I am a former mormon. Who was a member for about 8 years. But I have found that the book of mormon is just merely a rewrite of the bible, with a new "twist." I had always wondered why the Book of Mormon followed the same format and same flow of stories as the bible. But if you into reading fiction by a highly imaginative writer(and you have time on your hands) then this is the book for you. Though this might be the book that puts you to sleep if you are an isominac. I highly recomend that this is not read during the day.
