I read this one a little over four months ago. It's another generous 7 out of 10 from me. I liked its comprehensiveness in including literally ever person possible and learning a bit more about various people who are in the D&C, but I wish it focused a touch more on those who were living in that time period rather than super long essays about the Holy Ghost, etc. The 8-pages dedicated to who the Holy Ghost is just seemed like they had a bunch of research previously performed about the Holy Ghost that they shoehorned into this book. Same with the 15-page description of Jesus. I appreciate the work put into it and all but I would have liked more paragraphs and pages dedicated to people from the D&C that I don't really know anything about. The Holy Ghost and Jesus portions could have been one paragraph summaries, in my opinion, to allow a greater focus on telling the reader about people that we don't know as much about. So that started to bug me the further I got into this book when I kept coming across very skimpy one-paragraph summaries of people I thought I would be learning more about in this book but realizing that I will have to go to other sources to learn more in-depth details about who many of these people were. Still was a nice book overall and a decent resource for looking up broad details about any person named in the D&C.
