I enjoy watching the TLC show
The first couple chapters seemed a little slow to me and I just couldn’t get into the book. However, after I got a few chapters under my belt and became invested in the characters, I couldn’t put it down! I enjoyed the comparison between being a Mormon and being a Christian and their relationships with God. Ms. Pittman’s perspectives and comparisons were very well written and easily understood.
Overall, I would give Forsaking All Others 3.5 stars. I hope the next book in the Sister Wives series comes soon!
Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of Forsaking All Others in exchange for my personal, honest review.
Please read this series, you will be happy you did!
I was on a kick to read all books about mormons during the Warren Jeffs trials. I had read another book that I love called 'Escape" and it was an actual account of things happening in our news right now. While I searched for every type of book on the subject (nonfiction and fiction) I found Allison Pittman and would fall-in love with reading again. What had been an occasional hobby has become a way of life. I always have a book by my side and it is because of writers like her.
This is the sequel to "For Time and Eternity"; I highly recommend that you read that book before this one, so that you have an understanding of why Camilla left home 8 years earlier, and how she was deceived into the Mormon beliefs.
I really enjoyed this story, and it was hard to put down once I started reading, getting caught up in Camilla's journey and being anxious to find out if she got her children back.
