Other than that, some interesting stuff in here. Reading all these books that belonged to by dad makes me feel closer to him and yet makes me miss him more at the same time. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. 3 stars for this one.… (mere)
