" Very interesting and from a male's perspective. "
-




Catherine Sandy | 2/13/2014
" I've read Escape and Stolen Innocence about two young women who were raised in the FDLS polygamous cult. This book is from the perspective of a young man and the consequences of abuse he suffered as a young child. "
-




Diana | 2/7/2014
" 3 1/2 stars. Escaping from the FLDS from a boys perspective. What a sad life. I had read several others on the same topic so a lot was similar. I was glad to read that one of the girls from a previous book was the one that was able to put Warren Jeffs behind bars where he belongs. "

" If you know me, then you have to know I am facisinated with the whole FLDS cuture and the workings of this "cult". I have read a good number of books on it and Iw as really excited for this one-the author is the grandson of Rulon and was the one who began the law suit against Warren Jeffs. This wasn't as good as I had hoped. Content was interesting, but the writing was not good. "

Charlene | 2/1/2014
" Well written and interesting throughout! "
-




Eric Brown | 1/30/2014
" This is a tough book to read because it is such a heartbreaking story, but incredibly eye-opening as well. To get the real story of what was happening with the Warren Jeffs polygamist clan, this is the perfect book. But it is not for the faint "
-




Nilla | 1/25/2014
" Very easy to read book about the depressing lives of FLDS boys on how they are forgotten and prevented from marrying FLDS girls so they can be saved for FLDS husbands in good standing. "
-




Lorna | 1/18/2014
" Good book. Hard to believe that people can be so brainwashed and live such horrible lives...especially in the US. "
-




Ruth | 1/18/2014
" Gripping story of RLDS "Lost Boys" - also alot of background into the RLDS historical rationale justifying polygamy, plus insight into Warren Jeffs, etc. "
-




Linda | 1/9/2014
" I felt really sorry for these boys, and think this "church" is a crazy, weirdo one, but there needed to be more details. I do wish for a good future for the surviving children. "
-




Angel | 1/1/2014
" I wasn't to sure about this book at first, but it did give me some insight into the FLDS and what went on there. Reading this book I agree with the author when he said it wasn't about religion it Warren Jeffs turned it into a cult. "
-




Jami | 12/21/2013
" A very blunt picture of life for a boy growing up in the FLDS who ultimately leaves it. Some heart-breaking moments. Good companion to Escape for a male perspective compared to a female perspective. "
-




April | 12/19/2013
" Once again I'm glad I'm an atheist after reading this. "
-




Mum | 12/6/2013
" raises lots and lots of questions...get ready Phoof. :) "
-




Charlotte | 12/3/2013
" I liked this book, but it was a bit disturbing. Let's just say that I hope Warren Jeffs rots in prison for the rest of his life. I did think it was sad that in spite of the FLDS having the same roots as LDS, they really don't have a sound understanding of our shared history. "
-




Krystal | 10/21/2013
" Jeffs talks about his upbringing in the FLDS church. I found it to be a fascinating study into another culture that lives right here in the US. It is heartbreaking to read what he and many other children endured and wonderful that he persevered to share his experiences with others. "
-




Laura Yzenbaard | 6/7/2013
" I liked this book. It gives the reader a look into polygamy which for most is a hard to understand and even harder to relate to. "
-




Emily | 4/7/2013
" You know me...love my FLDS books... "
-




Barbara | 3/26/2013
" stopped reading - not worth it at this time. Loved Escape but did not want to read this. "
-




Stephanie | 1/28/2013
" I don't know why I'm so fascinated with these stories, but I am. So sad and unbelievable, my heart breaks for these kids. Worth a read if you are interested in the FLDS. "
-




Joanie Calder | 12/14/2012
" Since moving to this part of the country (Idaho), I've been drawn to learning more about Mormans. This is a very contempory look at Brent Jeffs'experience within his own family of polygamists. Very dramatic, unbelieveable at times. Short book, but a page-turner. "
-




Mary | 10/27/2012
" An inside look at the FDLS church, from a child's perspective. I learned quite a bit while reading and can't even imagine growing up in that environment. "
-




Rachel | 7/4/2012
" It's an interesting look into the closed community of the FLDS. Written from the perspective of a 20something guy who grew up in a polygamous family so obviously not unbiased. "
-




Hayprell | 6/13/2012
" OMG what a monster Warren Jeffs is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
-




Mary Jo Richmond | 12/29/2011
" I don't quite understand my own fascination with the FDLS, but I've enjoyed learning more about what former members say happen in their community. "
-




Kristi | 12/21/2011
" This is the sad story of Warren Jeffs's nephew who was sexually abused by Warren when he was 5. He tells the story of gowing up in, and leaving, the FLDS church. This book was really informative and eye-opening. Brent Jeffs is a brave man to recount his horrific past in such an honest way. "
-




Csillitoe | 12/13/2011
" Incredibly compelling view of the FLDS. "
-




Cetta Hartman | 8/20/2011
" Brent Jeffs was one of the first "lost boys" of polygamy to file suit against Warren Jeffs and the FLDS. Not a big book, but interesting. "
-




Megan Stuchlik | 6/28/2011
" I have read Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall. It was interesting getting a point of view from a man growing up in the FLDS. Highly recommended! "
-




Audrey | 5/23/2011
" March book club. Glad I didn't grow up as he did.
"
-




Smehta | 5/19/2011
" Fascinating true story about abuse in polygamous fundamentalist LDS families.
"
-




Lauren | 5/14/2011
" another more contemporary FDLS book, but written by a DUDE. a lot of the story intertwines with the elissa wall memoir also.
"
-




Cindi | 2/17/2011
" This was very poorly written. I had a hard time finishing this book. His life is interesting but he jumps all over the place in the telling of it.
"
