Under the Banner of Heaven - Jon Krakauer

Has anyone read this book? Its a true story written about the Mormon church.

I have it, but haven’t read it yet. His book “Into Thin Air” convinced me never to climb Mt. Everest.

Into the Wild is also good. They eventually made movies or TV series on many of his books.

I picked up on that. They just released a TV series on the book.

I read it many years ago when it came out. As I recall it is about murders in a Mormon family after some family members got deep into a fringe fundamentalist Mormon rabbit hole. But it has been a long time and I don't really recall the details. Krakauer is an excellent author though.

I expect one could write a similar book about fundamentalist belief gone awry using that more recent example of that Menno couple and their neighbors who murdered a child in Missouri last year. Maybe someone will.

I understand there is a new TV series based on the book but I haven't seen it.

Krakauer had several of his books made into movies or series. From what I understand, they really botched one of them and Krakauer was hesitant to let them do another, but eventually caved.

Yes, I have thee book and have read it.

Guess I should've added commas after "thee" and "book", since I was addressing a book. It's called personification or apostrophe--did you know the latter?

So does that provide for switching personification and ending with "it" rather than "thee" again?
