As an EX-Mormon, I can still say that this is one of the most misleading, hate-filled books on the market. It has often been used in various fundamentalists churches, whose believers are far less devoted to searching for the truth than are Mormons.It has also been frequently used (along with its film version) to stoke the fires of hate in areas where Mormons are erecting temples. If you think that anti-Mormon hate doesn't exist you need only look at the controversies surrounding the construction of Mormon temples around the country - Seattle, Denver, Dallas, Forest Hills, Tennessee, and, most recently, in Boston. The National Conference of Christian & Jews, The National Council of Churches, and many, many other interfaith associations, have denounced this book as dishonest and hateful. Even many career anti-LDS scholars have criticized it's truthless-ness.
