This book is much more entertaining if you read it as a "historical novel" rather than trying to read it as a religious text. Honestly, because of the sheer volume of anachronistic errors contained in Joseph Smith's book, even trying to read it as a novel is taxing.

Samuel: Moroni's Young Warrior
| Author | Clair M. Poulson |
| ISBN | 1555035531 |
I can't stop myself from snorting in derision over this book, though it's been ok, I guess.

Some of the characters are very irrational and the author seems to be as confused about...
