that book is about a very small branch of Mormonism, as publishers weekly says "Using as a focal point the chilling story of offshoot Mormon fundamentalist"


I see very little difference in how one being a Mormon will make me more or less likely to vote for them. Frankly ones religion, or lack thereof, plays very little role in deciding whom I will vote for in an election.

In fact Publishers Weekly goes on to say ". While Krakauer demonstrates that most nonfundamentalist Mormons are community oriented, industrious and law-abiding, he poses some striking questions about the closed-minded, closed-door policies of the religion-and many religions in general.

So I don't see how this book will give me any insight into Romney or why people may or not vote for him.
