Finally picked up a copy of Under The Banner of Heaven in the SLC airport
on my way back home. About 1/3 of the way through it. He does a "great" job of interweaving mainstream LDS with fundies to make it sound one and the same.

I like Krakauer, he lets the facts do the talking without a lot of editorializing on his part. |

Well, I don't know how accurate his account of Into the Wild was, but I did enjoy the movie. If one of my sons ran away like that I would be so incredibly heartbroken. It was a selfish dumbass thing to do to people who love you.
Opie Taylor has made a few good movies. I will at least have to check this one out once it gets to Netflix. |
