Default Givens, By the Hand of Mormon

Has anyone read Terryl Givens, By the Hand of Mormon?

http://books.google.com/books?id=a5O...result#PPP1,M1

I found a cheap copy at Half Price Books and cruised through most of it this weekend. There are a couple of parts I need to spend more time on, though.

If you've read it, what did you think?

A quick search shows me that some of you have read it, but I couldn't find any specific commentary. Care to share?

Absolutely stunning commentary.

I have no doubt that Chino's review is well deserved.
